capturing without project

[Chris Tompkins]

I use a “work Area” project for such things, or a scratch project.
Create a Capture Proj. if you like.

Load all in.

Then import clips into the corresponding projects. Just a thought.

Hi Robert,

Do you ever use the “Scene Detect” option during capture? This automatically breaks up your clips into individual .avi files at every scene change. Once all your material is captured to the hard drive, you can delete the Premiere Project if you want – the clips will remain on the drive to use as desired later, and you can certainly review and organize them into different folders and such if need be.

You can then create different projects for different subjects and import/use only the clips you want. Note that within a single project, you CAN create multiple Sequences, or Timelines. So within the single project, you can organize clips in the Bin with folders, and work on several different sequences within that Project if you want.

Thanks

Dear Chris and Jeff,

Thanks for the response. I am a bit away from internet nowadays, so replies can be late. What I did as suggested is just capture it in projects, and in the end move the footage to easy sortable folders and
deleting everything else.

As to scene detect, the footage I am capturing was made by amateurs (including myself), so sometimes there is a few minutes unrecorded space between shots and sometimes the rewind-then record goes on top of earlier shots. In the end, I found it easier to just tape-capture and if PP stops because there is empty space, make a new clip name and continue. Sorting I will do once all is on PC and the tapes saved.
