Sounds like Drop Frame vs Non-Drop Frame timecode to me. He might be in Non Drop and you’re in Drop (indicated by the ; in the timecode).

Sorry… that was supposed to read:
Hit CANCEL when the dialogue box comes up… looks like a bug. Selecting CONTINUE erases the captured clip from the hard drive and starts all over again.

If you hit CANCEL instead of CAPTURE it will save your media and you might just have to recapture the last logged clip.

Most jitters are caused by the text moving at pixel per frame rates other than even numbers… 2 pixels per frame, 4 pixels per frame, 8 pixels per frame, etc… I build all of my rolls in Illustrator and Photoshop and animate them so they move at a set rate. Final Cut’s roll tool isn’t the greatest. Try After Effects or Combustion for a better look.

I’m having the same issues with our Blackmagic HD Pro 4:4:4 card capturing SD over SDI from a DVW-A510. It’s taken me twice as long to capture these clips. I’m getting phantom timecode breaks as well. I just updated to 5.0.2 and the problem still exists… I’m going to try trashing prefs and repairing permission, but I’ve learned not to hit

File -> Export using Quicktime Conversion -> Select MPEG 4 from Format dropdown menu and expect the render to take 5 times as long as the runtime.

Why don’t you take your mastered HDV timeline as source and drop it into a SD sequence for the center crop version?
I don’t know what editing system you’re on, but in Final Cut Pro, the workflow would be:
1) Edit native HDV
2) Create SD sequence (probably 10-bit Uncompressed)
3) Drag HDV Master sequence into SD sequence as source
4) Adjust DVE for Center Crop
5) Render and output SD sequence to tapeMatt Small

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the HVX-200a only has the tape transport for MiniDV to record Standard Definition. I think the only way to record HD is to the P2 memory cards. The way I figured it was you could get 9 minutes of DVCProHD 720p60 on one 8 GB card. Also, DVCProHD 720p60 runs at a data rate of ~14.4 MBytes/sec, ~4x the bandwith of DV25, but ~1/2 the bandwith of uncompressed 10-bit SD.
I would re-evaluate the use of this camera based on the limitations of the P2 cards and check out the Sony HVR-Z1U with Cineframe 3:2 pulldown in 1080i.
Sony Vegas and Final Cut both can edit HDV and the Blackmagic Decklink HD is able to display it to an LCD with the HDLink.
I would do some more checking on the HVX-200a and compare it to the HVR-Z1U that’s already available…

You need to have your project set up for four channel which is done by creating a four channel preset under User Preferences and Audio Outputs. Then, change your Sequence Settings under Audio Outputs to the 4 channel preset you just created. If you right-click (or control-click) in the space to the left of the track label, you can set which output channel each track goes to.
