CHAPTER 2: CAPTURING ■
One sure way to organize is by tape and then by subject. When you capture
media, put the clips from each tape into individual bins (i.e., all the clips from Tape 1
go into a bin together). Later, organize them by subject. For example, if Tape 1 has an
interview and some B-roll footage, make copies of the clips (you can do this by Alt/Opt
click and drag) and drag them into subject bins (such as Interview and B-roll.) Usually
your director will want to see either the clips from the tape (which you can cut together
into one long sequence) or a particular subject, which can also be strung together
quickly.
Setting Up Your Target Bin
In the next area of the Capture tool, you tell the program where your output is going
and what characteristics it should have.
Choosing the Target Bin
Any bin that is open can be selected as the target bin for captured clips. If you want to
capture to a bin that is not open, simply open it (double-click the name on the Bin tab
of the Project window), and it will appear in the list of open bins in the Target Bin
pop-up menu on the Capture tool.
Selecting Media Resolution
With Free DV, your only choice for Media Resolution is DV-25, described as follows.
Xpress Pro has up to four different media resolutions:
1:1 (Uncompressed) Resolution This is available only with the optional Mojo. You can
capture 1:1 uncompressed resolution using various methods: Composite video, S-Video
(Y/C), or Component, with the optional component cable.
The optional component cable uses the signal paths from S-Video and Composite
inputs for the three required separate signals for R–Y, B–Y, and Y components. As a
result, you can input a far superior picture through the Mojo and gain uncompressed
resolution.
So which method of capture should you use? Start with Component. If the deck
doesn’t offer Component output (or if you don’t own the optional component cable),
try S-Video (Y/C). If the deck doesn’t have that kind of output, you’re stuck with
Composite.
DV-25 (4:1:1) or DV-25 4:2:0 (PAL Only) This compression uses standard DV codecs.
DV video is compressed 5:1 in its native form. No additional compression is added
when coming from a DV-25 source directly through FireWire. You can also use DV-25
as a compression scheme on any input source, including sources that originate as ana-
log signals coming in through Mojo or a transcoder.
