Capture Clip:
A more controlled means of scanning specific sections of film. After
you've used the transport controls and the In and Out button to define a section of film,
clicking 'capture clip' scans that one clip and then stops.
TIP
If 'Enable 2 Pass HDR Scan' is selected, the high intensity HDR scan uses
the same In and Out points as the initial scan.
Batch Clips:
A way you can log multiple clips in advance of scanning them all at once
using the current light source settings in DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel. Log
each clip in advance by setting In and Out points for each section of film you want to
scan, and click the 'log clip' button to save that frame range as an unscanned clip in the
media pool. When you click 'batch clips', all unscanned clips will be scanned one after
the other until the job is complete. You can also select one or more unscanned clips,
and only the selected clips will be scanned. Furthermore, you can import an EDL that
corresponds to a particular film roll, and use the resulting logged clips for scanning.
It's important to note that when you click the 'log clip' button, Cintel Scanner applies the
same project settings to all clips in the batch, and uses the newest project settings at
the time of capture. You are advised to confirm the scanner settings before starting the
batch capture.
TIP
If 'Enable 2 Pass HDR Scan' is selected, the high intensity HDR scan uses
the same sets of In and Out points as the initial batch of scans.
For more information on batch capture workflows, refer to the 'Ingesting From Tape'
chapter in the DaVinci Resolve manual.
Snapshot:
Capture a single frame with normal exposure and current scanner
settings.
NOTE
Once scanning, if DaVinci Resolve detects that your storage bandwidth
is too low to capture at the selected speed, the scan speed will automatically
adjust to ensure the capture is successful. If you are using the optional Audio
and KeyKode Reader accessory, the audio sample rate will also be adjusted to
maintain your chosen audio quality.
Extracting Audio
If the film you're scanning also contains an optical sound track, you can extract the audio in a
separate step. There is a standard image frame to audio frame offset of 26 frames for 16mm
and 21 frames for 35mm that DaVinci automatically aligns when extracting the audio. Select
all of the clips that have an optical sound track, then right-click one of the selected clips and
choose 'extract audio'. Resolve analyzes the overlapping optical track area of each frame and
automatically generates a matching audio track, synchronized with the scanned
image sequence.
Each clip's audio will be automatically extracted, embedded in the clip and saved to the same
directory the scanned frames have been written to. A small audio icon will appear on the corner
of your clip's thumbnail so you know there is a corresponding audio file.
