Create New Bins at Time Of Advance Batch Capture Creation?

Grazie wrote on 6/3/2003, 5:12 AM
Can this be done? More specifically, I want to be able to Preivew footage while using Advance Capture, and then see a clip that I want to be placed in a Bin that I have not yet created - "Oh, here's a piece I didn't make a bin for!" type of thing . . .

Apologies for a novice request if this has been covered before - CAVEATS here are:

1 - I've looked on the Online Help

2 - I've read "Bin" stuff in manual

3 - I've done searches on Bins on "Vegas" and "Vegas Scripting" fora

4 - I haven't looked on our other Vegas fora yet.

Best regards

Grazie

Grazie, you beat me to it! I was just going to ask the same question.

Also, is there any way to export clip bins and the "comments" field from Video Capture to the Vegas Media pool? It seems dumb to have to re-create these things twice.

Nah! - Didn't beat you - we we're thinking about it at the same time.

Look, we can write Comments in one of the lines in AdvCaP. Surely this is the one that goes with the "Comment" in the actual Clip in the Bin? - I have been thinking over tha last hour that as a shoort term fix, would be to add these comments to the pice I'd Ad Cap and then I could "sort" these while in AdvCap and "drag" them to the respective comment:

1 - 14 clips of cutaways named "Cutaways" iin the Comment field

2 - 10 clips of songs by a band called: Song1, Song2, Song3 etc etc

3 - Batch Capture to the All MEdia Bin

4 - Sort the All MEdia clips by the Comment Field

5 - Drag and Drop "Cutaways" to a newly created "Cutaways" bin

6 - Drag "Songs" to a newly created "Songs" Bin

Best I can do - maybe this is what people do now anyway.

WHy these examples? - Last night did a PubMuso thingy. Lots of Songs and I did a lot of Cutaways. Need to be sorted out. Wanted to do this in the Review of the 3x60 minutes tapes. Once is enough! I domn't wanna do this as well in T/L.

Waddya fink?

If I'm reading this right, all is possible.

1) During capture or logging, the clip info will get saved to the active (open) bin in vidcap. This is of course in addition to the all media bin.

2) If you right click on a bin (folder icon) in the vidcap clip database, you can select "Add to media pool"- this will send the bin to Vegas (creates a new bin)

3) Vidcap comment (and other fields) can be viewed in the Vegas media pool. Right click on the Vegas media pool, choose View...and pick whatever fields you want.

If I misunderstood what you are after let me know-

Sonic - Yes, nearly. What do you mean by -

2) If you right click on a bin (folder icon) in the vidcap clip database, you can select "Add to media pool"- this will send the bin to Vegas (creates a new bin)

I'm looking at the info from right clicking on a Bin - I don't get "Add to Media Pool"?

Sonic - As per BStanding says, I want the "Comment" info coming into the Project as well. We're adding this in VidCap AdvCap, can't we get this into the actual Project as well? There is a Comment field? Why can't we use this already "entered" info from AdvCap? - Is the "Comment" field in the clips IN the project for something else?

Best regards

BSTanding - It's there! - Just seen "Video Capture Comment" - I must have added this field somewhere along my learning curve of V4 - This now gives a an option to sort clips and Drag 'n Drop to pre-created Bins.

Grazie,

Missed your post! Now I feel like a dunce for yammering about the need for this feature for the past week.

Excellent news! I'll check it out tonight. Thanks for the update.
