Capture Recorded Video Contents - Batch Capture

Batch capturing allows you to select the scenes (video sequences) you want to capture and then capture them all at once. All you have to do is select the start and finish time of each scene you wish to capture, click start and the program will begin capturing your selected video clips one after another. Batch capturing is efficient and reduce the waiting time when capturing numerous scenes.

To add a new task, just click on the new task button.

The Start Time will be set to the current DV position that is displayed in your Preview Window .If you wish to choose the start time, navigate through the video and click on the Mark In icon when you have found the beginning of the scene you want to capture.

Continue playback of the DV video until you reach the end of your desired scene. Click on the Mark Out icon.
Note: The mark out position has to be at least 5 seconds after the start time.

To delete a task, select the batch you want to delete, and click on the delete task button.
