I created a new temporary Premier Pro project to store the uncut version of the first tape referenced EC001. I captured the whole tape using automatic scene detection and named the files EC_TP1_A, EC_TP1_B ... changing the last letter each time a blank tape section error was detected. Despite not having rewound the tape at any time during the shooting stage I still got the blank tape section errors about 5 times.

I purposely watched 30 minutes of the first tape without touching any settings to determine whether this will help me during the first scene selection, tomorrow. The rest of the 30 minutes where extracted while I was taking a long coffee break.

The total size of the first 1 hour tape 13.1GB of .avi files.
