Batch Capture & Losing Synch — what am I doing wrong in preferences?
Hi All,
First post here. I’m digitizing in minidv media into FCP6 and am running into a synch problem. I digitized minidv footage in and when I checked it, it was out of synch due to dropped frames (part of the video track just froze during capture while the audio continued to be captured which threw it all out of synch.) Anyway, I thought I’d simply relog and recapture the tape but when I went to capture it, I got the following message:
“Warning: You are about to capture Drop Frame media from a device currently detecting Non-Drop Frame media. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media or removal of master clip relationships.”
I’m interpreting that this means I’ve got a preference set up incorrectly in FCP that’s telling it I want to capture Drop Frame media when I actually want to capture Non Drop frame, right? I’m using the devault DVNTSC in the project setup and in the editing tab of preferences I’ve chosen (under the BWF Import section) NTSC Default Time Code: Non-Drop.
What am I doing wrong on this? I’ve just begun the task of digitizing tons of hours into FCP6 for this project and only ran into this problem on reel 4 (not 1-3 or 5 or 6). Is it just a bad tape that I need to dub onto a new tape?
I’d sure appreciate some help on this one guys!
Thanks!
