I have had this on HDCam outputs, not SD digi. Don’t bother changing anything with your timeline, just trim one frame off the in time in the edit to tape window.
Moving your sequence is not a good idea as you will have a problem anyway if you need to do an insert. Make the trim in the edit to tape window.

Without a doubt the easiest way is to dub from the HDV tapes to a DVD recorder or VHS. Use the code display from the HDV deck/ camera to burn in TC. Don’t tie up an edit suite for this as BITC will require a render most likely.

Might be bad tape stock. You don’t have to have reference when editing to tape but it can help with RS422 timing. Otherwise the deck should lock to the input HD SDI.
Were you monitoring back off the record deck? If so and you saw did not hear this dropout, then I would suspect ape stock.

Editing HD without a card and external HD monitor sounds like a problem waiting to happen. I have a client that edits HDV without a card & monitor all the time and then we Media Manage her show onto my computer. The first thing we see is all the problems with slo mos and frame blending settings on an interlaced monitor. This is music video so there are lots of image manipulations that all need to be fixed on the final monitor. Most of her issues could be sorted in the edit room but instead she gets to pay me to do it on a proper monitor. Then we grade.
An alternative is to offline using DV and then online with a machine that can ingest via HD SDI and use either uncompressed or ProRes. This puts no strain on your laptop during editing and gets the best result later. Recapture can be faster than transcoding through Compressor.

[Rich Rubasch] “In Hawaii we called it a “pancake”.”
Sorry Rich but that name was appropriated years before to describe large spliced together cinema reels that feed horizontally off a large flat plate into a projector.
Never heard anyone call digi beta tapes anything but digi beta. Cruel to call anything by a food name during long sessions into the night.

My recollection from old cameras like the Bolex was that the image moved off with the lens rotate.
Keeping the image in frame is probably easier on the eye. It is more like video lenses changing over to a doubler.
Thanks for sharing.

Do share.

I would try splitting the clip, then a short dissolve to the same shot but with blur added. At the same time, keyframe move the image off screen right to left. On another layer do a move in from left to right with blur of the closer shot and then dissolve out the blur to sharp normal framed new shot. Might be worth adding a slight vignette to the edges of frame during the transition as well. If you are really game, a slight keyframed resize of the blurred moving shots might help.
Add some clunk sound effects (maybe record an old Bolex) and Bob’s your Aunty.
Might be a bit of a fiddle and anyone younger than 40 might not get it but could be fun.

I am not sure what you are actually trying to do but FCP is a rudimentary audio editing device. Don’t use it for this application.

Yes off topic, but Macdrive can be installed on the windows PC. I have used it for years to read any Mac formatted drives plugged into the PC. Then network that PC to the Mac.
Macdrive lets you share HFS drives that can then be seen over a PC and I presume Mac network. My Mac is set up for windows sharing in the preferences.
