Capture weirdness in FCP 7
I hardly ever do Capture Now but I had three 90 minute betas to capture so I decided to use “Capture Now” with the preference set to “On timecode break: Warn After Capture” Didn’t need the TC. The whole tape appeared to be captured and I got the message at the end that say capture is complete. When I put the clip in a timeline to check it there was only 48 of 90 minutes in the clip (first TC break). When I checked the QT file in the capture scratch folder the whole 90 minutes was there.

How did previous versions of FCP work? There was a timecode break, how would the file work? If I know I don’t need the timecode and if I know there are timecode breaks, I would just change the device control to be a non-controllable device.
If you open the file in QT Player and change the counter to timecode, does it reflect the timecode break? You could also try deleting the timecode track in QT Player. If the whole clip is there in QT Player, but not FCP, it’s probably that timecode track giving you grief.
