Capturing one clip but ending up with more
Why when I capture a dv tape in its entirety, does it give me more than one clip? It’s capturing everything it’s supposed to so I guess I shouldn’t complain. I’m just wondering what’s happening here?

Check your User Preferences. There is an option for “On Timecode Break:” if that is set to Make New Clip, then each time FCP encounters a timecode break, it will make a new clip and keep digitizing.

2 possible causes:
1. you have “limit capture / file size” ticked in your FCP system settings
2. your drive is formatted MS DOS
the first is not a huge problem, but you are asking for trouble, so best to turn it off.
the second (wrongly formatted drive) IS a problem.
you cant fix that without erasing all the media from it.
so you’d have to copy all the media across to another drive before you re-format it.nick
