Capturing Timecode from Sony UVW-1800

[Ron James]

Okay, the FCP manual says:

“LTC+VITC: If you choose this setting, Final Cut Pro looks at both timecodes so that
accurate timecode can be read no matter what speed the tape is playing (LTC is used
for normal and high-speed playback; VITC is used for slow motion and pause).”

So it makes sense to use this setting. But why, I wonder, did I get a 1-frame offset today and not yesterday? Weird.

For anyone who’s interested, I’ve come to the conclusion that the latest Keyspan driver and latest Mac OS combo is a little flaky. Think I’ll wait for another Keyspan update before doing anymore client work with it.
