• press Start Capture
• Press Stop Capture to terminate the capture.
4. Capture Device
   • If your device (video camera or tape machine) is plugged in correctly its name will appear here.
   • If it says None Found make sure your Firewire cable is connected between the PC and the device, and make sure it is switched on.
5. Video Name - the name that you type here will appear as the video's name in your FORscene account.
6. Capture Duration
• You can choose the duration of the clip you wish to capture
• If the box remains unchecked, capturing will continue until you press Stop Capture
7. Use the controls on your camera or tape deck to cue your tape to the start point of video you wish to capture
• The video being played appears in the preview window on the right hand side
• The video will not be captured until you select Start Capture
8. Start Capture

• The progress bars indicate how much video has been uploaded
• Start Capture will change to Stop Capture once selected.
9. Stop Capture
• Capture will stop automatically if you specified a capture duration.
• Upload will continue until it has finished.

Notes:

• The capturing will stop when either the Capture Duration has been reached, or Stop Capture is selected.
• FORscene load - PC captures in real time but the upload speed is dependent on your Internet connection speed. A standard ADSL broadband connection has 256Kbps upload speed - videos may take 8 times real time to upload.
• The video will appear in your FORscene account as it uploads, so you can start editing before it has finished uploading.
