Pro uses the current data in the Setup and Clip Data sections as defaults for subsequent
logged clips, so if you want to log a series of clips into the same bin with similar logging
data, save work by specifying clip data before you start logging the series. When you
click the Log Clip button, a dialog box appears so that you can accept or change the clip
data.
In the Clip Data section, specify a Tape Name, because Adobe Premiere Pro asks for it

every time you begin a batch capture.
The Clip Name in the Clip Data section progresses in increments automatically. For

example, if you want to number a series of clips with the clip name "Car Chase," enter
"Car Chase 01," making sure that the clip name ends with the number. Subsequent
logged clips default to the next number, such as "Car Chase 02."
You can change Capture Window settings at any time. For example, if you see the action

changing as the tape plays back, you can get ready to capture the new upcoming
action by selecting a different bin to log subsequent clips into or by typing in a different
Description or Scene name. You don't have to stop the tape as you change settings.
You can operate the DV device and log clips using the keyboard. See the tool tips for

Capture Window controls, or choose Edit > Keyboard Customization to view or change
the shortcuts.
You must click Log Clip to create a new offline file. This pauses the tape as you confirm

the clip data for the new offline file.
To log clips interactively:
1 Make sure that your DV device is online, then choose File > Capture. You can also open
the Capture window with a keyboard shortcut; the default shortcut is F5.
2 In the Logging tab, enter the settings you want to use as the defaults for Setup
and Clip Data.
3 Play the tape.
4 Click Set In or Set Out at any time, even as the tape plays back.
5 When you are satisfied with the In and Out points, click Log Clip, verify the clip data, and
click OK.
6 Repeat steps 3 and 4 as necessary.

You can make slight timecode adjustments by typing relative timecode using the +
(plus) or – (minus) signs. For example, if you want to add 5 frames to the end of the
Out point, select the entire Out point timecode, type +5, and press Enter.
Batch-capturing tips
When you want to batch-capture a set of logged (offline) clips, simply select them in the
Project window and use the File > Batch Capture command, which is also available when
you right-click selected offline files. If you organized offline clips into bins, you can batch-
capture an entire bin by selecting the bin.
