12 About Troubleshooting Capture Problems

By default, Premiere Elements captures your video directly to your Timeline, a very convenient feature if you plan to simply capture, adjust your clips, and output.

However, many editors prefer to capture to the Media panel only, trimming and ordering their clips before assembling them on the Timeline.

Whatever your preference, you can easily change this default setting.

1.	Open the Capture Workspace To open the Capture workspace, click the Capture button in the upper-right corner of any workspace.
2.	Open Capture Preferences Click the More button in the Capture Monitor panel.
3.	Set Your Capture Option to Timeline Check or uncheck the Capture to Timeline option. Continue the process of capturing your audio or video, as described in the preceding tasks.
