7 Insert the selected reel into your camcorder or VTR.
You’ll need to make sure that your equipment is properly connected and turned on. For
more information, see “

8 Final Cut Pro captures all of the clips on that reel and then prompts you to select
another, until all the clips in the batch have been captured.
Stopping and Restarting the Batch Capture Process
Sometimes you need to stop a batch capture because you realize you are using the
wrong capture preset or scratch disk, or you selected the wrong clips for capture.
To stop a batch capture at any time, do one of the following:
m Press Esc.
m Press and release the mouse button.
All clips that weren’t captured are labeled “Aborted” in the Capture column in the
Browser.
To restart the batch capture process:
1 Choose File > Batch Capture.
2 Follow steps 3–6 in the section “ Batch Capturing Selected Clips ” on page 266.
Make sure you choose Aborted Clips from the Capture pop-up menu in the Batch
Capture dialog.
Warning: If you’re capturing clips that have been captured once already, you can’t
recapture them at a frame rate that differs from the frame rate at which they were
originally captured. For example, if you capture a clip at 25 frames per second (fps),
delete the clip’s media file to make it an offline clip, and then recapture it, you must
recapture the clip at 25 fps.
