All clips as 1 take?

[Jeremy Garchow]

If the clip goes over 4GBs, no.

[Emre Tufekci s.o.a.]

I do believe it can:

“New advances in the HPX370 include one-clip REC function that records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip, greatly facilitating nonlinear editing”.

It will do it, but any one clip cannot exceed 4GBs on a P2 card.

It’s called one clip recording mode on our HPX2000. I seem to recall there are issues with it, though.

Harry, what are you trying to do and why do you need this function? Just curious.

The long story of what we are trying to do is here: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/99/859239

The short is that my boss makes a paper edit with timecode, then in the edit bay he tells the editor to go to 01:05:27 for example – and instead of having the editor have to open clip 1 and scrub only to find it stops at minute 3, then open the next clip and see it stops just before the moment we need, then finally open the right clip.

I know we can just dump them all on the timeline and export a new master clip – but wanted to save time & steps… and I figured that should be one of the benefits of modern computer / cameras.

Do you know where Emre got the quote about the Panny 370? Seems like that camera has a lot to like!

Thanks,
Harry

And if you did this, the timecode will now not match back to the original clips as it will match your sequence.

Timecode is easily viewable within FCP, you find the tc, load the clip, enter in the tc in the viewer and bingo. We do this all the time.

Honestly, I can’t find the problem I remember reading about the one clip record feature not working in Log and Transfer. Perhaps it’s been fixed.

If you google the ‘HPX370 one-clip REC’ I’m sure you will get 1,000 press releases saying as such.

It seems I cannot post it where I got the quote from due to forum rules and restrictions. You will have to google it.

As I was doing some firmware updating to my camera today (not the 370) one clip Rec is now supported in FCP 7.0.2. Just following up.
