It’s not too hard, but it will be easiest if you do do this:

1. Open Bin 1, text view, right click in the top bar and select Headings. Make sure Tape Name or Tape ID (I can’t remember exactly what it’s called) is selected to show.

2. Right click on the heading Tape Name/ID and select Sort by Ascending. This will sort based on tape name, so you should have all of Tape 1 first, then Tape 2, then Tape 3. Do this with all of your bins.

3. Make a new bin, call it something like Batch Bin.

4. Select all of your clips from Bin 1 Tape 1, hold Alt and drag the clips to Batch Bin. This will copy your Tape 1 Bin 1 clips to your batch bin, leaving the original master clips in Bin 1. Repeat for the rest of your bins.

5. Select your Batch Bin, Ctrl+A to select all, and hit Batch Capture. Pop in Tape 1, have a coffee break while it does its work. When it’s finished you can delete the Master Clips in Batch Bin (be sure you delete the master clips only, and not the media too). In each individual bin, now, Tape 1 will be online. Repeat with Tape 2, Tape 3, etc…

If you want to batch everything, just Ctrl+A to each bin, Alt+Drag all the clips to your Batch Bin, then Ctrl+A your Batch bin and hit Batch Capture.

This will allow you to keep your original organization in each bin without having to capture each bin seperately. It’s a few extra steps but is really rather fast, especially if you save a custom Bin view called Tape Name where it reveals only the tape name, and maybe timecode as well. Then you can just select your custom view for each bin, it will automatically pull up only the tape IDs, then quickly Alt+Copy, Batch, rinse, repeat. You should be able to set all of this up and be capturing in about 3 minutes or less. You could probably get it going in 60 seconds if you’re fast with a keyboard. Doesn’t get much faster than that.

THANKS TO ALL!!!!

Already the job done :S

But i will keep on mind for the next time to save some extra time!!!

Today 2 coffes!!!!! 😉 (one for the cows!!!!)

I have the headings settings with the ID TAPE, also mark in/out and so on.
I have not thought on dragging with ALT to a new bin, and then digitize from there. I think its a good idea to digitize, and then i only have to delete the master leaving the media.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!
