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.
8. You can capture frames that extend beyond the In and Out points of each clip. Enter the number of frames in the Handles box in the Capture
area.
9. Click Tape.
10. To stop capturing at the end of a portion, click the Stop button. Otherwise capturing stops when the tape comes to its end.
Select and capture a clip
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 will be preserved for the project, but you may need to 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.
5. In the Setup area of the Logging pane, choose the media type from the Capture menu.
6. Use the controls in the Capture panel to move to the first frame you want to capture, and click Set In. Then move to the last frame you want
to capture, and click Set Out.
Note: If capturing HDV footage on Mac OS, you must preview on an external TV monitor or camcorder viewfinder while logging. The
preview pane in the Capture panel will show the words Previewing On Camera.
7. If you want to capture frames that extend beyond the In and Out points of each clip, enter the number of frames in the Handles setting of the
Capture section.
8. Click the In/Out button in the Capture area of the Logging pane to capture the clip.

4. In the Device Control area of the Settings tab, click Options.
5. In the DV/HDV Device Control Settings dialog box, click Check Status.
Log clips with automatic scene detection
Scene Detect can greatly speed up the process of logging clips. As you capture video, Scene Detect logs a clip wherever there is a break in a
tape Time/Date stamp. With Scene Detect, Premiere Pro automatically captures a separate file (Windows) or creates a master clip with a subclip
(Mac OS) at each scene break. On Mac OS, Premiere Pro places the subclips in a new bin. Scene Detect works whether you capture an entire
tape or just a section between specific In and Out points. Scene Detect creates clips even between defined In and Out points, if it detects a scene
break.
Scene Detect logs scenes for batch capturing without altering the tape’s progress. It also logs scenes that occur across timecode breaks.
Tracy Peterson provides a video tutorial that demonstrates automatic scene detection on the Adobe website .
In the Capture panel, do either of the following:
Click the Scene Detect button below the image.
Select Scene Detect in the Capture area of the Logging pane.
Note: Scene detection works for DV, HDV 1080i, and HDV 720p footage.
