ADOBE PREMIERE PRO CS3 64 User Guide When you want to batch capture a set of logged (offline) clips, select them in the Project panel and choose File > Batch Capture. If you organized offline clips into bins, you can batch capture an entire bin by selecting the bin. Adobe Premiere Pro can capture video in the background so that you can perform other tasks during capture. When you start either a manual capture or batch capturing in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can minimize the Adobe Premiere Pro application or switch to another application without stopping capture. After you restore the Adobe Premiere Pro window, you can click anywhere inside it to halt capture. However, be aware that frames may drop out if you perform a system-intensive task while capturing. The chance of dropped frames is lower on a high-performance system, such as one with dual processors. Note: Batch capturing is not recommended for the first and last 30 seconds of your tape because of possible timecode and seeking issues. Capture these sections manually.

If you set device-control options in the Preferences dialog box to remotely control your camera or deck, you can create offline files by using the clip-logging controls in the Capture panel, and then use the Batch Capture command to capture the logged clips automatically. If you have a list of In and Out points, you can log them manually without a device online; simply enter each shot's In and Out points and click the Log Clip button. You can also log frame numbers using a separate logging or spreadsheet program and then import the spreadsheet into Adobe Premiere Pro as a list of offline files. 1 In the Capture panel, make sure that your device is online, as indicated above the preview. 2 Insert a tape into your device. Adobe Premiere Pro prompts you to name the tape. Be sure not to give any two tapes you log the same name. 3 Use the controls in the Capture panel to move to the first frame in your first shot, and click the Set In button. Then move to the last frame in the shot and click the Set Out button. April 1, 2008
