Turning off Scene Detect in 5.1

[Tom Wolsky]

Is there scene detect for DV on capture? I thought it was only on HDV. Maybe it occurs on downconverted HDV as well. There should be a toggle for this in clip settings in log and capture, but it may not work for all cameras.

All the best,

Tom

For DV, FCP only does scene detection after capture. You have to select the “DV stop/start detection” in the Mark menu to use it. For HDV, I don’t think it can be turned off. I think it has something to do with the way the GOP structure changes at the head of each new shot.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have only tried HDV with FCP5.1 so I didn’t know the capture options were different from DV.

It seems like I will have to live with the automatic scene detect behavior, and replace the clips on the timeline manually.

The clips I have were logged and captured as downconverted DV, then edited onto a sequence in a different NLE. I had he project ported into FCP for HDV capture.
