CHAPTER 2: CAPTURING ■

so, the functionality of Avid systems extends across a very wide range of users. As a

result, the “keep or discard” message stayed. And besides, if you’re capturing at two in

the morning, chances are good that you will accidentally click the mouse in the wrong

place from time to time.

The Capture/Log Mode Button (Xpress Only)

Directly to the right of our Trash Can button is the Capture/Log button . When the

button reads “Cap,” we are in Capture mode; when the button reads “Log,” we are in

Logging mode .

When you switch to Logging mode, the Capture tool changes somewhat—it shrinks

n height by a little, and the drive assignment indicators disappear. No more Capture

button, flashing record light, or Trash Can. The system has switched from Capture

mode to Logging mode. This is also indicated by a pencil icon in the Record button.

These changes occur because when logging, there is no need to assign a media

drive, because no media are being captured. When we log from video tapes, we are

only “writing” information about the clip, its timecode and tape name. When you log

a tape, you’re only creating clips.

The Logging Buttons (Xpress Only)

When you click the Capture/Log button, your capture interface changes (see Figure 2.18).

The red Capture button is replaced by a button with a strange, cryptic icon: the Mark

In button . If you’re new to Avid systems, it might seem a little odd-looking. The

Mark Out button shows the reverse of this icon. The way I remember these icons is

that Mark In faces Mark Out; thus, the clip itself could be said to be between them.

Another way to remember is that they resemble the shape of two faces looking at each

other. Pretend that the clip is between them; thus, the Mark In button faces the begin-

ning of the clip, and the Mark Out button faces the end of the clip. Too metaphysical

for you? Okay, let’s move on.

When you play back a tape, you can click the Mark In button to mark an in

point on the fly as the tape is running. After this button is pressed, an in point appears

in the register down below, and the icon on the button changes to a Mark Out button

with a pencil next to it . Clicking the button again marks an out point on the fly

and logs the clip. When this is done, the clip appears in a bin. We’ll discuss bins a little

later.

Note: Sorry,users can’t change this behavior to suppress the warning.
