Batch Capture
Select the clips you wish to capture by marque or shift-click. Go to the File
menu and choose Batch Capture or click on the Batch button in the Logging
tab of the Log & Capture window.
Shortcut: ^C (i.e. Control C)
To set handles on the clips, go to the File menu and choose Batch Capture
(^C). Enable the “Add Handles” box to capture additional frames (“handles”)
before and after the In and Out points of a clip.
RT Extreme™ (real time effects)
RT Effects are one of the great features of Final Cut Pro HD™ and your
DeckLink card is fully compatible with Apple’s RT Extreme™. Before Apple had
their own RT Effects, we included some Blackmagic RT Effects and they are
also available if you want to use them. Apple added great RT Effects support
to version 4 of Final Cut Pro™ and so it now makes sense to use Apple’s RT
Extreme™ real time effects.
When you install the Blackmagic DeckLink driver software, the “effect handling”
in Final Cut Pro HD™ will default to the “Blackmagic”. To use Apple’s RT
Extreme effects, we recommend you switch this setting from Blackmagic to
Final Cut Pro HD™. To do so, go to the Final Cut Pro HD™ menu, choose
System Settings and click on the Effect Handling tab. Change the settings, for
Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 and Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2, from Blackmagic to
Final Cut Pro HD™.
If you are working in high denition, you will not nd a “Final Cut Pro HD™”
setting so you need to change the settings for Blackmagic 8 Bit (2Vuy) from
“Blackmagic” to “Blackmagic HD”. This is because Apple do not yet have their
own codec for 8-bit HD so we supply our own. Apple will probably address
this in a future update and we expect Blackmagic Design will adopt the Apple
codec at that time.
Recording to Tape
Once you have captured your clips, edited them and applied any effects, you
will want to record the completed project to tape. One easy method is to go to
the File menu and choose Print to Video. If you want to perform precise insert
and assemble edits onto a timecode striped tape, go to the File menu and
choose Edit to Tape.
