    Greetings. We just got our new HVR. Using the camera for capture, i set my FCP easy set up to HDV 1080-60. 2 things happened when i captured…1. i used “capture now” and captured about 18 minutes of footage. when the capture ended it automatically divided up my footage into 34 different clips. the only thing i can figure out is it read when i started and stopped recording?
    2. when i put a clip into the timeline it shows that the clip needs to be rendered? i thought it was real time just like DV?

    The division of the footage is normal, DV footage has this extra feature of having the time of day stamped on it, so it detects the cuts…

    it can also break down a whole dv sequence by going to the menu “Mark”, then DV start/stop detect which will create markers on your footage…

    For the rendere part, are u using FCP 5… If so, change your rt setting (to the left of your actual timeline) to Dynamic playback and FPS..

    That will allow you to play it back in realtime… you probably have your settings set to safe (which renders everything)… put them to unlimited RT (use that also if u use FCP 4, because you won’t have the Dynamic options)

    hope that helps!

    markyyyy

    have fun,
