Project re-capture timecode

[Greg Lewolt]

sorry, you cannot just correct the timecode, Vegas does not let you do that anywhere.

The re-capture does NOT work ok, you have to capture a new clip with the correct timecode in and outs, that you have written down, then replace the bad clip

So the answer I need is:
How to print a list of my tapes in my media bin with
clips and timecode in and out points, so I have the correct numbers and can make new clips, once my timecode is ruined by Vegas.

This is pretty basic, we need to recapture source video from time to time.
If this is not fixed, I’m sure not upgrading to Vegas 6, I’ll have to buy and learn a new program.

Interesting note:

I just re-captured tape 2 (out of 12)
three clips are bad and need to be re-captured

All three have new timecode numbers, inpoint at 00:47:00:00 instead of 00:09:00:00 and read as “smpte ebu 25fps, video
and 25pal
I’m using a sony dsr11, very clean deck, little tough to capture 70 clips fine and three as pal off the same deck randomly in the middle of the tape?

In Vegas 6, go to Tools->Scripting->Add TimeCode to All Media

This will add the actual tape time code to your clips. It will show in the lower right hand side of the monitor window. I just tried it by capturing clips from tape.

I tried that in vegas 5, and it does this as well.
But, I need a complete list to be printed out on paper so I can re-enter lost timecode data when Vegas distroys the origanal timecode during re-capture.
thanks, Greg

for future :
you might SAVE the vidcap file on all Vegas captured projects – then if V re-capture media doesn’t work you can use the vidcap file to recapture clips …

[Greg Lewolt]

Thanks, I did that.
Saved files are what I am using as my computer totally fried.
Built a new computer, and reloaded the saved project.

Now I’m stuck in a loop of re-capture where some of the clips get corrupted,and have to make new clips with the exact timecode in and outs, then “Replace the damaged clip.

Need: An answer as to Printing timecode in and out data with tape and clip data for a project.

Now I have to go through the advanced capture window BEFORE I try to re-capture clips and double click each clip to display the timecode in and out numbers, then hand write the numbers for thousands of clips for my feature film.

:Is there a way to print out this data?–Anyone?

thanks, Greg

The “Media Manager” has a search window that displays the list of clips and AVIs with the tape timecodes in and out. However I don’t know if it can be printed. Maybe experts on the media manager may help here.

Thanks, John,

5.0 does not display clip and timecode in and outs.
Does let me search and has a file result containing all the media, how to save and print?, I don’t know. If a way could be found in 6.0 , I’d upgrade, as I’m starting to do HDV content now.

Thanks for the input, I had not used the search before
