Preparing and Importing Source Clips
Capturing video from a batch list
When you finish building the batch list, you are ready to capture the video. When capturing
a batch list, Premiere applies the current settings for recording, compression, video input, and
audio input unless you attached a specific capture settings file to one or more entries. See the
previous section, “Specifying batch list settings.”
To begin capturing video:
In a Batch Capture window, do one of the following:
• To capture one or more clips directly from the Batch Capture window, first make sure each
clip you want to capture is marked with a diamond ( ) in the check mark column at the far
left of the Batch Capture window; if necessary, click the check mark column for an entry to turn
on the diamond icon. Click Capture.
• To capture a single batch list entry in the Movie Capture window, select the entry and choose
Batch Capture > Send In/Out to Movie Capture, and click Capture.
After the batch capture is complete, captured clips appear in a Library window. For more
information, see “Storing clips and bins in libraries” on page 78.
Creating a batch list to redigitize project clips
You can redigitize the clips in an existing project using batch capture, and the clips can be
logged automatically according to the In and Out points you used in the Timeline. This is
helpful when you originally used low-resolution clips for faster editing and are ready to
digitize the clips again at high resolution for the final version. By recapturing only the essential
segments from the original source reels, you keep file sizes to a minimum. The following
procedure does not replace the clips in the current project, but creates a new project.
Note: If you know you will be redigitizing clips, be sure to capture the original clips with timecode
using device control. This ensures that the clips will have reel names and valid timecode. Premiere
cannot use a batch list to digitize clips if no timecode is specified in the batch list or if timecode is
not available from the source videotape.
