Timecode Breaks

	Timecode Breaks by brian bradley on Oct 22, 2005 at 4:16:04 am I'm trying to capture footage off of a tape that has major timecode breaks. I've been unsuccessful in using the Capture Now option. Everytime I try capturing an error message pops up alerting me of the timecode breaks. Is there a way I can turn off this warning option and just capture with timecode breaks? Thanks Brian Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Better solution is to make a new copy of the errant tape. Connect any two DV units (camcorders or decks) via FireWire and just make a new dub of the old tape to a new one. The new copy will be "first-generation quality" but it will have a new continuous Timecode. Then, just capture from the new copy. Takes a bit more time this way, but having reliable TC can save you many problems in an edit situation. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Timecode Breaks by rajesh bhanushali on Oct 22, 2005 at 5:53:21 am Thats one way which Thax mentioned. The other way which I do , when i capture with timecode breaks is as follows Go to "User preferences" Uncheck the [Abort capture on dropeed frames ] option and [On timecode break:] option ;- switch to "Warn after Capture" instead of "Abort capture" Hope the same works for you too :) Regards.
