Instead of manually logging in- and out-points, you might want to use the Scene Detect feature. Scene Detect analyzes your tape’s Time/Date stamp looking for breaks such as those caused when you press the camcorder’s pause button while recording.

When Scene Detect is on and you perform a capture, Premiere Pro automatically captures a separate file at each scene break it detects. Scene Detect works whether you are capturing an entire tape or just a section between specific in- and out-points.

To turn on Scene Detect, in the Capture panel, do either of the following:

• Click the Scene Detect button below the record button.
• Check the Scene Detect checkbox in the Capture panel.

Then you can either set in- and out-points and click Record, or cue your tape to wherever you want to start capturing and click Record. In the latter case, click Stop when done.

Your clips will show up in the Project panel. No need to batch capture them—Premiere Pro captures each clip “on the fly.” Premiere Pro will name the first captured clip by putting a 01 after the name you put in the Clip Name box and then increment each new clip by one.
