Choose one of the following options:
 Add: Click this so Final Cut Pro automatically adds additional clips outside the
selection to your current batch capture. After capture, those clips reference the new
media files.
 Continue: Click this to ignore the additional clips in other open projects (and thus
not reconnect them to the newly captured media files). The clips Final Cut Pro found
are ignored and the batch capture is restricted to the clips you originally selected.
 Abort: Final Cut Pro stops the batch capture process.
For example, suppose you have a bin containing one sequence and twenty offline clips.
If you used some of the Browser clips in your sequence, the sequence clips refer to the
same media files as the corresponding Browser clips. If you select the sequence and
choose File > Batch Capture, the Additional Items Found dialog appears because some
of the Browser clips refer to the same media files as clips in the sequence.
If you click Add, the Browser clips that refer to the same media files as sequence clips
are added to the selected items before batch capturing starts. Each media file is
captured only once, but both Browser and sequence clips will be reconnected to the
new media files after the batch capture is complete. If you don’t click Add, only the
sequence clips are connected to the new media files, and the Browser clips remain
offline (unconnected to the new media files).
Capturing Clips as You Log (Capture Clip)
For more precise control over the capturing process, some editors prefer to capture
each clip as soon as they’ve logged it. You can use the Capture Clip button in the Log
and Capture window to capture the currently logged clip.
The Capture Clip option is useful in the following situations:
 For tapes with lots of timecode breaks or video/audio settings that need individual
level adjustment per clip, the Capture Clip option gives you more control over each
clip’s settings.
 If you only have a few clips spread across several tapes, it may be faster to log and
capture each clip as you go instead of logging each tape and then batch capturing.
 As an alternative to the Capture Now option, you can set In and Out points near the
beginning and end of each tape and then capture the entire duration of the tape.
Note: The only difference between the Capture Clip and Log Clip buttons is that Log
Clip only creates a clip in your project, while Capture Clip creates a clip and also
captures its media file.
