Summary of capture
settings

Capture pop-up menu: Lets you capture offline clips, online clips, or both. The items

that appear in this pop-up menu differ depending on whether you open the Batch
Capture dialog by clicking the Capture Batch button in the Log and Capture window
or by using the shortcut menu from within the Browser.

When you click the Capture Batch button in the Log and Capture window: You are limited

to capturing clips inside the current logging bin.

When you choose Batch Capture from the shortcut menu within the Browser: You can

capture any items that are selected in the Browser; you are not restricted to capturing
only from the current logging bin.

All Items in Logging Bin/All Selected Items: Captures all clips in the current logging bin

(or all selected items in the Browser), whether or not they’ve already been captured.
If there are only offline clips, this is the only option available. If you’re recapturing
online clips to the same folder on the same scratch disk that the clips’ current media
files are stored in, the clips’ media files will be overwritten with new media files. If
you’re recapturing online clips and the currently selected scratch disk folder is different
from the one the clips’ original media files are in, the original media files are preserved,
and new media files are written to disk. After capture, the clips reference the new
media files.
