Last modified: Friday, January 05, 2007
A feature in editing programs that allows the system to capture lists or batches of clips from source videotapes.
Batch Capture FAQ Unlike manual capture, where you just play your tape and press Start Capture when you get to a point you want to start capturing, batch capture is a much more controlled process. You can type in the start and end timecode values numerically and control precisely what is captured. You might do this if you have logged your tape and decided which clips to capture offline, perhaps by viewing a VHS copy with burnt in timecode, and don't want to capture everything off the tape.
