Program windows in Final Cut Pro can be shown or hidden using the

'Window' menu. In addition, you can move and resize them as you wish.

Capturing Video and Importing Media Files

To begin capturing video in Final Cut Express, choose File > Log and

Capture from the menu. e Log and Capture dialog appears. Speciﬁc

capture settings can be set using the Capture Settings and Clip Settings

tabs, while the Logging provides spaces for entering info about a

particular clip.

Why would you want to edit any of this info? Well, if you’re capturing video directly from a MiniDV tape

via a FireWire cable connected to one of the standard 4:3 aspect ratio Studio Foundation digital cameras,

then you'll want to make sure your Capture Settings read:

•

Device Control: 'FireWire NTSC'

•

Capture/Input: 'DV NTSC 48 kHz'

Otherwise, if you are connected to one of the wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratio Studio Foundation digital

cameras, then you'll want to make sure your Capture Settings read:

•

Device Control: 'FireWire NTSC'

•

Capture/Input: 'DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic”

Clip Settings can be used to specify whether to capture both audio and video, or either one by itself. In

addition, there are several formats for capturing audio. Most editors choose 'Ch. 1 + Ch. 2' so that each side

of the stereo ﬁeld is recorded to a discrete channel.

Capturing video

Begin playback of your tape (either via device control in the Log

and Capture dialog 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 ﬁles 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”

Make sure you make a backup of your

Project File as well as any ﬁles 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 ﬁles that were not captured from tape.

Then you can have Final Cut Express recapture the

video from your videotapes. Refer to the FInal Cut

Express Reference Manual for details in event you

need to recapture a project).



IMPORTANT: Depending on which

tool you select in the Tool Palette,

Final Cut will behave diﬀerently. This is

what’s called a modal interface. It does

diﬀerent things depending on what mode

you are in. If Final Cut is ever not doing

something you expect, or doing something

you don’t expect, check to see what tool is

selected in the Tool Palette. You can always

“reset” back to the Arrow Tool by clicking on

the Arrow Tool in the Tool Palette or by

using the short cut ‘a’ (for arrow).
