If possible I would like to use the JVC deck as a record AND playback device: I want to be able to burn DVD’s of my FCP sequences and also play discs on the JVC and capture them in FCP. As of now I can’t do either. When I launch the capture tool it states that there is “no communication’ and I get no picture. I think my settings are correct but I am no 100% sure:

device control – Firewire NTSC
Capture/Input – DVNTSC 48 khz
View / External Video – All Frames (I have even refreshed devices)

I have also power cycled the computer and reset the JVC deck.

It’s just what they called it at this shop where I worked. It’s also known as a glitch or anomaly.

Thanks, the ‘step by field’ command was really helpful. I was able to:

– isolate the bad field
– freeze the good frame that preceded it
– and then paste it over the following frame that contained the bad field.

Then I cropped the frame so that just the glitch would be covered up like a band aid. This obviously isn’t the ideal way to do this but I couldn’t figure out how to paint over the bad field properly. Do I use the paint effect ? And once I paint over the ‘bad’ part of the field how do I fill the patch with video from the ‘good’ field instead of just a color? It seems like under the Mode setting inside the paint effect I select erase or clone but neither seems to work. Or instead of the paint effect do I just use the scratch removal effect and if so how?
