FCP capture
Hi, I just moved to FCP (and to the USA!).
I have this problem about capturing.I was used to capture with Sony Vegas, which had a great option, in my opinion: it could capture the entire tape and at the same time it recognized the interruptions in the takes, and allowed me to have as many different clips as the takes.
If I well understood FCP settings, when it says Make different clip at Timecode breaks (kind of), that is not the same thing as what I’m looking for (and infact I tried and it seems not to work as supposed).
Actually the stop/play interruptions between takes are not “timecode breaks”.Can somebody help me figuring out if there’s a way of having that same option with Final Cut Pro (my version is FCP 5).
Thank you

as far as I know, Scene Detect is not a feature available in Final Cut.

If you’re capturing HDV, there is a ‘Create new clip on Start/Stop’ under Clip Settings in the Log and Capture window.
If not, I found a possible workaround:
https://www.eventdv.net/Articles/News/Feature/Tutorial-|-Cut-Lines-Final-Cut-Pro-DV-Start-Stop-37862.htmThe one issue about using this method is that you need to go through ‘Capture Now’. If you want to play safe, you could still log your footage roughly, capturing them in 10-min parts and then creating sub clips afterwards.

Thank you Dennis.
And Thank you Kai: that way is extremely useful. The only annoyance, as far as I understood the tutorial you linked me to, is that you need to overlap the clips in order to make cross dissolves.Apart from that, why do you say “if you want to play safe”, related to Capture Now?
Thank you again.
