batch capture from old project
Hi there
I am working on a project that will be partly made up of a previously edited program. the original media has been deleted and I want to recapture specific tapes so that i can use the source material AND subsequently edited sequences. The original tapes were digitised from beginning to end so that it ran to the end of timecode. If i highlight this clip in the bin and try to batch capture will it allow me to or will it get to the end then stop and say it can’t do it. (hope that makes sense!)
cheers

It should work, but occasionally, it might go wrong, because a certain TC number gets hit or not.
Another option would be to just capture the entire tapes, and assign them the right tapename. This means you would have to allow the Avid to see tape names from other projects, and then you would need to select the exact right tape that was created in the older project.
After that, the sequences should (re-)link to that footage. Probably best to work with copies. -
thanks-I thought it might be one of those sometimes it works/sometimes it doesn’t cases. the job changed slightly and I only had to capture the sequences in the end but thanks anyway for the reply.
