I have a Hi-8 camera, and if you play a regular 8 tape out, the camera will transcode to DV, but you won’t get any timecode.
So you have to capture as a non-controlled device when using a regular 8 tape in a Hi-8 camera.

You make subclips of all the section of master clips you want to use, and put them in their own bin. Then you randomize them and sort. Then you select them all and drag them into a sequence, where they will appear in the order you sorted them.

Does your word processor have a random word arrangement option?
Figure out how many clips you have. Then divide that by 6. For example, if you have 36 clips, the result would be 6.
Get six dice. Roll them. Add the number up, and type that in a comment field. Do this for every clip. Then sort by the column you put the random numbers.

Another thought: export a batch list, bring that into Excel, and in one of the blank columns, use Excel random number generator function RAND. Then save as tab delimited text, reimport, reconnect and sort by the random column.

If I had to do that, I might duplicate all the clips to a new folder, and then in Automator rename the duplicates using a random number generator, then pull them into a new bin and sort them by their random names.

Although some things in FCP can respond to Midi Machine Control, I don’t know of any way to control the app via rs-422.
Consider Virtual VTR, which lets you control a Mac and quicktime remotely:
-
Hold the option key while you drag the audio, and it will move in 1 frame increments.
-
Make a new sequence. Drag your edited sequence into the new sequence. This is one way to do “nesting.” Now that it is nested, you can place a filter (such as timecode generator) over the entire length of the show.

There are drivers from Sonnet for that card posted Feb 13, 2009, version 2.1.7. What version are you on?

You can add a button to the viewer window. Under Tools choose Button List. Twirl the triangle next to Modify Menu. Drag “make subclip” to the upper right corner of the viewer.
Now open a clip in the viewer, mark and in and out, and click that make subclip button, and you didn’t have to use Command-U. You used a mouse to make a subclip.
