Hi Shane,

I understand why P2 spans files across cards (I think) but I don’t get why it’s doing it with my FS-100, any ideas? And how do I resolve?

Hi Jeremy, the Seagate is my capture scratch drive and I’ve formatted it as FAT32

I have also clicked on the sproket in the L&T window and unchecked the ‘remove advanced pulldown and duplicate frames, this also doesn’t appear to work.

Yes I only needed the begining and end of clip A so I marked i/o points at the begining and added to queue and then did the same for the end, just like the tutorial said I could.

But then only the first i/o from clip A transferred over to my bin and the second one refused.

I was transferring files over fine before this and had logged and transferred several clips.

I’ve since deleted the content file from my hard drive including the last clip.txt doc and re-imported from the FS-100 then tried to re log and transfer, still no joy. The clip has a half circle by it, indicating I’ve part transferred it and it also has the word Spanned in brackets next to it, what does that mean?

It’s no big deal it was just a test anyway, but I’d quite like to know what I did wrong, I’ve watched the Shane Ross tutorial all the way through a few times and can’t find the answer.

Many thanks

Thanks Terry, I’m really new to all this though so you’ll have to bare with me.

How do I check the sample rates and how do I make sure the timeline matches? And how do I ensure that I stay matched in the future?

Thank you.

As far as my QTs are concerned I shot them a bit haphazardly and have since taken your advice and got a bit more organised with my files on the FS so that they now record in P2 which I then organise.

The QTs and now the imported P2s both seem to have the same problem, I’m guessing it’s an easy answer but I don’t know it, the problem is that they have audio in the browser and I can hear them perfectly, but as soon as they’re on the timeline the audio, whilst appearing to be there, can’t be heard. The level meter on the right is not doing anything either.

I have experimented with leaving all audio tracks switched on and with just 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 switched on, also with locking thme.

Once again, many thanks guys. You’re right Shane I was just trying to learn by doing but I should have stuck with the manual for longer; I am trying to get over my manualphobia and with the help of COW I’m sure it will happen soon :-).

Thanks very much for your time on this.

Sorry it’s all new to me, still trying to absorb information. I set the settings to DV48k and that seemed to solve my capture problems.

many thanks for your time.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your speedy answer, just to clarify when you say the drive should be plugged into the Mac, I’m guessing you mean my external? If so it is plugged into the Mac.

If you’re talking about the Firestore I’ve tried plugging it directly to the Mac to no avail.

Sorry I’m showing my ignorance here again, I thought that DVC Pro was just the way that the camera handles a normal mini DV tape. I then set the settings (I think) to 50i and the cam was set to DVC Pro so I assumed I was shooting on DVC Pro 50i.

“Does it work if you switch to the regular DV presets?”

I think I’ve tried them all, but will try again.

thanks
