Apple 7 manual Bringing Media into Your System

ÂÂ Capture Now: The Capture Now process begins the automatic capture of your tape-based footage at any point on a tape and continues capturing until the end of the tape or until you stop the capture by pressing the Esc (Escape) key. The captured footage is stored as one clip. You can then use Final Cut Pro commands and editing features to break the clip into smaller subclips. Capture Now allows you to skip the process of previewing and logging many individual clips.

ÂÂ Batch capturing: After you log a series of clips from your media, Final Cut Pro can search through your tape and capture the media files to your computer hard disk one by one. Batch capturing clips like this is an efficient alternative to logging and capturing clips individually.

Next, you’ll explore using the Viewer to discover more of its features.
