before batch recapturing:

    ·check your batch recapture settings by clicking the settings button.

    ·adjust the data rate so that you are capturing high resolution clips during batch recapture. if you make extensive changes, use the save button to save your settings to a file.

    ·if you would like to delete old dps clips before you recapture the new clips (to make space on your drive), make sure you check the "delete existing clips before recapture" box at the top of the settings window.

    ·if you check this button, the replace using original names option becomes available. if you do not choose to use this option, your clip names will be renamed automatically. if your old clip was called frisbee.dva, your re-captured clip will be called something like frisbee_000_4613361.dva. the number appended to your original clip name is a computer date and time stamp that helps identify the new clips. we recommend that you do not re-name these clips. while you can re-name your dva files, you should not re-name the associated dps files. the dva file points to the dps file, and if you change the dps file name the dva file will not be able to find the video file.

    5. check your batch recapture list. most items are assigned automatically using the information from the timeline. to alter an item on the list, double click on it. some fields open a drop-down menu, and some allow you to enter data such as digits or notes.

    for each clip on the list, adjust the audio quality using the drop down box and select the settings file to use during capture.

    when your batch list opens, all items have a check mark in the first column of the batch list. if you do not wish to capture any of these items, remove the check mark at the left end of its listing.

    when you first start batch recapture, the settings column shows "default". to change the custom settings, click on the settings and select custom from the drop down box. the custom settings window will open, and you can adjust the quality or proc amp settings. to use the batch re-capture settings that are shown when you click the batch recapture settings button, select "default" in the settings column.

    7. note the dva and dps directories at the bottom of the window. when you create a batch recapture list these directories will be assigned automatically based on your current timeline location and the internal computer date and time stamp. however, if you want to record your high resolution clips in different directories, you may change them using the dps and dva buttons.

    8. to start the recapturing process, click on the recapture button. verify that the correct tape is in the vtr. once you confirm this, batch recapture begins. the timecode numbers under the preview window turn red while the clips are being recorded.

    9. once batch recapture has finished recording all the new clips, dpsvelocity automatically replaces the old clips on the timeline with the new clips.

    when you replace clips on the timeline, all the transitions and effects that you had on the clips on the timeline are still there. however, any areas that needed rendering must be rendered again using the new, higher resolution clips.
