Atific Video Collection - Basics

Video, clip

Each capture session creates a new video folder that contains one or more clips. The first frame of the first clip is shown as the video folder thumbnail. See Scene Detection for clip creation.

Scene Detection

Video tape typically contains several scenes: a new scene is created each time you start recording. Atific Video Collection helps to manage scenes as follows:

• No scene detection - only one clip in the video folder and all tape scenes are included to the single video file.
• Each scene to a separate clip in the video folder.
• Scenes with the same date are detected and placed in different video folders. Each folder contains clips with same date.

Start Capture

Start options depend on the mode selected on the camera. When the camera is in "tape play" mode, the default capture start option is automatic rewind, capture and rewind after capture. If you want to seek some position manually by using camera controls check "Start from current position". When the camera is in  rec/pause mode the only option is start from current position meaning "now".

Stop Capture

There are four ways to stop capture:

• At the end of full tape independent of how much there is empty space. This mode is suitable for tapes with long empty space between scenes.  Note that empty space does not increase captured video size significantly.
  
• When one minute empty space is detected. Perfect for half-full tapes. Saves time if you perform batch capture of several tapes in line.
  
• Stop by timer.
• Manually. This is always possible independent of other stop options.
