Defining your A/V Tools options
3 Under Editing Video Format , select the video format and aspect ratio you
want for your clips. For example, select NTSC and 4:3 if you want to capture
and play back NTSC clips with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
Remarks
$
When you select an editing video format, many of the playback and
capture settings are predetermined for you. All clips are captured to your
selected video format, and clips added to the clip list must have the same
frame size and frame rate. You can mix interlaced and progressive clips
that have the same frame size and frame rate in a clip list.
$
Once your editing video format has been defined, it cannot be changed.
You can run multiple instances of A/V Tools if you want to capture or
play back clips with a different video format.
$
Your editing video format will automatically change if you load a . dvl file
with a different format. For more information see, “Saving and loading a
clip list” on page 200 .
4 Under Display Time Code As , select the format that you want for
displaying time codes in A/V Tools (applicable only if you’re using a video
format that has a frame rate of 29.97 or 59.94). The format used is indicated
by the separator between the seconds and frames digits in the time code
fields as follows:
$
A colon ( : ) indicates non-drop frame.
$
A semicolon ( ; ) indicates drop frame.
5 Click the Playback Settings button to specify your playback settings (see
“Defining your playback settings” on page 178 ).
6 Click the Capture Settings button to specify your capture settings (see
“Defining your capture settings” on page 190 ). If capture is not supported for
