ABSTRACT
This chapter explain how the user's material can be brought into the application. The process is called capturing and is used to do a file transfer of the digital data on your camera tape to put that binary information that makes up your video and audio and other data onto your computer hard drive. The capture window is divided in two. On the left is a Viewer like the standard FCE Viewer, but this is a viewer for your tape deck or camera. The control buttons— J, K, L, I, and O keys and spacebar—work the same as in the FCE Viewer except that they control their deck or camera through the FireWire cable. The button to the far right of the name will add a bin to the Browser and designate it the capture bin. FCE captures around time code breaks, but it should be avoided if at all possible, because it will still lose audio/video synchronization if it comes across a section of unstable video or a section of tape with no video at all, even if time code is present.
