HDV Capturing Clips
Is there a way to capture an entire HDV tape in FCP? It keeps capturing individual clips. I’m assuming a new clip is made each time the camera starts and stops. I plan on using Automatic Duck to go to share with Avid so I need it to capture an entire tape as 1 file because that is what the Avid did.

If there are no actual timecode breaks in the tape, then yes you can capture a whole tape. In the capture window, check in the tabs. You will find an option for breaking the shots at camera stop/starts. Uncheck this box.
Please don’t ignore actual timecode breaks. They do occur on HDV a bit and a workflow that includes recapture will suffer if you ignore them. As you are AutoDucking to AVID, I would consider the likely hood of the need to recapture is high. I have used AD to go AVID to FCP and getting media across has been difficult with recapture needed.
