No, I said Print to Tpae, not Edit to Tape. I am familiar with the two and I know you cannot use Edit to tape without having a tape blacked with timecode. Also, it depends on what VTR. HDV cannot use Edit to tape, thus PTT as recommended by others.
Everything in to out as HDV 1080i and it goes through its Conform process at the end before going out to tape. The only thing I can maybe see is I had Sony Beta as the device and not Sony HDV as you mention. I wonder why the Aja tech did not mention anything when we went through everything together.
I am not at the system. I am hoping to hear from someone who is using the same setup with the LH and the Sony 1800 and know exactly what settings I should use in FCP and Aja.
I just spoke to my editor (I am not there today he is not a tech type person) and I am thinking he should start using AIC or DVCproHD when he captures. He just started a new propject and captured five hours, so it will wait till the next project. I think this might help get rid of some problems he has and the Conform process.
Thanx,
Gary
