Hi,
I could have sworn i've done this before but i guess it's been a while. Is there a way to custom set the time code when outputting using "Edit to Tape". Or is it dependent on your deck? I want to set it to 59:00;00 so my show will start right on hour one after bars/tone, slate etc. I can only find how to change the timecode on my timeline (which is currently 1:00:00;00).
My systems:
My deck is a Sony DHR-1000
(looked through manual, can't see where i can custom set time code)

that only allows one to change the time code for the timeline...i know about this one..i'm talking about outputting so when you lay down your bars and code, slate etc...it will start at 59 min...so your show can start at one hour.

Believe it or not, when you edit to tape, you are assembling or inserting your timeline to tape. Therefore, when you set your timecode to start at 59min, it will.

Use the black and code function in FCP's edit to tape window to black the beginning of the tape at your predetermined time code. Then do an assemble edit from your timeline.
I am not familiar with that deck...so it may not support this.

that's what i did....or tried to do...but how do you set a custom time code for the black and code function? I tried in the various windows of the edit to tape window (upper left and bottom left)....still started on the tape from 00. i'll try again....

Should be called TC preset on the deck.
isn't that one of the earliest DV decks sony made? I don't think that one can do an assemble edit. think it's the forerunner to the DSR30 machine. good transport not a great editing device

You cannot output timeline timecode via firewire to DV. Not for a long time. The DSR-11 allowed it with a hack, but that hack is long gone. You need separate deck control from video signal. So if you had a capture card and could output via Component to deck, with firewire control, it would work. But you can't do video and timeline timecode "assemble or insert" editing via firewire.

FCP 3 was capable to output tc from timeline to firewire, but after that it did not. You seem to have a PowerPC G5, so you could find a free software from web called SimpleVideoOut X. It will output tc from QT-file to firewire, IF your deck is capable to read and record it! With Sony DHR-1000 I am almost certain it will not work, it is a home video equipment and it will not understand external timecode.

To my knowledge FCP is still capable of outputting TC via Firewire. FCP 6 did this for DVCPro HD. Have not tested it in FCP 7 as I don't need it, but it was still there in 6.

I say I don´t know about DVCPro HD, I have never worked with one, but DVCam I know for sure that this is how things are. NO TC-OUTPUT for many years!
What goes with FCP 7, I don´t know that either, but I would be veryveryvery supriced if Apple had adopted that thing back to FCP.
