Problems during Import after Capture
The program that I captured is a DV Cam and I captured it off of a Sony DSR-1500A. The program was about 3 hours long. The problem that I’m having is that when I drag in the file onto the timeline the program is only about 46 seconds long. I feel like I’m missing a setting or check box. If you could help me out that I would be great. Thanks for the help!!!

Hi,
Did you do a capture now and were there any timecode breaks. Also check your captured movie file and see how big it is (i.e. MB or GB).

There were timecode breaks in the capture. And the size of the file was 39 GB. Thanks.

Hi,
Sounds like a damaged file. Does all the 3 hours of footage open in quicktime?
Unless anyone else can think of away around it. You may have to capture it again but do a capture now.
But one thing I do know, timecode break is not a good thing! Check the recorder heads on your camera.

Sure will.
It does play fully in Quicktime. I’ll check the heads of the deck we recorded on, I know they haven’t been cleaned very recently.
Thank you. -
Hi,
Going out on a limb on this one, but when you open it in quicktime and check the movie properties option. Is there a video, audio and timecode layer. Try deleting it and see how final cut copes with it.
Or resave the video file out of quicktime.

Oops! delete the timecode layer.
