But did the timecode on the clip start at zero or did it have the code from free running code on camera?
In FCP-5 it seems to allow the capture on the hard drive it just makes up it’s own code. I want to have
the same code on the hard disk as the code on the tape. I appreciate your try. Andrew Flood

I am trying to do a poor man’s Focus Firestore. I intend to roll tape in the camera during an event but I am trying to simultaneosly digitize the footage. Since I will be in a fixed position I can set up the laptop and firewire drive. I am trying to avoid 6 hours of digitizing.
So I do have “Make new clip” selected. The timecode should not stop since it is on free run. I can see the timecode in the log and capture window when I select a firewire device in the “Device Contol” drop down menu. Time code goes away when I select “Non-Controllable Device”
Thanks for your idea. Apple does not seem to want me to do this.
