drop frames on 720p capture
hola forum
ok i got the material of a project to digitalize , i is a historic battle of San Martin a proser in argentina, a lot of horses, dust etc, so the thing is, the tapes have A LOT of drops everywhere (the camera were rent… apparently not in good conditions) . when we try to capture, final cut will abort or make a new clip depending on the preference setting, but we lost almost 10 seconds of footage at the beginning and the end of every shot…not good.
because of my english let my clarify. 2 problems; the inaccurate of jvc hdv capture (making a lot litttle files and not only in star/stop ) and all the drops in witch final cut will make a new clip. but not in a good manneri want to hav it like is on the tape with the drops and everything but complete.
so i duplicate the master with a new timecode, but it did -

Modify the capture preset so that you cut down on the amount of preroll.

If you are really desperate, set to Non controllable device and do a capture now. I will do it’s best to get everything. Of course, you will have no TC to reference later if need be.

I had an issue were the operator was trigger happy with a camera on free run. What I did was capture the tape as a non controllable device. Then I laid that clip back to a new tape with continuous TC. Then I logged and batched from the new tape. The reason for the extra steps and time is that I now have batched media I can recapture and relink to if FCP took a dump.

An editor’s dream. It really can’t get much better than that.

Right, if you set preroll to less time, you won’t lose as much footage on the tc breaks. As of now, you will lose at least 6 seconds at each tc break. If you change preroll to one second, you will gain 5 seconds back.
Make sense?

Oops I misread. Thought you said 5 seconds, not frames.
FCP 6.0.2 has added better HDV support, are you in the middle of this project or just starting?
-
well… in the middle (i hope…if not will be endless) …and yes the suport of FCP is better and olso better with the update of the firmware of the BR-HD50…
but i cant not make it work with capture now, non controlable device and HDV for codec…
Walter Biscardi, Jr. was not shure abaut it…
“it’s possible this doesn’t work in HDV to be honest. I’ve never tried that.
We have been successful doing this with DV, DVCPro HD and uncompressed formats using FCP.”
somebody knows?
thanks for the help
