General Settings for Capture Presets
 Name: The name of the capture preset appears in the Audio/Video Settings window
in two places: the Capture Preset pop-up menu in the Summary tab, and the list of
presets in the Capture Presets tab.
 Description: This is a brief description, or summary, of what the preset is to be used
for.
 Frame Size: These are the horizontal and vertical pixel dimensions of the video frame
you are capturing. You can choose a frame size from the Aspect Ratio pop-up menu.
To use a different frame size, choose Custom, then enter frame size in the Width and
Height fields.
 Anamorphic: Select this option if you’re capturing anamorphic 16:9 media from a 4:3
video format.
 Capture Card Supports Simultaneous Play Through and Capture: Select this option if
your video interface card can display video on an external video monitor while the
Log and Capture window is open for video capture. This allows you to externally
monitor your video while it is being captured, judging its quality after it has gone
through the capture card. For more information, see the documentation that came
with your card.
