Hey Tom,
It may have been…but I’m still learning. I shot in HDV…was digitizing from a Sony deck we have…but didn’t realize that because we were shooting on a Canon XL-H1 that HDV won’t playback from the sony deck. It also won’t recognize breaks. I haven’t tried to digitize a full HDV tape from the camera since I figured that out, but I’m guessing it will work.
As far as not having handles. My workflow has been to subclip…then remove subclip bounds, but it keeps in and out points which give me all the handles I need.

I have the same thing with exporting still images. In AVID, you can customize export – JPEG at med quality…200×150…or whatever. It’s much better than “most recent settings” !!

Dan,
exactly the same workflow…capturing from HDV tape as one clip and then subclipping it out is a crappy workflow, but seems to be the only way to use FCP and HDV…
I’d love to chat more about some workflow things you’ve setup (keyboard, etc) coming from AVID.

I understand…it’s because of coming from a PC background. Tab on an PC AVID will do what I’m trying to do…I’m still trying to learn how all this works. It is much different!

I knew that shortcut…but it opens and closes those windows…I’m just looking for a simple toggle…
Those keys will make that window active…but if it’s already active, it closes the window…just a little clunky for what I’m wanting.

I reset my keyboard to default and Q is set to toggle windows (viewer and canvas…what I want is to toggle viewer and browser)
-
I’ve remapped Q to go to in…like my AVID editing days. What is the shortcut?

Hey Shane,
You mention log and capture…I’ve been shooting with a canon xh-a1 and while we’ll be getting a full size XDCAM soon, DV and HDV will be a part of my life for awhile.
RIght now my procedure is to capture tape because play…pause…play…rewind…play…set in, etc, etc…just doesn’t work nearly as smooth as my betacam days! 🙂
The deck I’m using right now is a Sony MVR-M15U. Are there any higher end decks that would roll DV tape more responsively?

did you ever find any solution to the *digital – choppy* scrub? I’ve been editing a ton of sound lately and the scrub in Final Cut is horrendous.

Hey Bob,
You always have great comments and knowledge. Can you answer a quick question along the lines of what you are discussing in this post?
I have a new HD monitor. Pushing HD out of my FCP timeline through a matrox mxo2 box through HD-SDI to the monitor. Is the cable I’d use for HD-SDI just a standard BNC RG-59 video cable that I’d have on any other of my AVID-Betacam equipment? Or do I need to get a higher end cable?
Thanks,
-Jason
