The hard drive is setup to record to P2 format not Quicktime. When I have added TC to the hard drive footage I can not remove it from the footage. So I recorded to the HD in P2 format with no TC and added TC through the TC Generator in FCP 7. This footage was initialy imported into FCP 5 from the HD. Since I have upgraded to FCP 7 I am editing them there. These files are currently stored on my scratch drive which is an 8GB Drobo drive connected through FireWire. I have a backup unit and I am saving to a server which is backed up every night.
the reason for the TC is so a manager can review and tell me what parts of the footage he wants edited and made into a video.
Thanks again!

These files are coming off of a Focus Hard Drive on the Panasonic camera. This is how Focus documentation says to bring them into FCP. If there is a better way I am very open to it. I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, so I am open to all of the help I can get. I have gone through Larry Jordon’s training on FCP5, but did not see anything on transfering files. I just installed FCP 7 so I have not had the time to go through his FCP 7 training.

The files were imported using Import & P2. I did use the TC Generator. John

I am adding only a Time Code to raw P2 footage. I am rendering to “Using QuickTime Conversion”. Thanks for your help.

Thank you so much. Was in the manual somewhere? Or was this one of those “undocumented” features? 🙂

I am sorry for just now responding. I was out of town last week. Because this is a quad-core with 6.5GB RAM I don’t know why I should replace the system. The codec is DV/DVPRO – NTSC. I am not getting any errors. It is just slow. Thanks.

Thank you. I will start doing that. Anything to speed things up!

That wasa to simple. I called myself looking through the internet, but could not find it. I inherited this MAC and the help menus do not work so I went straight to the internet. Thank you so much for your help!!!! And quick to!!!!

I deleated the render files and the auto-render files. Same problem. Because of the pressure from the top I had to start rebuilding the file. I would still like to figure out a way around this issue if a way exists. Thanks for your help. Let me know if you think of anything else.

Dave, Thank you for your rersponse. The original is a series of about 40 clips that I edited down to this smaller version. The original does not have the time code, but I was trying to keep from having to edit all of the clips back down to where I was just before I added the TC. I added the the TC in FCP by selecting Effects/Video Filters/Video/Timecode Generator. I then saved the project as an FCP Project File. When I try to remove the TC as I mentioned in my original post nothing happens. Thanks again for your help!
