Yeah, that’s kind of what I was looking for.
It’s a little limited in that you can’t move them around
and resize them I guess?, but it’s better than nothing.
thanks -
That’s too bad…I really like to be able to track all
my sources at the same time…Oh well. -
Does this plugin let you track multiple timecodes at the same time or just one?

Hi Walter
We are trying to fit this job into our existing facility storage. We have many rooms (both Avid and FCP) working on many different jobs sharing the same Terrablock so file sizes and bandwith is an issue. If we can edit in a codec that is one 7th (or whatever it is exactly) the size of uncompressed without being able to see the difference then we would like to try it.
We have been using Avids DNXHD codecs for a while with good results. I’m pretty sure the quality of ProresHD is good enough for the network, I was more interested in the stability of the codec and workflow issues. -
Could you give me some examples of characters to stay away from?
thanks -
So freeze frames don’t have a time code attached to them in FCP?
I am going to be conforming a 26 part series in a few weeks. What happens when they do a freeze frame? How do I redigitize this?
Are slomo shots going to be a problem? Any other things to watch for from an Online editing point of view? -
Actually we’ll be using 3 Cams…yikes.
Good to know what we’re getting ourselves into in advance.
Thanks for your advice. -

What is causing it to be so slow? What deck are you using?
RS422 control? Is this a limitation of FCP in general?
We have been doing this for years on avids with no problems other than when there is a loss of tc for a few seconds or when the camera guys start and stop rolling within a couple of seconds and there’s not enough pre-roll.
Having to log and capture would add a ton of time to our digitizing sessions so if there’s any way to avoid it that would be nice.
Why the headaches if it’s logged already? -
OK, yeah that makes a lot of sense.
One other question (ok maybe more than 1).
We were hoping to digitize the stuff
without logging it first – just hitting record and letting
FCP make the new clips at the tc breaks (free run tc).
Can we do this accurately in FCP at 23.98?
If the clips are renamed in the bin after capture will it pose a problem linking back to the actual quicktime media?
thanks -
Oh I almost forgot. The offline editing would be done at another
company’s location. The captured media would be transfered from the capture drive to their RAID. We were thinking that redigitizing the final sequence would be quicker and easier than having them consolidate their media back onto a transfer drive to send back to us since they are not too technically inclined over there.
