  • Capturing From Canon GL-1 (timecode issues)

    Posted by Gcode9 on July 2, 2006 at 6:43 pm

    Can someone help me figure this capture issue out, I recently did a wedding and captured using a canon gl-1 cam and i am in the process of capturing the footage. i am experiencing a problem when i go to capture the footage in FCP HD:

    Log and Capture
    Play footage
    In/Out mark for capture of desired points
    Log Clip and give a name
    Go to Batch Clips or Capture Clip
    The internal capture monitor begins to cue to “In” points to start capture
    The FCP capture window is displying a Timecode Break search but never begins to Capture
    The Log and Capture window goes to a mixture of pixels
    Then ERROR notice appears

    Is anyone aware of this capture glitch using Canon GL-1 series cams. I also use a Sony VX-2100 but not for this particular job.
    All suggestions, tips, and feedback help is very much appreciated.

    Powerbook 17in.
    FCP HD
    After Effects 6.5

    I always hate to say that I never had issues with my GL1, because a lot of people do. Canon cameras in general give many people problems with capturing footage. All I can suggest is try with a different camera.
