Thanks for the help guys… well everything was going ok. capture went fine. previewing my clips – ok! But now when i render the timeline to view my sequence… it gets all hung up and i have to force quit Final Cut…. the time line is 30 minutes long with about 8 minutes renderend.

any suggestions get a little more out of my machine… i shrank down the viewer and canvas windows to 12% and it seems to run a bit better, but they are soooo small.

i don’t under stand why i can preview a 5 min clip in the viewer just fine but when i put it in the timeline and render, it won’t play without shrinking down the windows?

Hi shane,

i have already captured about half of the material (12 hours) in HDV… can i capture the rest in DV and mix the two formats on my timeline? i am thinking it would be safer to stick with what i started with… suggestions?

thanks for tips guys!

yeah thats the thing… i don’t have that option on my clip settings. I am using FCP 5… perhaps that option is only on the update???

i changed my preferences to “warn after time code break,” but is is more of the same thing. It keeps breaking my clips into a series of small clips.

thanks guys… but i don’t think they are time code breaks. this is happening with out any pause or stop in the camera and i have been monitoring the image with timecode on my sony HDV deck HVR-M10 and it looks seamless.

could it be that the firewire drive isn’t keeping up with the capture?

I am really stumped… I’ve never had this problem with SD.

so, i started my capture over… and this is what is happening:

when FCP goes to capture “Clip John Doe_27” it starts breaking it into:

Clip John Doe_27-1
Clip John Doe_27-2
Clip John Doe_27-3

and so on and so forth. anyone know what is going on here?

Also, I am capturing HDV under the Easy Set up setting
