Chapter 2 Bringing Media into Your System
Capture Now: Â 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.
Batch capturing:
 After you log a series of clips from your media, Final Cut Pro can
search through your tape and capture the media les to your computer hard disk
one by one. Batch capturing clips like this is an ecient alternative to logging and
capturing clips individually.
Next, you’ll explore using the Viewer to discover more of its features.
