capture to end of tape
Dear fellow editors
Is there a way to capture an entire tape without knowing the end timecode. I Know about capture now, but does it stop capturing when there is no more timecode or does it just continue until you stop it.
Thanks in advance,

continues till you hit ESCAPE. I once left the building for a moment and got sidetracked. Came back an hour later had had captured an hour of black after the tape ended.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Actually Bogie, I don’t think it keeps going anymore. At least not here at my shop. I distictly noticed this “feature” and was very pleased with it, as my previous NLE would capture until the drive was full if left to do so.

I think it depends on whether you have device control set to “non-controllable device” or not. If device control is on, then I think it should stop when it runs out of timecode. If device control is off, then it’s not looking at TC at all, & it’ll just keep running till you tell it to stop. Or your drives fill up.
