To capture HDV footage to the Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes 422 codec:

1Click in the Browser to make it active, then choose File > New Bin.

2Control-click the bin, then choose Set Logging Bin from the shortcut menu. Your captured clips will be placed in this bin.

3Name the bin, then press Enter.

4Choose File > Log and Capture (or press Command-8).

A Capture dialog appears instead of the Log and Capture window.

5In the Capture dialog, enter a name for the clip, then click Capture.

The capture preview window appears and the camcorder begins playing back video from its current position. The status area of the capture preview window displays the percentage of real time in which the video is being transcoded from HDV to the target codec.

6Press the Escape key to stop capturing.

The video playback on the camcorder stops immediately. The capture preview window may lag behind, displaying where the video is in the encoding process. As these frames are processed, the status area of the capture preview window displays the percentage of frames left to process.

Note: Pressing the Escape key a second time stops the encoding process and cancels the capture.

After the capture preview window closes, the captured clip appears in your logging bin.

Capturing Footage with Scene Breaks

When you capture HDV footage using the Apple Intermediate Codec or Apple ProRes 422 codec, Final Cut Pro detects any scene or timecode breaks on the tape introduced during shooting. At each scene or timecode break, a new clip is created during capture. When capture is completed, these clips appear in the logging bin, and the corresponding media files are placed on your hard disk.

For example, suppose you begin capturing a clip named Cafe Entrance. When a scene or timecode break is detected, Final Cut Pro stops writing the first media file and begins writing a new file named Cafe Entrance-1. Subsequent breaks create media files and clips named Cafe Entrance-2, Cafe Entrance-3, and so on.

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
