  deck control with hdcam

  Posted by Chris Johnson on July 11, 2005 at 6:07 pm

  I am using FCP 5 with black magic HP Pro Deck link. I try to capture in HDcam and after I log the clip as it captures I keep getting time code breaks even though there is no time code break on the tape, and it breaks the clip up into several clips and even skips a few seconds around each break. Is there any way to bring the footage in as one clip?

  Thanks in advance

  I’ve been doing this just today on the same setup as you have – with no problems.

  Are you trying to capture uncompresed HD to your internal drives? Obviously you won’t be able to do this – try the Blackmagic DVCPro HD 1080 codec in 8 bit and see if you get the same problems.

  I am capturing to fire wire 800 drive. I tried switching the inputi to black magic 1080i-dvcpro HD & 1080i 50 8 bit. This did not work, however I noticed that it captured more footage before a timecode break occurred.
