Insert a single shot on a master

[Arnie Schlissel]

Which deck, Walter? Are you sure that the deck is capable of inserts?

I’ve done many an insert to DigiBeta no superfluous frames.

FCP 6.0.4
DVW-A500
OSX 10.4.11
Xeon Octo-Core 8GB RAM
BM Decklink HD Extreme

I make sure I am in ETT Edit mode. My guess is that it’s a Kona issue. Decklink had an issue where it would duplicate the first frame of an insert that was fixed with a firmware update.

In this case it was the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 and yes, it has all the editing capabilities including Insert. In the past we’ve tried it on several BetaSP recorders as well. We own the UVW-1800 which is not that great at Inserts and I wouldn’t trust it anyway.

But certainly the 1400 is capable of this.

We also do this regularly with DigiBeta and an AJA io.

I have laid off to digibeta myself…little inserts here and there, with no black frames. AJA Kona 2 at the time I did this (worked for a week at a company color correcting). And I have output to BetaSP recently and replaced one shot with no black frames. But I have not laid back to DVCPRO HD yet, nor had the need to replace one shot on HDCAM, so I am not sure about those formats.

I’ve been able to do an insert edit with a 2.5 G5 with FCP 5.x, using DVCAM, and a Sony DSR-1800A without any extra frames. Unfortunately, this was almost two years ago, and I haven’t had to do it since, so my exact procedure escapes me now. Sorry, I couldn’t be more help!

Forgot to add, we were using an AJA Io with RS422, not a capture card

We often insert edit video from FCP to DSR-80, DSR-1500 or UVW1800 decks via an AJA IoLA box. The only time I’ve experienced extra black frames is due to operator error – In the Edit to Tape window, under the Mastering Settings tab, there’s a Trailer “Black” Box. If the box is checked and there’s a duration entered, then indeed black will be added after your out point on your master tape.

But I think you can only enter whole number seconds there, not frames, and since you are getting 15 frames of black, that’s probably not the problem for you. But worth a quick look anyway.
