Re: ProRes 422 or HDV 1080/60i?

I'm sure it's in the Log & Capture settings if you really want to do that. Play with it & see.

Personally, I LIKE it when FCP gives me separate clips. I can sort by time code so everything's in chronological order, and it's easy to week out bad takes, bad shots, etc.: it saves a ton of storage. I also get to decide if I want to keep two equally-good takes.

Try that if you capture one big, long, cumbersome clip. You'd need to use Media Manager. And you'd lose those just-as-good takes unless you toss them into a timeline you made just for the purpose.

Eventually, you'll have no choice in the matter, anyway: card-based footage always comes in as individual shots during Log & Transfer. You might as well get used to it.
