Are you sure you are importing HDV material selecting the HDV fire-wire in your camera?
Since the camera can shoot DV and HDV material, you need to switch the fire wire on HDV.
In what kind of HDV format did you shoot?

Thanks Gary,
but I’m not finding the “make new clip on TC break” in the User options.
Where is it exactly?

Thanks Shane,
you have been very kind.

I hope with this to find a solution… and off course a budget to afford it!

Thanks again

when I had to capture the footage I rented a JVC HD-BR50E,
but I immediately realized that there was a problem with time code brakes anyway.

I thought that Kona card was just an analog capture card…
does it work with FireWire too?

Thanks Shane,
It is scary work with no time code… but for now to me it seems to be the only way to have it done.
Unfortunately FCP doesn’t stop just when I pressed stop during the shooting, but also when it gets into a dropped frame. I don’t exactly know why, but I know it’s a problem that happened to many other JVC GY-HD100 users.

So, If I understood right, FCP 5.1.2 does work with the JVC GY-HD100… right?
…It’s not a bug of the software that creates those problems.

Hi Gary,
actually I knew about the FCP pre-roll, but the thing is that it takes every TC gap as the end of the clip, and it does it often.
In the beginning I thought it was a camera play-head problem, so I started to use a JVC deck… but it happens anyway. So I guess it’s a TC break problem.
Does Final Cut has a setup where you can disable this behavior?
Like… don’t close me the clip any time there is a missing frame, please!

Thanks Gary for the help
