Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 291)

6 You are prompted with a list of all the reels needed for capture. Select a reel in the list,
then click Continue.
7 Insert the selected reel into your camcorder or VTR.
You need to make sure that your equipment is properly connected and turned on. For
more information, see
“Connecting Your Camcorder” or “Connecting Professional Video
Devices.”
8 Final Cut Pro captures all of the clips on that reel and then prompts you to select another,
until all the clips in the batch have been captured.
Warning: If you’re capturing clips that have been captured once already, you can’t
recapture them at a frame rate that differs from the frame rate at which they were originally
captured. For example, if you capture a clip at 25 frames per second (fps), delete the clip’s
media file to make it an offline clip, and then recapture it, you must recapture the clip at
25 fps.
