What timecode did you record to on the tape?
What timecode are you telling edit to tape to start at?
Does the timecode on the tape go past the number you set as your IN on the Edit To Tape window?If the tape is FF and then you get the error can’t find TC on tape, FCP is not able to match the timecode IN to the timecode on your Digi Beta tape.
hope that helps,

Is your question, “Can you use the scopes in FCP to calibrate your 3 cameras during your actual shoot?” That sounds like a great idea, but probably not, unless you have a video switcher, and something like the AJA Io HD to capture straight to FCP on your laptop. Then you can put test clips on the timeline and compare between them using the scopes. That seems a bit expensive. I think white balancing as best you can and correct with Color.
all the best

Try clicking on Final Cut in the Dock instead of the open project windows then hit escape. That might help.

Just finished an HD project on travel medicine that had loads of our archived Asia B-roll originally shot in Beta SP from way back in the day. Footage was up converted on the fly using the Kona 3 to DVCPro HD into an XDCam HD 35VBR timeline. Even tho the archive footage was shot about 10 years ago it still held up well with no rendering before effects. And down converting to Digi Beta is easy too although we master to XDCam discs. Its one of the priciest, but Kona 3 is the way to go if you can afford it.

Have not heard of the problem you are having round tripping with Sound Track Pro.
Have you tried:
Logging off of FCP and SoundTrack Pro and removing the flash drive from your Mac, deleting your preferences, opening your last project from the Autosave Vault instead of your flash drive? I don’t know if you are working in FCP with the flash drive attached, that might be a problem. I would also only copy projects to another drive while logged off of FCP. That might not be a big issue, but that is what I prefer when I back up project files.Hope that helps,

You are running iMacs with an external Hard Drive for your media and render files? If so make sure all media and renders are on that external. If the noise sounds like the shreeek of someone taking a hatchet to your speakers at full volume, I have had luck deleting my audio renders and re-rendering it.
good luck,

I agree with Walter, OS first, Pro Apps next or together hopefully. I remember reading in Walter Murch’s book ‘Behind the Seen’ about some emails he had with Apple at the time regarding features that would be helpful to film editors and basically Apple’s reply was new OS first.
I talked with others at the Supermeet and FCPUG Booth and they were also disappointed about not hearing of upgrades to FCP. I did love that editing chair at the booth tho, but I didn’t win it.
