24pA - Captured timecode and DV Start/Stop

Hello - I've got what I hope will be an easy one - though I haven't found the answers lurking around here. I'm capturing footage shot on my DVX-100A in 24p Advanced mode. I'm capturing it from my DSR-11 deck using the Advanced Pulldown Removal in FCP 5.0.3 on my Dual 1G G4 tower running OS 10.4.3. My tapes should all be Non-Dropframe I believe.
I'm having an issue with DV Start/Stop Detect. It's putting markers where there is no start/stop between clips, and NOT finding any of the start/stop locations on the tape at all. This led me to examine my timecode more closely. I found that clips have timecode that increments like this (in the frames category):
01, 02, 04, 05, 06, 07, 09, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 00
It plays fine in sequences set to 23.98, and even displays fine on an NTSC television I've hooked up to my DSR-11. This from the clip itself in the viewer, or from the canvas in the sequence.
Should my timecode be incrementing that way so that it can re-reference the 29.97 timecode on my original tapes, or do I have a problem? Does anybody know why my Start/Stop Detect feature won't work? Incidentally, it works just fine for 24p normal footage captured at 29.97.
Thanks for your help.

Zebulun -
I did what you suggested. I was able to capture a few clips just fine at 29.97. I also was able to use the dv start/stop detect feature with success.
However, using the "remove advanced pulldown" from the tools menu yielded the same odd results. It appeared to work just fine, and the info window for the clip says that the frame rate is 23.98 (with lower field dominance), but my time code still reads as it did from the above posting. Up to 29 frames, skipping frames to make it count only 24 times.
It still seems to play fine. Any thoughts on why my timecode is doing this?

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

Capture Now with DV Start/Stop Detect maintaining Timecode

I am a new Mac user coming from Adobe Premiere Pro. In Pro, I could capture an entire tape into individual clips. I am now using FCE4, and have found the Capture Now option, as well as the DV Start/Stop Detect setting. The resulting segments show an In point based on the timecode of the tape. When I rename the file and move it to a different bin, I lose the timecode (in list view, in and out point state Not Set). Is there a way to maintain timecode to keep my shots in sequence?

This is the link to Piero's free filter - see if it is suitable:-

Order of Queues(Capture/Apply/Propagation) to start and stop the queues

Hi All,
We have bi-directional replication using streams.We want to stop and restart it .
Would you please help me in deciding the order of different queues(Capture/Apply/Propagation)
Thanks in Advance!!!
Kind Regards

I always stop capture first; and ensure it has gone down cleanly by checking the alert log.
Then propagation (which may hang on the first attempt before it times out), then finally apply (followed by another alert log check).

DVD Start/Stop and Subclips

Question: In my browser I have double clicked a clip, it opens in the viewer, I then go to >View>DVD start/stop and the markers are inserted. Once I go back to the browser and highlight the markers and go to Modify>make subclips, FCP will only convert about 27 or 28 of the markers to subclips, when there is actually over 100 markers. Is there a maxium limit on the number of markers that can be converted or that will appear in the browser list? Hope I am clear.

I've done it both ways, not sure which is easier.
HDV capture creates individual clips (individual media files) based on the detected start/stop and uses a name you specify at the initiation of the capture appending a sequence number to the end of the name for each new clip. S/S detect always uses the name "Segment". Like the Segment clips, HDV clips are in natural order, as you say. I'm guessing that the file system is smart enough to consider the entire number at the end of a name, but sorts character by charcter if the number is in the middle of the name.
Just seems a little short sighted to use different naming conventions for essentially the same function, especially when it causes the files to be out of order.

Turning off DV start/stop when capturing HDV

I am trying to figure out how to capture from my camera that shoots HDV. when I capture, FCP divides every cut into a new clip. I would like to turn this off. I unchecked the box that says "make new clip at start/stop" but I still get the divided clips. I heard there is a way to turn this with the new version. I am capturing HDV 720p
Thanks,
Johnny

There is no fix. That is the nature of HDV. Every time the camera is started and stopped, the camera creates a new clip. That is because HDv records in a long GOP (group of pictures) structure, and when you stop the camera, the structure is broken...FCP detects this and creates a new clip.
But so to other NLEs...

Firefox is not showing up at all, I will click on the application and it start to work but then after 2 seconds, its stops working.

I will try to start firefox and then it stops working. It will work for about 2 seconds and then it goes to a blank screen. The screen is transparent and i can see my desk top threw firefox. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and firefox still will not work on my computer. I have run scans on my computer as well to see if it was a virus that was preventing it from running. If anyone could help me I would be very greatful.

hello see-saw-sally, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/940393#answer-377118 from another user] we found out that this might be related to malware active on your pc. please close all firefox windows and try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|running firefox in safemode]] (by pressing the shift key while you're starting it). in firefox safemode go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove the entry named "Codec v1.0" or any other addons that look suspicious & you have not installed intentionally. afterwards see if you can run firefox normally again...
please also do an in-depth scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & keep firefox and your plugins up-to-date in order to stay safe on the web.

I have a new Macbookbook, about 2 months old, and at times running video, the fans starts and does not stop. how do you get it to stop. Also i am thinking once the video is done the fan should be slowing down and getting quiet on its own.

Your fan(s) will run at high speed (i.e., loudly) while video is playing, and you can't get around that.
If your fans are not slowing down within 2-4 minutes after CPU- and/or GPU-intensive usage ends, and the application that was showing the video is still running, Quit that application. (In fact, if you're accustomed to Windows, you may not realize that simply closing a Mac application's window does not quit the application. You still need to use the Quit command in the application-name menu. There will always be a bright dot beside or below the application icon in your Dock for each application that is open.) Quit the ones you aren't using, and see whether that allows the fans to slow down without restarting the machine. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the SMC:

Hi,
Thanks for your answer friend. My admin has successfully killed my session forcebully. And he doubted that i may not have enough rights to Stop/Start application and he provided me the required rights. After that also the error is repeating as below. we two are not getting where we went wrong.

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!

Win 8.1 Start button and Charms randomly stops working BUG (workaround)

To anyone experiencing this, it is a bug in Win 8.1 which I can replicate at will.
Reinstalling your system as suggested by MS engineers will not fix this.
To force the bug to appear:
1. Grab a desktop Icon (recycle bin, any shortcut) and move this up to the top left hand corner without letting go of the mouse button. Drop shortcut anywhere on desktop. Without an Icon the mouse pointer would initiate the recent apps.
2. To check that the first step has worked, try and invoke charms by moving mouse to top right hand corner. If Charms do not appear then the bug has been triggered.
3. Now move mouse over start button (no click), move away then back again. Now the start button is locked. If you unlock the taskbar you can move it to any other position (top, left or right) and the start button works. Move taskbar back to the
bottom and the start button still does not work. Only way to get it working again is to restart window explorer in task manager.
To avoid this happening all you need to do is disable recent apps corner.
1. Right click desktop.
2. Click Taskbar and Navigation
3. Click Navigation tab in the properties window
4. Uncheck "When I click the upper-left corner, switch between my recent tabs."
Now the bug cannot be triggered as above to make the start button stop working. You have to remove this feature which is pretty hopeless on a desktop anyway. Its better than restarting Window explorer every time.
I can replicate this on any desktop or laptop, fresh install or old. Not sure about any touch screen machines. I can also trigger this in VMPlayer\Virtual Box and the Modern IE VM images that MS provide.
Now the MS engineers can replicate this on their machines, and maybe if we are lucky they will FIX it!!!!
MS please acknowledge that this is a bug.
Maybe the issue is due to the windows button not being redrawn on the screen once triggered as it still works when taskbar is moved (graphic card drivers). Could not find anything use full in the system logs.
Just noticed also that the charms also breaks if you drag an Icon up to the right hand corner. Once triggered Charms stops working, start button is not affected with the above work around configured.
MS please read this and reply.

suspect it is local to your environment.
Others seeing the same symptom. Note that originally I was not using the
Top left hover for thumbnail feature and then also claimed not to see it.
Oh. And here is another factor that someone else is using as a workaround. A link to the first thread I was thinking of can be found in this one

I have installed Premiere Elements 11 from a disc I bought from Amazon. I keeps asking me to re-install or if it does start stops a few minutes after I start a project. I have a windows 8.1 PC. I have tried numerous times to install the program and also to open it as Administrator as suggested by a friend but it still refuses to work. I need direct help from Adobe but don't know how to get to them on this website as they seem to rely on user forums to advise customers.
