Capturing Video and Importing Media Files
To begin capturing video in Final Cut, choose File > Capture. It’s good to enter
descriptive information about the video you’re capturing so you can easily nd it
later.
Capturing video
Navigate to the spot on the tape you want to capture, and begin playback of your
tape (either via device control in the Capture window or directly on your camera
or VTR) and click the 'Now' button (lower right of the dialog) to begin to
capturing. To stop, press the 'esc' key on the keyboard. Repeat this process for
each clip you need to capture. Media is captured to les using the name you enter
in this window to a folder called “Capture Scratch.” e location of “Capture
Scratch” is determined by your System Settings. Keep in mind if you don’t give
them a name in the Log and Capture window, they will be called “Untitled 1”,
“Untitled 2” etc. Give them a name, this way you know what the media les are
when you look at them on the disk.
Importing Files
If you already have video clips, audio les, graphics, etc., you want to use in your project, you can bring them
into Final Cut by choosing File > Import. Browse to the location of your les and click 'Import.' It’s important
to remember that Final Cut doesn’t make a copy of imported clips, it links to its location on your hard drive.
erefore, it’s a good idea to copy all clips you’re planning to import to a project into your project folder.
The Final Cut Express Interface
e Final Cut user interface contains several application windows. e image above illustrates each area of the
interface, under which we will describe the function of each. If your windows are not arranged as shown, you
can reset the window settings to their default by choosing Window > Arrange > Standard from the menu.
1. Browser
As you capture or import video, audio clips and images, they appear in the Browser as clips. To open a clip in
the Viewer, double-click it.
2. Viewer
is is a window for playing and sizing down clips. Double-click a clip in the Browser or the Timeline to open
Make sure you make a
backup of your Project
File as well as any les
that you don’t capture from tape. In
the event of a hard drive failure, if
you have a good backup, you will be
able to recover your project by
bringing your Project File back from
the backup, along with related les
that were not captured from tape.
Then you can have Final Cut
recapture the video from your
videotapes. Refer to the Final Cut
Express Reference Manual for
details in the event you need to
recapture a project.
