Jason…

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….*interesting*!

I always edit with wireframe + image turned on.

Thank you!

You’re the best…all of you.
Rennie…maybe what we think is happening isn’t what’s really happening, but if it looks like an elephant and feels like an elephant etc etc….

Here’s the bottom line. I’ve got a way to handle it now. I am going to copy the tape via firewire (I need time code. I can’t imagine not having time code.)… and I am going to thank everyone very very much. You can’t imagine what a relief it is to have a way to go with this program. It could mean a lot more work for us…

Best,
Sophie

Oh Walter…

You’re so cute when you reject my reality and insert your own. ;-))

Well Walter, it’s happened more than once. It might be the exact same information, but when I do any sort of speed manipulation, the footage gets soft. Capture Now footage also responds in a less than optimal way to other techniques, but it’s been so long since I’ve used it, I can’t remember what they were! I crossed it off my list a long time ago…. but hey…I’m here to learn…. and I’ll try it again on the advice of this forum….

Okay then, thanks very much for the advice!

But I will reiterate that my experience with Capture Now is very different from the way it’s supposed to be.
I can’t help it… it’s true.
And that’s why I was reluctant to just do that from the start.

I know what I have to do now, good people.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

rafalaos….

okay… so you’re saying use walter’s technique of capture now, then print to tape to generate new time code…

the question is, if I do that, will the soft footage stay the same or will it magically revert to how it would have looked if I had done a batch capture?

Thanks!

Thanks very much Walter.

I had hoped to avoid using Capture Now because in the past, footage has always looked soft when I used it.

Do you have any advice for me on that? I’m still using FCP 4.5.

If I copied the tape onto another DVCam, would the new tape have time code in proper sequence?

Hi Del,

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a thorough answer. I just wanted to make sure about a few things because there are literally hundreds of images involved and much time and effort will be spent on the project.

I think I see what to do now….

Happy New Year!

Dave and Chris,

Thank you so much for lighting my way. I’ve got to redo a lot of scanning now, but at least I know where I’m going and why.

Madre! I’m glad I asked at this point… and grateful for the guidance.

Sophie
