Note:
These settings are preserved for the project, but you can set them again for each new project.
4. In the Setup area of the Logging pane, choose your media type from the Capture menu.
5. Use the controls on the deck or camcorder to move the videotape to a point several seconds before the frame where you want to begin
capturing.
6. Press the Play button on the deck or camcorder, and then click the red Record button in the Capture panel.
7. Record a few seconds beyond the end of the footage you need, to provide room for editing. Press the Esc key to stop recording.
When the Save Captured File dialog box appears, enter logging data and click OK. The new file is listed in the Project panel and is saved to
the disk location specified in the Settings pane of the Capture panel.
Capture with device control
After a device and the project are set up properly, you can begin capturing clips using device control. You can capture an entire tape or you can
mark In and Out points for each clip, and then capture the clip. You can log In and Out points for any number of clips and have Premiere Pro
capture as many as you like in a batch. Premiere Pro supports FireWire device control, but supports serial device control by third-party drivers
only.
On Mac OS, preview HDV footage on an external TV monitor, or, if the source is a camcorder, on the camcorder viewfinder while shuttling,
logging, and capturing. The preview pane in the Capture panel shows the words Previewing On Camera.
When capturing with In and Out points, the earliest allowable time for the In point is 2 seconds. If the provided In point is earlier, it will be
automatically adjusted to start at 2 seconds.

Capture an entire tape or portion of a tape
1. Choose File > Capture.
2. (Mac OS) If a QuickTime Capture Settings dialog box opens, choose video and audio settings appropriate to your project.
These settings are preserved for the project, but you set them again for each new project.
3. In the Capture panel, make sure that the device is online, as indicated above the preview.
4. Insert a tape into the device. Premiere Pro prompts you to name the tape. Be sure not to give any two tapes the same name.
Including a unique number in the name can help you avoid using the same name twice.
5. In the Setup area of the Logging pane, choose the media type from the Capture menu.
6. Rewind the tape to its beginning, or to the beginning of the portion you want to capture.
7. To create a separate file (Windows) or a subclip (Mac OS) for each new scene on the tape, select Scene Detect in the Capture area.
