  • Capture QTs a mess or a new thing?

    Posted by Mike Manor on November 20, 2007 at 10:51 pm

    I’m a little confused/perplexed. I’ve just installed FC Studio 2 (I’ve been using Studio 1, so am familiar) and capturing tapes using Capture/Now. The problem is this: in the Browser the captured clips look fine – one clip per tape – and they move to the timeline OK, edit fine, etc. However, I discovered when looking in the Capture Scratch folder that instead of one QT file for each tape, there are many with the same name plus some numbers but the same amount of memory used. Only one opens when clicked. When I click the others I get a pop-up window that says: “The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file.” In the past, I always got one QT file per captured tape.

    Does any one know if this is a new thing with FC Studio 2 or have I set something up wrong? It doesn’t appear to affect the edit – so far – but I had to move a folder with the capture scratch files and it was quite a challenge to reconnect them – couldn’t tell which was which. I can’t find any documentation on this. Any ideas?

    P.S. I’ve checked my formatting on my Hard Drives and they’re all Mac OS Extended.
