Version 6 Time Code bug?

[Barbara Ballow]

What I have learned this morning is that using the Apple Intermediate Codec to capture HDV source material seems to be the culprit here. I understand why the assitant used the codec; but can you use it and still capture source tape time code?

[Barbara Ballow]

This is the end of the story. I am recapturing in the
native HDV format.
Thanks to all.

Sorry to hear all about the pain you had.. but I think you are doing the best thing possible.

Good Luck!

I Have the same problem, but i´m in Pal land, so drop frames is not the issue here.

I have 20 captured XDcam-discs, recorded in IMX50m 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.

Any ideas?

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

Two things for ya….

First, how did you capture your XDCAM IMX50 into DV, unless you use the deck like an HDV deck. I would suggest that you use the Sony Presets for XDCAM. This will solve your issue with breaks. DV is notorious for timecode issues, if its not setup properly.

Secondly, if all of your footage is XDCAM IMX50, then edit in XDCAM IMX50. Its really silly to dumb down your footage when the file sizes are very close.

“

I can see your frustration. Do you still have the XDCAM discs in hand? If you do, and I know you’re not going to like this BUT…. recapture everything in the Sony XDCAM IMX50 setup.
