Help FCP5 crashed during my batch capture

[Mark Gringo]

i changed my preferences to “warn after time code break,” but is is more of the same thing. It keeps breaking my clips into a series of small clips.

Okay. Take in timecode in and out information from the bad clips, open your log & capture window, type in the ins and outs and relog your clips and try capturing that way. It sounds like you have something set up wrong if you keep crashing and losing data. How is your equipment hooked up? What are you digitizing from and what are you digitizing to? IS your equipment set up properly?

Open up a completely new project and choose the appropriate easy set up and try and import the clips that way. Maybe your project is corrupted. It is always good to trash your preferences after a crash. Have you changed anything with the machine recently? When was the last time you had a really good dream? What time is it on Monday? Sorry it’s getting late and I have to sleep soon.

I’m sure you might have read the post from this morning, or it’s from someone in your shop, but just in case it’s not look here:

Pay attention to Steve O’Connor’s post

It explains how to change the capture presets to ignore the timecode breaks.

It appears that the timecode break function is ignored in the preferences when using hdv.

According to his post after you enter log & capture mode, you have to click on clip settings then click on create new clip on start/stop.
