[Barbara Santi] “not sure what you mean – Ive shot the 30 mins interview in HD digitising with applprores (hd) as I always do…just did exactly the same a few days ago with no prob…”
What I mean is that if you are setting IN and OUT points for capture, when you hit “escape” you just abort the capture. You end up with no clips captured.
If you are using “Capture Now”, when you hit “esc”, the footage captured is saved.
Yours sound like a tape problem.
As Shane points, set the OUT point earlier, or use “Capture Now” and “escape” before reaching the troubled area.
Tapes, don’t get “corrupted”, but a simple jump in TC may lead to those headaches.

thanks – have sorted it out now by bringing in in chunks – yes I think the tape / timecode has something to do with…
thanks
