Dear Rafael,

Thank you for your kind respond.

I’m sorry this may sound stupid. But under “User Preferences” I have 5 tabs: General, Editing, Timeline options and Render Control. Non of these items mention any options about the “Timecode Break”.

Am I looking in the right place? Note that I use Final Cut Express and not FCP.

Thank you for your time,

Alexa

Hi,

I have the same problem capturing a tape. Final Cut Express gives the error: “Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved.”

However, when I play the tape everything is fine. I use a Sony HDR-HC7E to record the tape to Final Cut Express and it plays fine on that device. Is there a way to continue capturing even when Final Cut gives an error?

I already unchecked “Abort capture on dropped frames” but Final Cut Express still gives the same error when I try to capture. I also tried to capture from 3 other tapes and Final Cut Express continues to give the same error.

I could not find the Log & Capture tab to try and change the Device Control selection to Non-controllable Device in the Capture Settings tab. Is that option available in Final Cut Express? And if so, could someone please explain me where to find it?

And how can I turn off “Machine Control”. Could someone explain me where I can turn off “Machine Controle” please?

To capture the tape is very important to me because it is part of my presentation for Friday.

Thank you,
