USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 97 Importing, transferring, capturing, and digitizing Import and export batch lists You can import batch lists in a variety of file formats: tab-delimited text (TXT), comma-separated value (CSV), TAB, and PBL. When imported, each entry in the text batch list appears as an offline clip in the Project panel. You can also export offline clips as a CSV batch list so that you can transfer a logged clip list between projects and workstations. To see the format of a batch list, export it and open the file in a text editor such as Notepad or in a spreadsheet application. A batch list text file may come from sources such as Adobe Premiere 6.5, logging utilities such as Pipeline Autolog, or custom video-production software that uses a database or spreadsheet program to generate a batch list. When you import a batch list, the order of fields in the list must be as follows: tape name, In point, Out point, clip name, and comment. When you export offline clips as a batch list, Premiere Pro orders the fields as follows: tape name, In point, Out point, clip name, log note, description, scene, and shot/take. Exported field data is exported from the corresponding columns in the List view of the Project panel. • To import a batch-list timecode log, open a project and choose Project > Import Batch List. Locate and select the file, and click Open. • To export a batch-list timecode log, select the files that you want to log. Then choose Project > Export Batch List. Specify a filename and location, and click Save. Recapture clips You can recapture clips in an existing project using batch capturing. Clips can be recaptured only if they have been unlinked from their source files, becoming offline clips; if they have names in their Tape Name fields; and if their source medium contains timecode. 1 If you want to override the capture settings for any clip that you intend to recapture, set the clip's Capture settings. 2 In the Project panel, select all the clips you want to recapture. If you want to select clips in different bins, use List view, which lets you view multiple bins. 3 Choose Project > Make Offline. The selected clips are dissociated from their current source files. 4 In the Make Offline dialog box, specify whether the source media files are to remain on disk or be deleted. 5 With the offline clips still selected, choose File > Batch Capture. Adjust the settings as necessary. 6 Verify that the deck and source videotape are set up properly for capture, and then click OK. 7 After recapturing is complete, save the project. In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, you can recapture offline merged clips. The merged clip will not become an online clip until all the component clips are captured.
