midnight timecode..
Hi all,
i have a problem:
i’m about to edit a rock-concert in FCP. My problem is, that
all of my 5 cams have a timecode jump at midnight…
they go from 23.59.59.24 to 00.00.00.00
well, i can capture the clips with capture now and warn
after capture, but except for one file FCP crops the files
at 23.59.59.09….(although in QT all of the material is
present..)What can i do?
is there a tool to “regenerate” timecode in the QT-Files??
or something else i can do except fom recording new
timecode to the original tapes??
Why does it work wit one file, and not with the others??Thanx for any help

Just dub the SECTIONS with problems to another tape with new TC.
Then capture those sections from the dub.

Have two capture passes of the tape, one before midnight and one after.

Hi Stefan,
In the MODIFIE menu you got TIME CODE where you can change the TC of your media clips.
Cheers,

In the future (if you have any say in the matter) have the crew cheat on a night shoot by subtracting 12 hours when they sync multiple cameras.

Or you could tell the concert people they have to start at 10 am, not 10 pm.

Hihi..
what a rock concert that’ll start at 10am!!!….;-)
well the workaround we came up with was:
duplicate the QT file on the HD.
delete the timecode tracks of the copies and import the videos to FCP
drag the start TC of the original file (pressing “alt”) onto the 00:00:00:00 of the copiesand voila – i fooled FCP!!
not elegant though – i must confess…
thanx for the help!!!!
kind regardsstefam
