Downside to “Abort Capture on Dropped Frames”?

[Raven Plenty]

No, sadly it’s all on one hard drive right now. This will be changing soon. What won’t be changing soon enough for me is the move to a non-tape camera in our office. Real-time capturing sucks, dropped frames or not.

You know that bungee thing looks pretty fun, even if it is going nowhere fast!

Thanks again.

I have just left a post at:

But basically try a different / lower monitor screen resolution.

If this helps anyone I would be interested to know, with or with the same hardware.

quote from fcp help:
Abort capture on dropped frames: When this option is selected, capture stops immediately when a dropped frame is detected. All media captured before the dropped frame has frame-accurate timecode and is preserved. The resulting media file is saved and a clip for that media file is placed in the Browser.

doesn’t that mean that everything till the the dropped frame should be saved in the browser?

also, why is it important for the Mac OS extended hard drive not to be journaled?

thanks,
Lupo.

hi Rafael,
Do you think I should do the same for capturing from VHS to avoid stop the capture process ?
thanks.
