100 Chapter 5 Capturing Source Clips and Connecting Them to the Database
To generate a batch capture list from Cinema Tools and import it into
Final Cut Pro:
1 Make sure that the List View window displays the database records of the clips you
want to capture.
To display all of the records in the database, click Find All in the Find dialog. See
“
Finding and Opening Database Records ” on page 91 for details.
Important: The batch capture list will only include database records that have a video
reel, timecode start, and timecode duration. Also, any database records that are already
connected to a clip do not appear in the batch capture list.
2 Choose File > Export > Batch Capture.
3 In the Export dialog, choose what you want to capture, then click OK:
 Final Cut Pro Video: Choose this option to capture all video and audio contained in
the source clips. When you choose this option, the batch log includes the video reel
and video timecode entered in this clip’s database record.
 Final Cut Pro Audio: Choose this option to capture only the audio from the source
clips. When you choose this option, the batch log includes the sound roll and sound
timecode entered in this clip’s database record.
4 In the dialog that appears, select a location and enter a name for the batch capture list.
∏
Tip: You can edit the batch capture list in a text editor. However, make sure that you do
not delete or overwrite the Tab characters that separate the fields in each line. You can
delete lines for clips you don’t want to capture.
5 In Final Cut Pro, choose File > Import > Batch List.
6 In the Final Cut Pro Batch List dialog, select the batch capture list you exported from
Cinema Tools, then click Open.
The clips appear in the Browser as offline clips, ready to be batch captured. See the
Final Cut Pro documentation for details on batch capturing
Important: If your video is non-drop frame timecode, make sure that Non-Drop Frame
is chosen from the Default Timecode pop-up menu in the Final Cut Pro Device Control
Presets tab before you begin capturing.
In the List View window,
display the database
records that you want to
connect clips to.
