  • Capturing without timecode?

    Posted by John Felt on February 27, 2009 at 6:58 pm

    Hello all

    I am trying to capture a VHS tape into final cut, and having trouble as there is no Timecode on the tape. Perhaps someone may know a way to do it.

    I am going from my VCR into a DV camera, and from there into the Log and Capture interface. I can get whats on the VCR to show up in the Log and Capture window. However, once I go to “Capture Now” it won’t actually capture because it is waiting for TC.

    Is there a way to get it so that FCP doesn’t need TC to capture?

    If anyone has any thoughts on how to do it, I would love your advice.

    Thank you all so much!
