  weird time code offset

  Posted by Redžinald Šimek on April 18, 2008 at 12:39 pm

  we shoot feature on sony F23@25fps, and guys in the post facility transfer rushes on the DVCAM for offline edit.
  Time code is also burned on the image.

  When i try to capture offline on the FCP via Firewire i got weird time code offset of 4 frames, on each tape, always the same. Time code burned on the image correspond to the time code on the tape, but when i capture it, time code on the file is 4 frames late. I try to capture from the other device, but i got same result,
  I check all settings but everything is as usual.

  any suggestions

  thanks

  Capture via rs422 or set your frame offset for 4 frames in a duplicated dv device control prefs.

  i cannot capture via 422, and i try to change frame offset but without any result.
  anything else to try?

  Firewire is notoriously inaccurate.

  Where did you set the frame offset?
