  • Drop Frame Non Drop Question

    Posted by Buck Miller on August 10, 2008 at 3:43 am

    I am capturing Mini DV footage, which if I am right records in drop frame. Anyway, I am getting a warning when I try to batch capture that reads:

    “WARNING: You are about to capture drop-frame media to a non drop-frame clip. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems with relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.”

    I read on another post here to be sure to choose “Fire Wire NDF” for device control, so I did that in “Audio/Video Settings”. SO. . . I am a bit confused as to why I am getting this WARNING box. Do I just ignore, or am I missing something?

    Hey Buck

    I’m not from the DF/NDF neck of the woods (yea PAL) but DV over firewire is pretty much a no brainer … just go to your Easy Setup’s, choose the matching setup for your source, and then just leave the setting alone ie don’t go in and modify them, they’re already set correctly

    Cheers
