Capture & Set New TC
I have about 10 tapes to capture that have lots of time code breaks. I would like to bypass the TC on those tapes and burn a new TC into a single capture. Is there a way to do that? I’m assuming Capture Now does it, but is there a way to burn new TC during the Capture?
Thanks,

You can use the AUX TC track to edit with if you desire.
However, I don’t understand what went wrong with the original capture.
TC Breaks can be dealt with by capturing over them. Did you try that?Kevin Monahan

Capturing as uncontrolled device and ignoring timecode is what you are proposing I think. Not a good idea if you ever need to recapture in sync.

Capturing as uncontrolled device and ignoring timecode…HOW?
Yes, that sounds like what I want to do. The tapes are composed of three 20min. originals copied onto 65min tapes (the ones I have). The originals had several timecode breaks re-setting at 0:00:00 after each break, and the TC on the copied 65min tapes re-set after each tape…it’s a complete mess concerning TC. I would like to ignore the TC and create new TC for editing the footage. Is there a tutorial on the steps for this?
Thanks so much,
EricEric

I was cautioning against the use of uncontrolled device as it means you are editing without reference to the code on tape and therefore it is a total mess if you have to go back and recapture off tape.
As for how to do it, that is really basic stuff you will find with a forum search or better still reading the manual. Sorry if it seems like I am reluctant to help you do something that may be a huge mistake months down the track.

I understand the caution, and I appreciate the concern.
Thanks for your time and expertise,
