226 EDIUS — User Reference Guide
Section 3 — Capturing and Importing Clips and Stills
Note “At each Cell” divides the files into small units which may result in MPEG files
that are incompatible with the MPEG standard and cannot be played back
when imported into the stream.
Capturing from Devices Not Controlled by Deck Settings
Some external playback devices cannot be controlled (started, stopped, etc)
from EDIUS. Deck Settings (see
Deck Settings on page 142 for more informa-
tion) do not apply to these devices and all source control operations must
be performed manually on the device.
To capture clips from a device not controlled by deck settings, do the fol-
lowing:
1. On the external device, go to the point in the source at which you wish
to begin capturing and stop or pause the device.
2. Select Capture>Input Settings in the Preview window.
The Input Settings dialog appears (see Figure 182 on page 209.)
3. Select the external input device name and input format.
4. Click the OK button.
5. Click the Capture button in the Player. See Figure 207.
Note Pressing [F9] on the keyboard will also initiate the capture process.
