Just fade DOWN the first clip with an audio fade effect or key-frames.

Then fade UP the second clip with its own separate audio fade effect or key-frames.

My answer is correct for recording the timecode coming from from one source onto a new tape with the same Video and TC as the original.

For instance, making a dub of a tape, including matching TC, is done this way.
That’s why there are external TC (In & Out) jacks on most pro decks.
The BVW-75’s external TC jacks are XLR connectors.

OTOH, if you just want to MATCH-EDIT to a TC already striped (up to a certain point) on the tape, both Avid and FCP (and most other edit systems) do use the deck’s TC generator and just provide the means to match the edit to the tape’s TC… at the edit point and following,

So, if it’s an ASSEMBLE edit, the deck’s own TC generator will actually be providing the TC while FCP provides the video and audio.

One of two things are likely:

A. The first clip ENDS and there is not enough “handle” to overlap into the next clip.

B. There is a glitch in FCP.
In which case, if you Trash the FCP Preferences, the feature should return to normal.

I’m really thinking “A” here.
Try laying the second clip on a separate audio track and fade it using key-frames.

You must connect the Timecode output from your video card/converter box to the timecode input on the deck.

Both units obviously must have those connections. They are usually BNC connectors.

Then, you must set the tape deck to “External Timecode.”

[kim s] “When I go to capture video from my Mini DV camera into Final Cut it acts like it is going to capture the video then I get a message that says:

“Dropped frames were detected during the last capture attempt”

Any suggestions on how to fix this?
“

Yes.
Stay away from Canon camcorders.

But seriously, folks…

Without knowing any more info (does it ALWAYS do this with ALL tapes? what kind of camera? was the tape shot on this camera? etc.) can’t offer too much help.

Generically, you might want to dub the original tape to a new DV tape with two units connected via FireWire, then try capturing only the new DV tape.

[CanadianGuy] “Is there a way to correct distorted audio in FCP 5 that was recorded at too high of a level? “

Sorry, but no.

Add some EQ and fiddle, but once the audio is recorded “clipped”, it’s damaged goods.

Add the Audio Filters > Apple > AUPeakLimiter and adjust the “Pre-gain” to any level you want.

You can key-frame the Pre-gain adjustment to match the audio clip’s needs.

I think you mean “Hearts and Flowers” by Theodore Tobaniby

Here’s a link to a very poor midi piano version to see if this is the song.

(Listen for a bit, the melody takes awhile to get going.)

I retracted because my advice was not as good as the advice given earlier.
