ABSTRACT

Capturing is bringing in material from tape and ingesting is bringing in material from a camera card or DVD camera disc. Either method is essentially a file transfer of the digital data on the camera tape or media to put that binary information that makes up the video and audio and other data onto the computer hard drive. The size of the Capture window is determined by the size of the Canvas. Capture Nowis the simplest method, but it gives the least control. It also requires that the material be properly shot, preferably without timecode breaks. In addition to capturing and ingesting material, one can also import material into Final Cut Express (FCE). QuickTime movies should be converted outside of FCE into the format one is working with in the application. FCE can work with audio compact disk files, but they do raise some problems. Audio compact disks use an audio sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
