HDV capture
Hello friends, while im trying to capture HDV (1080; 50i) footage, at the TC break the clips are automatically being split. I have unchecked the create clip in & out point at Log & Capture clip setting window but still it’s happening. Am i doing something wrong or is it default by FCP for HDV capture? I have HDV firewire non drop frame setting as control device & HDV 1080; 50i as capture & sequence setting.
Would appreciate some help here.
Regards…

Yep, by default FCP creates new clip every time it detects start/stop point on HDV tape.

What Everest said is exactly right. You’re not doing anything wrong. That’s just inherent in the HDV codec. FCP will always break the file up when it detects a timecode start/stop.

Here’s my issue:
I have HDV video that I’m trying to capture into FCP 7. The footage has timecode breaks in it, some longer than others. I’d love to FCP to just gloss over them, ala capturing DV footage, but it seems it cannot.
Re-recording is not an option as the client doesn’t want to pay for the additional work. The capture itself is a byproduct of the videographer not remembering to compress live on site.
Thanks for any help you might have!
