scene detect
hi all,
i’m new to apple world and i’m heading probably simple problem in FINAL CUT PRO. when capturing data from DV tape i don’t know how to save all scenes separatly, dus not in one file.
in menu USER PREFERENCES i’ve chosen>> on timecode break: make new clip.
but it still saves data in one file.
i’ve checked the same camera and tape with other pc and adobe premiere, there scene detect works so the camera is OK.
thanx for any advice,
peace,

DV start stop detect will scan your clip and place markers each time the camera was stopped and restarted.

From the Manual (Page 284 Part IV Logging, Capturing, and Importing)
To break a long DV clip into subclips based on starts and stops:
1 Capture a long clip from a DV tape containing several starts and stops.
Note: If you’re capturing the contents of an entire DV tape, make sure that the “On timecode break” pop-up menu in the General tab of the User Preferences window is set to Make New Clip, to ensure that no timecode breaks are captured. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 23, “Choosing Settings and Preferences.”
2. Do one of the following:
Select the clip in the Browser.
Open the clip in the Viewer.3 With the Viewer active, choose Mark > DV Start/Stop Detect.
Note: If you have any exceptionally long clips, you can break these up further by adding a few more markers manually. For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 4, “Using Markers.”
4 Switch the Browser to list view and locate the clip you were working on in the Viewer.
For more information, see “Choosing Views in the Browser” on page 61.
5 Click the disclosure triangle to view the clip’s markers.
If you want to give any of the markers a more descriptive name, simply click the marker in the Browser, then click the marker’s name to select it. You can now change the name.6 Drag in the Browser to select all the markers.
7 Choose Modify > Make Subclip.
Note: If you gave your markers new names, your subclips will use them.
The subclips appear in addition to the original clip with the markers. You can rename the subclips, if you want. You can review the subclips, deleting any clips you might not need. If you do remove unused clips, you can use the Media Manager to remove your unused footage from disk, leaving the media for your remaining subclips alone. For more information, see Volume IV, Chapter 7, “Overview of the Media Manager.”
You can access the Manual at any time directly from FCP’ Help Menu … its always a good place to start looking for the answer as its fully indexed and serachable
