JVC GY-110U difficulties with unwanted scene breaks
We are having some difficulties with unwanted scene breaks while capturing. My transcriber has the
JVC GY-110U Camera going into FCP 6.0.4 via firewire on his system and the FCP is creating 8sec breaks in the clips where there is no start/stop. Our goal is to have seamless captures for transcribing.
When I (the editor) capture I will be using a JVC Deck with my Mac 8 Core w/ 10 gigs ram and a Black Magic DeckLink HD Extreme Car. I am worried that the timecode will be different when I digitze the footage and there will still beunwanted scene breaks while capturing.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks

Are you importing the footage as HDV720p. If so try importing as ProRes. This seems to resolve problems for most people and retains the timecode. You may lose a few frames (about 5) at the start of each take. It also speeds up any rendering you may have to do in your timeline.
Another solution is to import the footage as m2t using DVHSCap. This can then be rewrapped as .mov files using Clipwrap, from https://www.clipwrap.com/. Clipwrap does not recompress only rewrap, so it does not affect the quality or timecode, it’s very quick but costs US$49.95.
