timecode capture issues
I’m trying to capture some footage but it is constantly stopping saying it is trying to locate the timecode break. I do not know how this footage was shot. I can’t tell by looking at the footage why there is a timecode break. It does not look like the camera was turned on/off. Is there a way to work around this and just capture as is?

Hi Apple Annie,
Try in the Users prefferences, and uncheck “Abort capture on dropped-frames”. A bit futher down set: “On Time-code breaks..”: Warn after capture. If you keep having problems, just put in play your device and hit the button “Now” in the Log & Capture window.
salud,

I recently started Log and Capture of my first reel (of 7) and have discovered many TC breaks. After each break the time code goes back to zero. I can capture it all, but I am working on a long documentary and I am afraid that after I have my sequences done, FCP will not give me the correct shot since there will be several scenes with the same TC. I read on another post that the best thing to do is transfer this reel and maybe others to new tapes which will generate new timecodes and new reel numbers. Is this the best and easiest way? If I don’t have 2 cameras, can I capture everything and then export it to a tape from FCP and will that still generate new T.C? Must I put it all on a timeline first? Any suggestions?
