  Panasonic mini-DV — Broken Timeline

  Posted by Prochris on October 7, 2006 at 8:16 pm

  Hey all at Creative Cow
  First post here
  I don’t know how many teenagers there are on here, but take me seriously please!

  I’ve been having a problem capturing from a Panasonic mini-DV camcorder.
  Well, it captures fine, but I’m working between a laptop and a pc, only one of which has enough capturing and editing power, so I’m going the batch capturing route. The problem is that, when I scan through the camera to find the IN and OUT points for each clip, the tape’s timeline sometimes starts back from zero, or even some other random number (all 7 of the tapes have this problem). As I’m sure you can imagine, this makes entering the IN and OUT points into PP2 impossible, as if there are two 00:12:15:24 for instance, it will always choose the first one, because it’s the only ‘official’ one. I’ve heard from some old posts on this forum, that there is a way to fix it by using the ‘blank run’ option in the menu, but this didn’t do anything.

  Whew, that was a bit long
  If anyone could help me with this problem I’d be really grateful.
  Thanks, Chris

  I’m lost…
