Auto Render A feature that allows Final Cut Express HD to render open sequences
whenever a specified number of idle minutes has passed.
batch capture A process in which information stored in clips is used to control the
deck or camcorder to automatically capture, or digitize, the video or audio material that
corresponds to each clip.
bin A folder inside of the Browser that can contain clips, transitions, effects, and
generators. You use bins to organize these elements, sort them, add comments,
rename items, and so on.
capture To move NTSC or PAL video or audio from tape to a digital format for use by
Final Cut Express HD. Also called digitizing video. Captured video clips appear on the
specified scratch disk as a series of QuickTime movie files.
capture rate Used to describe the number of times per second that a picture is taken or
captured in an imaging system. In a progressive system, the capture rate is equal to the
frame rate. In an interlaced system, the capture rate is double the frame rate because at
each capture interval, only one field (a half resolution image) is acquired. It takes two
fields to make a complete frame. It is standard practice to refer to the capture rate of an
image as well as how it is captured when describing it instead of the frame rate.
Examples include: 60i (60 captures, 30 frames per second), 30P (30 captures, 30 frames
per second), and 60P (60 captures, 60 frames per second). See also interlaced video.
Capture window The window used to enter information about clips from source tapes,
and to capture clips so you can edit them.
clip A media file containing video, audio, graphics, or any other content imported into
Final Cut Express HD.
editing The process of combining and arranging audio, video, effects, transitions, and
graphics in a sequence to produce a program.
