List Capture

ch-importing_list-capture-button

 

Once you have imported your list file, we have a composition timeline that has no media linked to the shots.

 

dv_note

A shot without media linked to it will display the offline slate in the monitor :

 

ch-cli_comp-offline

 

To connect the composition shots to media, we need to :

 

a) capture - find the referenced media and import it to the library.
b) conform - link the matching media to the shots.

 

We do this via a batch operation called List Capture. With the composition active (currently edited) click on the ..List Capture option in the library:

 

ch-importing_list-capture-button-anno

 

This will bring up the List Capture window :

 

ch-importing_list-capture-window-anno

 

The List Capture window displays an alternative view of the composition timeline, showing each shot as a separate row in a table. Each shot will have a Status.

 

dv_note

You will only see the events listed on enabled video tracks.

 

After initial import, the list will not be linked to any media and each list event will have a Needed status.

 

ch-importing_list-capture-initial-import

Each event has a Needed status after list import.

Media Event Status

ch-importing_list-capture-status-anno

 

The shot Status field can take the following values :

 

Status

Meaning

Needed

The media specific to this event is not in the library, or has not been matched to media on disk after searching (Capture).

Found

The media specific to this event is in the library and has been matched exactly (given capture control criteria).

Found Multiple

The media for this event is in the library but multiple matches have been found (given capture control criteria). By default, we select the latest for use but you can choose to change this selection.

Disabled (Needed)

As the Needed status, but the event has been disabled (so no attempt will be made to find or match it).

Disabled (Found)

As the Found status, but the event has been disabled (so no attempt will be made to conform/link the event to the media found).

Conformed

The media for this event is found, is in the library and has been linked (conformed) to the event.
