Capture to seperate files

[Walter Biscardi]

Capture them as one file. Capturing as separate files can cause sync issues and drop frame issues. There is no longer a need to capture anything as a separate file.

Walter, I have a project that I digitized 7 hours of beta footage. Most of the clips had nat sound so I digitized audio and video to a single file in the DVcodec for offline. Now, when I redig the video only for the online there is no way for me to delete the huge and long DV video clips from the audio because they are all in a single file. I thought of this after about 5 hours were digitized. Now I wish my audio clips were separate so I could delete the video DV clips after the thing is onlined and keep only the audio.

If only FCP had a slick consolidate that was as elegant as AVID I would have no problem consolidating the audio to small clips by themselves then batch dig the online video. I have the PipePro Studio and I wonder if uploading to separate AV files would actually cause sync issues.

There still IS a good reason to digitize to separate AV clips…FCP’s awful media manager!

Duplicate your DV sequence. Delete the video clips from the duplicate. Drag into new project (optional–but automatically breaks all links to master clips). Use the “awful” Media Manager to copy the media deleting unused footage. You end up with all your audio consolidated–no video. Paste the consolidated audio back into your Online video only sequence.
