Thanks, the check box did it. I had overlooked that on my first attempts.
Much appreciated.

Hi Mike, I came across your post as I’m struggling with getting the metadata from Resolve into the MXF file for Avid use. In particular the Tape field.
I keep putting the cam pack name in both the Reel and Roll.Card fields in Resolve but both the Tape field and Cam Roll and Reel# in Avid is empty after I bring the file in.
What is the proper workflow for this? If you don’t mind.
Thanks in advance.

Resolve 9.1 and Avid 7.0

Thanks guys.
I can do stop motion with the HVX by itself, I was trying to use software to get the onion-skin feature.
The software records frames to the disc. I just couldn’t get the video out through the firewire port.
But sure the still camera is a great idea.

I guess I never looked at it from that angle. You’re right, that is an affordable solution.

I still would like to know what component to DVI converters would work.

Thanks for your idea!

I’m actually using a Decklink card from BlackMagic, but I’ll send a link too.

Wow, wow, wow!
I tried your idea of conforming the newly captured clips before running them through compressor. It worked! I tried a handful of other clips to make sure I wasn’t just lucky and they all work. I went back to my old workflow to prove it and the old workflow without conforming in CT does indeed give me the wrong Media Start and End times.

Thank you so much. I would never have thought to do something so seemingly redundant.

I think this should be elevated to Apple’s FCP team. Anyone with direct connections please!

Best regards,
Erik Lundmark

Really, that’s bizarre!
My error says Media Start and End is different, not the Reel.

I’ll try your idea of conforming the media once it’s captured tomorrow.

Thanks so far for your patience,
Erik

Hmm, I’m sure what you’re saying is good. I’m afraid I’m not really picturing it in my mind.
Here’s what we need to accomplish: capture HD source to DV 23.98, apply watermark to all clips, reconnect all clips to watermarked media instead of clean media, send it all off to a trailer house.
I can’t have any layers with watermarks floating around that the editor could remove.
This is all about having a visual “property of…” stamp on all video clips.

I tried to apply the watermark on the timeline in FCP, save out a new clip and reconnecting it to the offline clip, but that just strips out any timecode info regarding Media Start and End. It simply starts at 00:00:00:00.

try explaining again, thanks,
Erik

Yes true, but we have 5000 clips to do in each batch. Too much manual labor I’m afraid. I’ll try to experiment with some kind of automation. I’ll keep you posted.
Thanks for your input.
