So I went out and shot again today, new tape…

came home and rewound it to the beginning again and captured. Once again, all into one large file.

I must have changed a setting since I shot the last working footage, anyone know what I could have changed on the camera to mess the timecode up?

I made sure I was at the beginning of the tape and I captured to FCP, the first day of footage that I shot, captured and logged correctly (recognizing all start/stops), however after that first day I manually cued the tape and the time-code started over for my next day of shooting. So, after capturing all footage from after that original day are lumped into one 30 minute clip. Any fix for this or do I need to use end search if I want to use the same tape next time or what?

Thanks so much David for taking the time to help me out.

I’ve tried 10 different settings now and FCP is still not auto clipping my footage at the stop/starts.

Even talked to a friend with the same setup as me and replicated his video/audio settings and it still didn’t autoclip start/stops for me.

Is there another setting within the program that I’m missing? I’m stumped….

Thanks for the help David, I just did another capture and again it didn’t recognize the start/stop points. Here were my settings…

I decided to use the ProRes codec and the raw footage captured very nicely. Is this the best way to be importing footage?

Thanks for the responses guys, I will leave the full suite on my main hd.

Can anyone answer my first question, I’m not quite sure which format to use to capture off of my Canon XH-A1 1080i 24f

Thanks again, great help on this site

Sure they’re aren’t technical solutions to artistic problems, but there are definitely settings to get the most out of your technology!

I purchased the newest version of FCS and I’ll probably be loading it either tonight or tomorrow when I have some time.

Very excited to see the difference.

Thanks for the responses guys I appreciate it. If you have any more technical tips for my setup let me know.
