Check on camera if you have the option to shoot widescreen

File - log - capture (want to log footage off the tape) - will copy clips somewhere else

    • Scene
    • Shot/take
    • Angle

  • when you are shooting, be really careful with time code - camera is what puts time code on tape - 
  • when you stop  on your camera, there will be a gap in a time code 
  • it then resets time codes
  • make sure that time codes are continuous 
  • just start and stop 
  • i key - In point has to be after end point   
  • o key - outpoint 
  • slate to slate 
  • when you find all your good clips,  CAPTURE (batch)
    • capture clip
    • capture now 
      • doesn't maintain info on where the time code information is on the tape
    • capture batch
  • Capture, handle -
  • when you are shooting, you need editing room - give yourself pre-roll - between shots, 15 seconds at least
  • tap it a few times it will slow the fwd or rwd
  • L - fast forward
