equals in minutes. The amount of space is the sum total available on the
scratch disk or disks you set earlier.
You can therefore determine whether you have room on your hard drives to
capture the material required for your project.
Capture Clip
If you wish to capture a single clip at a time this is easily achieved using the
Capture Clip method. When using this method you need to first mark the 'in'
and 'out' points for the clip you wish to capture.
1
Put a tape into your deck or camera and make sure it is switched on. If
you are using a camera make sure it is in VTR mode.
2
Open the Capture window which is accessed through the File menu.
Alternatively, press the Apple key and the number 8 and this will
achieve the same result (the Apple key is located immediately left of
the Space Bar).
3
Press the Space Bar and your deck or camera will spring to life. If it
doesn't, press play on your deck/camera to engage the heads. From
this point on remote control of your Firewire device will work direct
from the keyboard.
Once the tape is playing at speed, the result of having pressed the Space
Bar, you can then spool through the tape using the J K L method. As
mentioned earlier, pressing the letter J will run the tape backwards, K is for
stop (or use the Space Bar to start/stop the tape) and the letter L is to run
the tape forwards. By pressing the letters J and L multiple times affects
the replay speed incrementally. If you press the letter J once the tape will
spool backwards at normal speed, press it again and the tape will continue
backwards, however, slightly faster. Press it again and the speed will increase
