When capturing a newly logged ofﬂine clip with handles, the In and Out points will be set

to the original logged duration. When capturing without handles, the In and Out points

will be cleared.

6 Choose a capture preset from the Capture Settings pop-up menu. For more information, see

Chapter 4, “Preferences and Presets,” on page 95.

Note: The Total Media Time and Disk Space calculations that are displayed at the bottom of

the dialog box are based on the data rate settings speciﬁed in the current Capture

preferences. For more information about preferences, see Chapter 4, “Preferences and

Presets,” on page 95.

7 Click OK.

m To stop batch capture, press the Esc key.

If you stop a batch capture, Final Cut Pro displays “error” next to all clips that were not

captured in the Digitize column of the Browser. You can use the Batch Capture command

to automatically redigitize all aborted clips.

Changing Duplicate Clip Names and Filenames

When you log ofﬂine clips, it is possible to create two or more clips with the same name.

When you batch capture both clips, one of them must be given a new name, since all clips in

the same folder must have unique ﬁlenames when they are captured.

If you set up a batch capture that includes two clips of the same name, a dialog box appears

to allow you to change the name of one of the clips.

If a clip that is to be captured already exists on disk, a dialog box appears to give you the

option of renaming or skipping the new clip, or replacing the old clip with the new one.

Importing a Batch List

You can import a log that you’ve created with another application to use for batch capture in

Final Cut Pro. For example, you can log clips with a ﬁeld log during production and then

export the log to another application. Use your logging application to save the log as a tab-

delimited text ﬁle. The ﬁrst record should have ﬁeld headers that match at least the following

column headers in the Browser:

m Name

m Duration

m In

m Out
