FCP should work just like EDIUS, which captures the whole tape, detects timecode breaks and assigns a new filname – on the fly, without wasting the time with preroll every time it finds a TC break.
As one can see from the dates of the previous comments, this has been an issue for many of us for a good couple of years. It’s 2010 now, and the official solution is still to avoid shooting with free run timecode. Appreciated.
