Hi thanks for you response – i know it’s not ideal – but i’m outputting to a PD 170 camera – it does do the black thing – it can accept timecode from FCP – it just always starts it at 00:00:00:00 – i still don’t get why i don’t get the extra window as outlined in the Edit to Tape free tutorial on the site. it would seem that if i could just tell it what timecode to start – on the fcp system itself – all of this would work out –
i was able to sync the timecode but reworking my timeline so it could match up to a 00:00:10:00 – i just can’t do it the way the guy suggested. also i don’t get why the extra 2 frames?
