"Capturing drop-frame media into a non-drop frame clip" error message

I've logged tapes from what will partly be a 3-camera multi-clip project, and have begun to batch capture.
Logged all but one tape some weeks ago, and captured one tape at the time.
Went to batch capture the balance, today. First tape capture went fine. On trying to capture the next tape in the batch I'm getting this message as FCP begins the process:
WARNING: You are about to capture drop-frame media to a non drop-frame clip. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.
In analyzing the situation, the only reason I can think of for the error message is that some of the reels were logged on a DSR-11 that had been set to NON drop-frame, and for which I didn't have the remote control to change the setting.
I haven't run into this while capturing other clips, but those may have been captured via a different deck that does only drop-frame.
So, I'm looking at next steps:
1: Capture anyway and possibly regret that I did that.
(One person on another list reported the same problem, that he had ignored it without any obvious complications.)
2: Relog all the problem clips using my current deck, speeding up the process by using the "go to" window to drive the tape to the existing in and out points and then marking i/o's...
Or...
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Ted.

We've been seeing this stupid error message since v3 and it's never mattered in the slightest. It is always incorrect, anyway. The clips are always drop and the sequences are always drop. It's an FCP programming glitch/bug/screwup. Someday they may or may not fix the mechanism that triggers the warning.

  • Drop-frame media to a non-drop frame clip?

    Hello,
    Maybe it's not my night and I should just go to bed! In any event, upon batch capture I receive the following warning:
    Warning: You are about to capture drop-frame media to a non-drop frame clip. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.
    All the clips were logged via a DSR-11 using drop-frame (all the clips, 13 in all, have a semi-colon). Nothing has changed on our set up, we are strictly DV. Searched and so an earlier thread some months back but no additional insights? Any clues?
    Mike

    hello mike,
    it is possible you are the victim of deck settings.
    some decks (including the DSR-11, i believe) have a menu setting that can force the deck to output DF or NDF regardless of what was recorded on the tape.
    it is possible that the deck was set to do this when you logged (and it isn't now), or it is set to do this now (and it wasn't when you logged).
    so ... first see if you can find this in the menu of the deck. it will be called something like "DF mode" or TC mode or somesuch. make sure its off (so that it gives you what is actually on the tape).
    then capture.
    if you haven't used these clips anywhere, you should be able to ignore any warnings and take what you get of the tape.
    hope that helps.

  • I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    I have never updated ios on my iPhone 4.  I am currently running ios 4.  I tried to update yesterday to ios 6 but many hours into the backup I got an error message saying that continuing would cause all of my phone contents to be lost. What should I do?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

    Maybe it's set as a login item:
    - System Preferences: Users and Groups:
    - Highlight your user account in the left pane/list
    - Click "Login" tab at the top.
    See if you have an Automater action on the list
    - Note, you can select it, then right-click, and can then select "Reveal in Finder". That way you might have an idea what installed it.

    You got it downloaded and I assume you mean it is installed as well.  It was buggy for me.
    I had to close and restarted iTunes before I could use it properly.
    Then, I had to unplug and replug in my phone before it recognises it.
    Just had to try everything.  As final choice, update over the air.  I try to avoid it as it tends to have more problems than a tethered update.

  • Drop Frame being read as Non-Drop Frame

    Hey,
    I'm working in FCP HD 5.1.4 and our guys are shooting audio at drop frame, and video at drop frame, and yet when we import the media into FCP, the Video is in Drop frame, but the audio appears to be Non-drop so we're getting BAD sync (some clips 30 seconds, others up to a min.). We're using TOD T/C and it's really important that we convert it cuz we'll shoot 8 hr days, and the first few clips arn't that bad but after so many hours, the sync gets worse and worse.
    We're using XDCAM Sony PDW-1500 deck for the video transfer and the audio is BWFs from an external Audio receiver, then it's backed up on lacie drives (prob using compressor) then we're syncing in FCP.
    Any thoughts?
    Fraser

    FraserPost, according to Apple in the Late-breaking FCP news PDF on pg.4, Broadcast Wave Audio Files imported will always be interpreted with non-drop frame TC.
    Highlight the clip in the bin, choose Modify Menu option and choose Timecode. You can then change it to drop frame in the options panel.
    Then your material should synch up.
    For future reference but still notable, if you import an aiff, mp3 or another type of audio file without TC, the file will create TC dictated by the Sequence preset setting. This I found out the hard way. One has to shut down FCP and start it up again for the change to take effect on material imported.

  • All my itunes files are visible but none will play. Error message file cannot be found

    All my track file names and other details are visible in Itunes but none will play. single click on a track and an exclamation mark embeds at the front of the track name bar double click or click play and the error message I get says, "The song  could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? A search doesn't find it.
    This applys to every track on itunes but music files in the music folder in Finder still play.  Can anyone Help please

    Is it possible that you moved the iTunes Media folder using Finder (or renamed something along the path)?  The reason this happened is because iTunes cannot find the song files where they were previously located.  However, you know where they are located (in the "music folder," so you can find the files using Finder and play them.
    That you need to do is to put the files back where they were previously located.  If you need to change the location of the files, you can use iTunes to move the files, so that iTunes can keep track of their new locations.  This article provides instructions

  • Media Encoder not encoding files?  No 'error' message.

    So I've never had a problem with the media encoder until about a few weeks ago when I tried to make a skiing video.  I'm using version CS4 and when I go to encode the premiere pro file it never encodes.  it says its encoding but it never does anything and after 20 mintues or so it'll just stop and then give me an error message.  Not sure how to fix it, please help.  
    Here is a picture of what it looks like.

  • Media center problem with Qosmio G35-650 - error message

    hello all
    I have a problem with media center on qosmio g35-650.
    When starting live tv , an error message appears and writes "application failure please restart your computer again. if problem persists again please contact with your hardware assistance"
    It was working yesterday and today something happened.
    Also it cant find any tv signal available. Is it a hardware problem?
    regards
    cem mete

    Hello
    Please dont be mad on me but in most cases is the user the problem and not the machine. I really dont know what is problem in your case but if the unit has well TV signal there should not be any problem.
    Your unit must be an US model. Those notebooks are not known to me but I presume that Qosmio player is preinstalled too. I have G20 and TV works perfect (WMCE and Qosmio player). What is with Qosmio player in your case? Does it work well?
    Be sure that TV tuner is listed properly in device manager and also TV antenna is connected properly.

  • Hi,i cannot log into my itunes account,keep getting error message-0x800b0101,any help,on windows vista

    hi,error message appears anytime i try to use anything on the itunes menu,installed the latest updates and still no change.i can play song samples but cant purchase tracks etc....any help out there???

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

    When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.
