  • HDV capturing problems…please help…why the subclips?

    So I have read that if you shot with the Z1 on quick record that FCP would use some sort of scene detection to create subclips. I am using a FX-1 and when I try and set in and out points to capture an entire tape it goes through the whole tape and creates a lot of subclips every place I hit the record stop start button. I did not view footage while shooting and the clips are not timecode breaks because the subclips are in perfect line when it comes to the timecode. Meaning one clip will end in 02:04:05 and the next clip will be 02:04:06. This would be a cool feature if and when it found these subclips that it would capture them. As of right now it goes through the whole tape adding all of these subclips, then only captures the very last subclip. I then have to highlight all of these newly created subclips and batch capture them. These means that on a 45 mintue tape I have let the Computer go through the tape TWICE. This sucks

    anyone have any clue whats up?

    Aloha,

    If anyone knows how to disable this, PLEASE let me know. I offlined a 90 minute project using HDV captured to DV and now I need to online in HDV, but can’t!!!!! I can’t recapture the enitre tape because of the new clip thing. I have tried media managing the project, but even with only 10 frame handles we get extra clips that mess things up.

    From what I understand your recording to standard DV tapes. That’s the same thing that’s happening to me. Try using the HDV tapes and see if this works.

    It still occurs even if you use HDV tapes
