# Logging and Batch Digitizing

You can log shots and batch digitize them. To do this, you shuttle through the tape, mark in and out points that correspond to the sections you want to digitize, and then add those sections to a list of shots to digitize all at once.

NoteThis operation only logs and captures video.

To batch digitize shots from a video tape:

1. Click Editing, and then click Capture.

   The Capture menu appears.

2. Select a raster for capture. See Selecting a Raster for Capture.
3. In the Video Capture Format list, select the file format that you want to create during the capture operation.
4. In the Naming group, enter values in the Capture and Tape fields. See Capture Menu Options.

5. Set the in and out points. See Setting In and Out Points.
6. In the EDL Log group, click Add to add the selected material to the events list.
