I know how to assign new TC to a clip, but without a painstaking process of manually looking for a good sync point on the clip and the tape to find what TC I need to manually put in I don’t know a better/faster way.
The biggest issue is that if my TC does not match exactly frame for frame what is on tape then I can’t imagine trying to get the footage re-captured from tape if the file gets corrupted or deleted. I already know the answer to that – “be sure to always back up your data”. Yes, but for us the video tape is the backup. File gets deleted? No problem. Right click, batch capture, insert tape, wait the capture time, done. If I don’t have matching TC then I would need to backup all of our footage daily, which is out of the question due to the amount of footage we have and the cost associated with that.
