- Open
the clip library containing the unlinked clips for which you want
to recapture media.
- Select
the unlinked clips.
- Click
Tools to display the Tools menu.
- From
the Tools menu, choose Unlink/Relink.
- Click
Recapture.
The Recapture screen appears.
The Recapture screen contains the following
three list areas:
- The
Tape List contains the tape names for the media that you recapture
from a VTR.
- The
Sources List contains the media events.
- The
Imported Clips List contains the file-based media associated with
the unlinked clip. The Source Type label indicates the origin of
the media. All this information is read from the clip metadata.
- Optional:
Change the library reel where you want to place the captured material
by selecting one from the Library Reel box or create one by clicking
in the Library Reel Name field. By default, the captured clips will
be placed in a reel called “Recapture”.
- Optional:
From the Source Resolution box, select the resolution of the device
from which you are capturing material.
If your timeline clip uses sources of differing
resolutions, the resolutions are listed in the Source Resolution
box. This box acts as a filter on the Tape list and Event list.
Only those tapes or events of the currently displayed resolution
are listed.
The tapes containing the material of the specified
resolution are displayed.
- If
the list contains any tapes that you do not want to recapture during
this session, click in the Capture field of the tape and drag to
the left or right.
The value changes from On to Off.
- Set
any options as needed. See
About the Import EDL Menu.
- Optional:
Slip the start timecode of one or more tapes by dragging in the
Start field of a tape in the Tape list.
- Select
the events that you want to recapture.
Do any of the following:
- To
select a single event, click the event number entry. Click the event
number entry of another event to unselect the first entry.
- To
select a range of events, hold Shift,
select an event, and click the last event in the range that you
want to select. You can also click and drag to select a range of
events.
- To
add to a range of events, hold the Ctrl key
or the pen button when you select an event.
- To
select all events, use the Select All or Unselect All buttons.
- To
select only the uncaptured events, click Select Uncaptured.
NoteWhen no event is selected, all events in
the EDL are recaptured.
- To
remove pulldown on capture, enable 2:3 Removal and set options as
needed.
You can remove pulldown on recapture regardless
of whether pulldown was removed when the original material was captured.
See
Capturing Film-Based Media with 2:3 Pulldown Using EDLs.
- Optional:
If you want to generate proxies of the media in the background,
enable Background Proxies.
- Click
Recapture.
The Auto-Capture menu appears.
- Set
menu options as required and capture the material. See
Auto-Capturing an EDL.
NoteIn the Auto-Capture menu, do not change
the aspect ratio, bit depth, or scan mode. The default values in
these fields currently match the metadata in the selected unlinked
clips and they must be matched in order to relink the material with
the unlinked clip after the capture.
- Click
Exit Auto-Capture to return to the Recapture menu.
All captured events have a small x to the right
of the event number.
- View
the captured material in the Recapture Viewer to make sure that
the capture was successful.
- Enable
Auto Render if you want to re-render all timeline soft effects and
transitions.
- Optional:
If the material needs to be soft-resized, enable Soft Resize.
This is useful, for example, when importing
a 720x486 clip into a 720x480 project. See
Resize.
- Click
Relink.
The captured media is relinked with the unlinked
clips. If you enabled Auto Render, timeline soft effects are re-rendered.
- Click
Exit Recapture to return to the clip library.
The relinked clip is located in the reel specified
in the Library Reel box.
