Is your Mac audio “muted”?
Is the audio on the Mac (or QT Player) turned down?
Can you hear iTunes playing an y kind of audio?

[Danrnw] “I was just wondering if when the DSR 570 deck
was recording, would that give me timecode out as well, via firewire,
and not have to set FCP to “uncontrollable deck”?
“Should work fine.

It would be much better to record the VHS to a DV tape first, then capture the DV.
A digital TBC/FRAMESYNC can help, as you suggested, but if you don’t have access to a pretty GOOD one, dubbing to DV would help.

Look HERE:

And HERE:

They offer further confusion.
Best to check with whom you are dealing.

There must be an Echo Echo Echo Echo Echo in here 😉

You can’t do this if you are capturing via FireWire.
If you have certain brands of analog capture cards, they have the software for making the input controls operate in FCP.
Otherwise, you either need an outboard ProcAmp (or TBC) or just make your adjustment IN the FCP edit.

Well, here’s a doozie of a workaround.
1. Note the TIMECODE number of the first frame of the clip.
2. Open a NEW empty timeline.
3. To it, Edit the ENTIRE CLIP (end to end) for which you want to globally add the filter.
4. Put the cursor the FIRST frame of this timeline.
5. CHANGE the timecode of the TIMELINE to the exact same number as the first frame of the original clip.
Sequence (menu) > Settings > Timeline Options > Starting Timecode:6. Apply the filter(s) to this timeline.
7. Export the Timeline.
File (menu) > Export > Quicktime Movie… > Current settings. Audio and Video. Check the box: MAKE MOVIE SELF-CONTAINED8. The timeline will export with the same TC as the original clip (starting to get it??)
9. Now locate this new Export on your disk.
10. Locate “Capture Scratch” folder for current project.
11. Drag this Exported QT movie into that capture folder.
12. Locate the captured file for the ORIGINAL clip. It will have the same name that you gave it when you captured it.
13. On the original file, CHANGE its NAME slightly (add a “2” or similar).
14. NOW… Change the name of your QT Export to the EXACT ORIGINAL name of the file you just added the “2” to.
15. When you go back to FCP, the media of the original clip will now be “Offline.
Choose to “Reconnect” and BANG, all of the clips from that file will NOW have the filters on them (and they WON’T need to be RENDERED!)This is a lot easier and faster to do than it takes to describe it.
Please post back if you have any questions.

It can be a lot more serious than that.
Every time the TC starts over, the deck/FCP may “think” it is at the head of the tape…
every single time.And its likely that YOU won’t know either after so many tapes.
In a large project with many tapes you are much safer to “DUB to another tape” for continous TC.
Even if you ON-LINE high res NOW, if you need to make any changes in the future… it may be nearly impossible to locate WHICH “00:43:02:00” you are looking for on a tape with THREE or FOUR of that same TC.

Oh, I gotcha.
Those I’ve always called “On-Cams” or “Talking Heads” but its jargon so when you type them you might want to use the “quotes” to make it a bit easier to understand.
Sorry to say my workaround… WON’T! (It was a really GOOD IDEA, too… Oh, well!)
BUT..
If you’ll just go through the timeline and drag all of that camera’s shots to their own video layer (hold down the SHIFT key as you do it, so the clip won’t “slide”), it will be MUCH faster to then select all the shots on that layer and apply the filter to them all at once. -
Pardon me, but I don’t know what a “on” camera is.
Regardless, I’m doing an experiment right now on FCP to see if my workaround is valid.
I’ll get back to you soon.
