430 Chapter 20 the process of Digital editing contains all the video and audio clips necessary for editing that particular scene. The bins themselves are then organized in the scene order as they appear in the movie (see Figure 20-12) There are a number of ways you can capture footage (called ingesting for file based for- mats), but the two most common are clip capture and batch capture: 1. Clip capture. As you view your footage one camera take at a time, you decide if this take gets transferred at all, and if it does, determine where you'd like the capture to begin and end. You then fill in the log information (roll number, scene number, take number, and notes) and execute the clip capture. This will give you one media file in your hard drive and one master clip (that references the media file) to place in your bin. Then you move on to the next camera take, and repeat. With this method you watch, log, and capture one take at a time. If you're capturing from tape, you could capture the multiple takes of each scene and split them up later into subclips (see Figure 20-12). Subclips are smaller clips that reference master clips, which in turn reference media files. Be careful, however: if you lose your master clip, then you lose your associated subclips. File-based media doesn't work this way, as it provides a separate file for each take. 2. Batch capture. With this method, you identify and log all of your select clips first, nam- ing shots and entering the in and out timecode numbers for each clip from the DV tape. Then with the "batch capture" command, the editing software takes over and auto- mates the entire capture process. It shuttles to the cue points, captures, and moves on to the next shot on the tape. If there are multiple tapes, the computer will prompt you
