    I have had a terrible time last night trying to capture a dalies. The camera tapes are appear to be continuous code, and the FCP capture seems to split the rushes at each camera stop (approximately) but there are holes left in the caputred clips – some scenes are missing the head some are missing the tail. Relogging and capturing clips manually is a very clumbsy process on this format tape. Does anyone else know this problem? Are there any pointers out there?

    Try going into your user preferences. You probably have “on timecode break” set to “make new clip.” You can change that to either “abort capture” or “warn after capture.” Be aware that if you change your setting to “warn after capture” there could be broken timecode in your clip.

    When this becomes problematic for me I usually just capture now and make a note in my log which I run on a seperate computer in Filemaker so if I need to recapture later finding the clip is less of a problem.
