What do I do, start capture and go and have a cup of coffee. Come back,
view
captured video and press marker key, sometimes on the fly, sometimes by
stopping, to immediately create a useable material list.

As you said in a previous message, in film the print that is then cut into
rushes, those that are not needed or just rubbish probably ending up on the
floor, the NLE capture is that point, the rubbish stays on the magnetic tape
and only the good is placed in the ' capture bin' on the HDD.


AFAICS, there is absolutely nothing to gain from pen and paper logging.

Other than planning how to put the 'programme' together in the edit,
something that might not be needed if the film has been story boarded but
how many people will have done that at home before going on holiday or
filming little Jimmies birthday party...

What do
you do sit there with the remote control, run the tape, stop the tape and
write
down the in point, run, stop the tape so you can write down the out point
and so
forth and then have to enter the capture timecode list into the computer.
One
point that occurs to me is, what do you do about non-contiguous timecode?

Either make a dub and create a new time code or do a manual capture.


Also, if you have all your material available, you will produce a better
edit. I
know of no editor who can view every shot in a film and declare with
absolute
certainty that it will or wont cut/mix/whatever with another shot. One of
the
most commonly used phrases in film editing used to be, probably still is,
"Let's try that" - sometimes it won't, sometimes it does and sometimes
it's a
bugger me, why didn't we see that before!


Were have I said that possible scenes will not be captured ?
