Batch-Capturing Video - Adobe PREMIERE 5 User Manual

Batch-capturing video

If you have the proper setup for device control and have a videotape recorded with timecode,
you can set up Premiere for automatic, unattended capture of several clips from the same tape.
This is called batch capturing. You log, or create a list of, the segments you want to capture from
the tape. You create this list, called a batch list or timecode log, in the Batch Capture window.
The batch list can be created either by logging clips visually using device control or by entering
In and Out points manually. When the batch list is ready, you click one button to capture the
clips in the list.
