Nice

[Mike J.]

But did you just log the whole tape as one clip and then batch it?

Because if you did, and you have make new clip on timecode break switched off, you’re still exactly where I said before, capturing over timecode breaks.

The end is still the same.

Go back to the original source tapes and see if the code changes/jumps throughout on starts and stops.

Next, turn on MAKE NEW CLIP ON TIMECODE break in preferences. Keep it on.

Try SHIFT+L

You’ve unlinked the timeline clips. It’s that little Green chainlink icon on the right above the timeline. click it on, or SHIFT+L to turn it back.

Something tells me you caputured you’re original clips with CAPTURE NOW instead of log and caputure.

EVERYONE…..DON’T EVER DO THIS!!!!!!!

Capture now will capture across timecode breaks and continue the previous code in ascending order.

Capture Now is not meant for professionals using timecode for recaptures.

I assume this is what happened in your case…so it’s not media managers fault…. it started with bad non matching code in the first place.

Solution is to…well…eyeball the online. you’re going to have to capture footage that is close to what you need and then lay it over the top of the old with opacity set under 100 to eyeball picture sync.

Here…if you apply the sound clip to the timeline and it has a green real time render bar above, final cut is applying a conversion on the fly to the 48048 (if that’s the data rate) making it 48….BUT this still means you have to change to 99.9 percent.

This means that your sound guy recorded and stamped at 48048. You could open audio files in another audio program and attempt to alter the audio stamp but not convert the sample rate.

If you’re applying it to the timeline and there’s no green bar and it’s not playing back slower, than he recorded and stamped it at 48 and stamped it 48.

Eiter way in these cases…you’re going to have to do the speed change of 99.9 % to maintain sync.

There was a mistake done in your process at some point.

[Mike J.]

Also, double check in final cut pro that the sample rate is truly stamped at 48 and not 48048. If he recorded at 48048 and it’s stamped as such…final cut WILL NOT do this conversion for you. The trick will not work.

And you are working in a 23.98 timeline and not 24 correct?

[Mike J.]

Is the sound early or later than picture?

[Mike J.]

Does the timecode on the actual digitized clip match the burnin timecode?

[Mike J.]

you just use the arrow/pointer…

move to the grey area above the track and mouse down and lasso all you need….

no modifier key needed.

There are more tools in the pallette that will select all track from the first on you select on down to the end… ahead of the track you choose…on one track….etc.

the ARROWS third down in the tool pallette ..
