Dan,

exactly the same workflow…capturing from HDV tape as one clip and then subclipping it out is a crappy workflow, but seems to be the only way to use FCP and HDV…

I’d love to chat more about some workflow things you’ve setup (keyboard, etc) coming from AVID.

Happy to. Why don’t you e-mail me offlist so we don’t clog up the system.
dan.monro@turner.com or dmonro@mac.com. I still work on both systems, and I still like things about Avid better, but I definitely prefer FCP for that actual cutting part.

E-mail me, we’ll talk…

HDV capture from tape should be breaking the shots at each shot change. Is that not working for you? Are you subclipping down further from that? Probably not a good workflow as you may cut it too tight and then it’s a pain to remove.

All the best,

Tom

Hey Tom,

It may have been…but I’m still learning. I shot in HDV…was digitizing from a Sony deck we have…but didn’t realize that because we were shooting on a Canon XL-H1 that HDV won’t playback from the sony deck. It also won’t recognize breaks. I haven’t tried to digitize a full HDV tape from the camera since I figured that out, but I’m guessing it will work.

As far as not having handles. My workflow has been to subclip…then remove subclip bounds, but it keeps in and out points which give me all the handles I need.
