Marking Controls

Use these controls to set In and Out points for a clip on tape.

 Mark In (I): This sets the In point for a clip on tape.
 Clip In Point Timecode field: Shows the timecode value of the currently set In point.
 Go to In Point: This causes the connected VTR to cue to the currently set In point.
 Mark Out (O): This sets the Out point for a clip on tape.
 Clip Out Point Timecode field: Shows the timecode value of the currently set Out point.
 Go to Out Point: This causes the connected camcorder or VTR to cue to the currently

set Out point.

Capture Tab

The Capture tab is where you enter all of the descriptive information about a clip before
you capture it. Entering descriptive information about a clip is also known as logging.

Capture Bin Controls

Use the Capture Bin controls to choose where clips are stored when you capture them.

 Capture Bin: This button contains the name of the bin in your project where logged

clips for captured media are stored. There can be only one capture bin at a time, no
matter how many projects are open. When you click this button, the bin opens in its
own window; if the bin is already open, that window moves to the front.

 Up: Click to move the capture bin up a level from the currently selected bin. For

example, you could switch from a bin to the bin that contains it. If the current
capture bin is at the highest level, clicking this button assigns the project itself as the
capture bin.

 New Bin: Click this to create a new bin inside the currently selected bin, and set it as

the capture bin.
