  • Batch digitising a timeline

    I’m familiar with the M100 where one just batch digitises a timeline and the system prompts you to insert the required tape as you go along. Some PPro editors just digitise each clip individually – isn’t there a faster route?

    many thanks

    Create a batch list.

    …but why do you want to digitise something that is already on the timeline. Isn’t it digitised or how else would it be there ?

    You can just log the clips in the capture window. Set the in/out etc and it will create an offline clip when you click log. Alternatly, if you right click in the bin/project area and create a new offline file, it will pop up a window that you can input TC in/out scene/shot/take etc. Just select the offline clips you want to batch capture – right click and select batch capture and blammy, you got it. They also still offer importing/exporting batch lists in several formats under Project>Import (Export) batch list, so you can create it in Excel or Word and import it.

    I have not had a problem, but only used DV.

    Good luck,

    Hi,
    I am batch capturing a 45 min edl from media 100. on edl import prepiere pro creates a time line and offline clips for each cut. it does not know how to capture the timeline but it batch captures all the offline clips and the time line automatically links it.
    thought the following problem are still there
    1. i can take trim handles
    2. It, captures less media for speeded up clips for which i get an edl with a copy of normal speed clips for the fast more clips

    In the Capture window (F5) hit the logging tab and at the very bottom in the capture area it says: Handles: 0 frames. Just change that to the correct amount of frames you want as handles then do the batch capture. I think this is NOT stored as metadata, rather it looks at this number each time you batch capture, so if you change it after logging, it will use the number when you actually do the batch. I have not done it in a while, so you should test this out.
