batch capture everything’s flying everywhere
Hey there,
I’m currently working on an online project on an Avid Mojo. I was given a timeline on CD, where the offline was done on an identical mojo. The timeline shows up no problems. I select Batch Capture, the VTR fires up, and works fine. As soon as it’s finished, the screen refreshes and all my clips are out of whack. every clip is clipped. there is one spot about six minutes into the 17 minute video where the clip was named “interview clip 1” on the video and audio track. before I capture. After I capture it turns to “interview clip 1” on the video track and “woodcutter” on the audio track. So I have a talking head video with a chainsaw going for the audio. I have never seen this before. I had the client resend another timeline and it did the same thing. I tried a decompose first and it did the same thing. This project due on Thursday Please send help.
Thanks

Never saw this happen on my setups, but is it possible that the tape names are not correct?
As for your example with the interview, in the original sequence, can you confirm that the TC’s of both video and audio are the same? If not, the offline guy screwed up naming the tapes…

The tapes seemed to be correct. What got me is actually watching the names of the clips change on the timeline. Last night we loaded this timeline on an adrenaline and it did the same thing. Unfortunately, I ended up having to piece it together the old school way. One clip at a time. 3 hours later, I started editing.

Are they mac and you PC? Are you using Stage Tools (screwed me up recently with the same results)? Is there some other 3rd party plugin that you’re using? Are you SD or HDV?
Have you tried cutting the old sequence into a new sequence. Could be that the original seq’ is corrupt. Perhaps they could send you a sequence from the attic or archive that is one itteratation older as long as there wasn’t too much work done.

did you also try the usual suspects? (new user, rebuild database / remove databases from OMFI directory, trash McState..)

I’m not entirely sure what they’re editing on. I think it is a Mac. I am editing on a Mac. Since I got the timeline to work by the good old re-arranging everything technique, I’m going to let it slide. The video got approved so I guess I did something right. What scares me is the next video is done on FCP. We’ll see what happens with this one.
