214 VIDEO CAPTURE
5. In the Capture Method group box, select the appropriate method for
capturing. Auto captures video according to the time specified in the Auto spin
box while Auto (no time limit) continues capturing until you press the [ESC]
key. If you want to capture at fixed intervals, select the Manual option.
If you select the Manual option, you can define aspects of the capture by
clicking the Settings button. This opens the Capture Sequence Settings dialog
box where you can specify the interval between captures as well as the desired
length of video to capture.
6. Enter the file name to use for saving the first capture file in the Capture file
name entry box.
7. Select the Auto naming option to save the next captures as consecutively
numbered files. Each capture file takes its file name from the Capture file
name entry box, replacing the last four characters with sequential numbers.
For example, since the default file name is "capture", the suceeding capture
files will be saved as, capt0001, capt0002, and so on.
8. Select the Save to Production Library option to save your captures to the
Production Library's Media Library.
The Production Library is shared between Video Editor and Video Capture.
In Video Editor, you can access your captured video files from the
Production Library's Media Library.
9. Click the Advanced tab to see more settings and customize them according to
your needs.
10.If you want to retain your settings for the next capture, click Apply to save
them.
11.Click OK. Video Capture begins capturing according to your settings.
• When you click OK to start capturing, there may be a slight delay before any
capture takes place. This is because many machines first clear all available
memory. For best results, start your capture a few seconds before the video
you want to record appears in the video window.
• If you are in Preview mode when capturing the displayed video, the video
may freeze. If this happens, click Capture: Display When Capturing. This
allows the video to continue displaying while capturing. (This may, however,
adversely affect the performance of your capture as it requires additional
resources and as such frames may be dropped.)
