Selecting Which Tracks to Capture
For each clip you log, you need to specify which video and audio tracks are captured to
the clip’s media file. For example, a typical DV videotape has one video track and two
audio tracks. You can choose to capture video only, audio only, or both video and
audio. You can also choose how many audio tracks to capture, and how they are
grouped together (mono or stereo).
To select which tracks on tape are captured:
1
In the Log and Capture window, click the Clip Settings tab.
2
To capture video, enable the Video checkbox.
3
To capture audio, enable the Audio checkbox.
Multichannel Audio Capture Track Selection
Final Cut Pro can capture up to 24 audio tracks from a video or audio interface. Each
input on your audio interface is shown in a list in the Clip Settings tab. You can select up
to 24 inputs for simultaneous capture. You can also group adjacent channels together as
a stereo pair, or leave them as mono channels. For more information about capturing
multiple audio channels, see “
