The 'capture info' panel lets you specify
metadata for your scanned clips
Capture Location:
Before you begin a film scanning session, scroll down to the
'capture info' section of DaVinci Resolve's film scanner panel to make sure the scanned
files are being saved to the directory and volume where you want them. Click the
'browse' button and choose a location from the file destination dialog. It's good to do
this first, as this step is easy to forget.
Capture:
When you have a Cintel Audio and KeyKode Reader fitted, this menu gives
you options for 'audio only' so no images will be captured, or 'image and sound'.
Alternatively, you can capture 'image only' if audio is not important.
Resolution:
The resolution of the capture files depends on the source film format so
this field cannot be edited.
Codec:
DaVinci Resolve selects the 'Cintel Raw' codec for lossless compression
by default, or you can choose 'Cintel Raw 3:1' for even smaller file sizes.
Film Frame Rate:
Specify the frame rate that the film was originally shot at. DaVinci
Resolve automatically adjusts the timeline frame rate based on this value. This setting
is unrelated to capture or transport speeds.
When using the optional Audio and KeyKode Reader accessory to scan audio, the
reader will automatically adjust for frame rate to maintain an overall sample rate of
48kHz. Timecode output is supported for 24, 25 and 30 fps, and for other frame rates
no timecode signal is outputted.
File Name Prefix:
Prefix to help identify the scan. This can be the name of your project,
such as the title of the film you are scanning.
Timestamp Prefix:
Select this checkbox to prefix your scans with a timestamp as well
as the 'file name prefix' you specified. Your clips will be saved to independent sub-
folders in the destination folder. This checkbox is selected by default.
