  • Timecode´s gone after capture

    Hi Everyone

    Wierd Thing. I have 20 captured XDcam-discs, recorded in IMX50 (50i) but captured via Firewire in DV-codec (Don´t ask me why), 5 of the disk have dropped the timecode on every clip (now starting on 00.00.00.00)

    There´s no timecode breaks on the discs, and though the audio is recordet in 48Khz, FCP is warning me about different audio samplerate.

    I´m in Pal land, so drop frames should not be the issue here.

    Any ideas?

    Setup: Imac 24″ 3.02, 4Gb ram – FCP 6.0.4 -2TB Stardom disk raid

    Jacob,

    I had a similar problem when I upgraded from FCP 5 to 5.1. I digitized via Kona 2 from DBeta and then the timecode would reset to zero on the clips. I ended up trashing the preferences and that stopped the problem from happening again.

    Hope that helps,

    Jamie

    FCP 6.04
    OS 10.4.11
    Kona 2
    XRaid
    Dual 2.5 G5 (Intel hopefully coming soon…)

    I have intermittently run up against this problem digitizing all kinds of stuff.

    My solution has been to cry a little, and then digitize it again. That usually works.

    AFAIK, its just FCP being stupid.
