  • how to re-capture media?

    Posted by Zeliha Bozkurt on November 30, 2005 at 2:10 pm

    Hi Everyone

    I have imported an OMF file From Avid into Final Cut Pro 5.0.2.

    I need to re-capture the sequence at 1;1 resolution. What is the best way to re-capture? Do I need to use the media manager? If so which options do I need to select.

    I highlighted the timeline of my sequence then right click, batch capture but it seems to be capturing the whole media i.e the whole tape instead of just the clip..

    What am I doing wrong?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Zee 🙂

    I think you mean EDL… I don’t think an OMF will open in FCP.

    There have been extensive posts about how to do this somewhat complicated process. You could do a search, or check out Ken Stone’s website.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/offline_rt.html

    This is the page that describes part of what you will have to do. You are going to have to “Make sequence clips independant” before you capture, I know that much. That may acutally do the trick, since you don’t already have any media captured yet. Right-click on the sequence and choose “Make clips independant” then try to do a batch capture.

    Let me know if that works. Good luck!
