Wow. Glad to know that I’m not alone. I think the cameras were match up ok. What I have noticed is that the tapes that captured out of syc had one thing in common. After capturing I did a properties check and found that the audio rate was always off. Instead of 48k I was seeing things like 47671.23k 46373.10k, etc. I think that I will be able to muddle through, but based on the TC issues that you discovered, all hopes for multiclip editing are long gone. The isolated TC generator is a great idea for next time.
Thanks much,
