Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the entries in your timecode log.
You can view more than one open Batch Capture window simultaneously. Just choose
File > Capture > Batch Capture to open a new Batch Capture window, or choose File >
Open to open an existing batch list. This may be useful if you are comparing different versions
of a video program.
Saving, exporting, and importing batch lists
You can save a batch list to disk. In addition, you can export and import a batch list as a text
file. Saving a batch list and exporting it creates two very different files:
•
Saving
a batch list preserves each entry and its capture settings (described in the next section)
in a file format that only Premiere can read.
•
Exporting
a batch list creates a tab-delimited ASCII text file that lists each entry but does not
retain the capture settings. However, the text file is useful for moving entries between batch
lists. For example, you can add entries from one batch list to another by exporting out of one
and importing into another. You may also want to export a batch list as a text file to edit it in
text editing programs or in video-editing systems that can read text batch lists. You can control
the order of the columns in the text file.
To save a batch list:
1 Activate the Batch Capture window you want to save.
2 Choose File > Save As. Specify a location and filename, and click Save.
To export a batch list as a timecode-log text file:
1 Activate the Batch Capture window you want to export.
2 Choose Batch Capture > Import/Export Settings.
3 Drag each column to rearrange them if desired, and click OK.
4 Choose Batch Capture > Export to Text File. Specify a location and filename, and click Save.
