hdv to proress
Because I want to work with color and because I’ve herd so many good things about proress I’ve decided to give it a go.
I’m using a late 08 Mac book pro and a sony z1 HDV camera and I’m capturing to a g tech 1TB drive.
I’m used to working with the log and capture window how do I capture the bits I want?.
Am I best to capture all the footage as in the whole tape?
If I’ve captured the whole tape and don’t need all the footage how do I mage what I want and don’t want? In the tutorials I’ve looked at it mentions using file to match clip what is this? -

Stewart,
This shows you how, only note that the last step of renaming clips is more streamlined and you do it from the browser.

Not sure if your drive is fast enough, but give it a go.
Yes, capture the whole tape, FCP will start a new clip for each time the camera was turned on. Then you simply open each clip in the viewer from the browser, and if you want to keep the clip, type in a new name in the browser. I open the capture scratch folder so I can toss clips I don’t want. then delete the clip reference in the browser. When you are done re-naming, select all the clips in the browser and right click rename, file to match clip, and you will see that all your WT clips are changed.
Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for replying.
I’ve seen the article you put the link for and that’s what I followed. Iv never used media manager before but aren’t I meant to use that to delete what I don’t want?.
Sorry for the questions I still do it the old fashioned way of batch capturing.
If the takes are long takes and I make sub clips can I just keep those clips?Thanks again for your advice.

You don’t need the Media Manager for this. All done in the Browser. BTW ProRes capture is a capture now function, not a batch process.
Have a wonderful day.
