Device controls in the Capture panel
You can use the controls in the Capture panel to operate the device as you log clips. The jog control
lets
you navigate quickly to nearby frames, and the shuttle control lets you change the speed of the tape as you play
it forward or backward. The Record button lets you begin a manual capture.
If you press the Rewind button when the tape is stopped, the device rewinds the tape at full speed. If you rewind
when the tape is playing or paused, the device rewinds while displaying video in the preview.
If you press the Fast Forward button when the tape is stopped, the device moves the tape forward at full speed.
If you fast forward when the tape is playing or paused, the device moves the tape forward while displaying video in the
preview.
If you press the Previous Scene button, the tape shuttles to the previous start point and pauses. If you press the
Next Scene button, the tape shuttles to the start point of the next scene and pauses.
Note: Previous Scene and Next Scene are supported for DV in Windows only, and not supported for HDV for either
Windows or Mac OS.
You can also press the J, K, and L keys to control your device. J rewinds the tape; L fast forwards it, and K pauses it.
The speed of forward or reverse increases each time you press J or L. To rewind or forward one frame at a time, hold
down K and press J or L once. To slowly rewind or forward, hold down K+J or K+L.
To operate Capture panel controls using the keyboard, see the tool tips in the Capture panel. You can change the
shortcuts by choosing Edit > Keyboard Customization. You can also shuttle to a tape location by typing its timecode
into the Capture Panel’s current timecode field, to the lower left of the monitor, and pressing Enter/Return.
