Cant get FCP to send out Timecode from firewire….
this is really wierd….I cannot for the life of me get timecode to come out the firewire from my timeline to my Sony DSR-45. I have picture but the decks timecode is sitting at 00:00:00:00 while recording….and I have the deck set to take DV in and TC from external device….I have no idea whats going on, never run into this before.;…any ideas…

FCP does not output a timecode signal.

so there is no way to use the timecode from my timeline to match up? how do you when starting a program at 58:00:00, get the timecode to match your timeline for broadcast then…sorry its been a while since Ive mastered to DVCAM….

Not familiar with the DSR 45, but if it supports timecode generation, then pre-stripe the beginning of your tape with the timecode you want it to begin at, then perform an assemble edit with FCP at the desired timecode that matches your timeline.
read the chapter beginning at page 424 in the online help for specifics.

just read an old post, I knew I wasnt going nuts, it used to do this on FCP3 and earlier, its been that long since Ive mastered to DVCAM…..there is a program that Apple gives out for free, that will export it from Quicktime…thks for your help..

Yes…and here is the workflow:

Didn’t know if it would work with the DSR-45, but it does nicely with my DSR-11.

it should worked with anything that can receive firewire timecode, since it even worked on a DVX100 when I tried…

This has been posted before but here it is again.
On DSR-45 menu go to TC MAKE and select PRESET and exec. THEN on menu go up to TC PRESET, go over to PREST and then set your timecode entry and SET and exec. Stripe some timecode to head of your tape and stop. Then on DSR-45 menu go to TC MAKE and select REGEN. In FCP select an in point, then select EDIT TO TAPE (make sure you again set same in point) and ASSEMBLE edit to tape.

I can’t get simplevideoout to run! There does not sem to be an .app file in the bunch of files that I downloaded from apple. Can you tell me which file should work? Three of the files try and run graphic convertor, so maybe I have some resource fork issues??
Thanks,
Ken.

oops – found it! Buried in one of the folders I had not opened.
Thanks,
Great tip for striping dv tapes in the DSR-11.
Ken.
