Batch capture list feedback

Hello to all!
I have just logged a bunch of clips and wanted to start batch capturing. So I get the batch list window telling me which tapes to insert.
It works, but when the tape is done the entry in the list still tells me that it is still ready (queued) for capturing. It will be confusing not to know which tapes I already captured...
I remember older FCP versions that showed which tapes are already finished. Is there a way to get a feedback?
Sorry I do not know the exact ENGLISH words that appear in the window, cause I am using a german version...
Hope you get the point. Thanks for your time and tips!
Cheers,
Timo.

Hi, I already discovered this phenomenon! It happens when i use Blackmagic 8-Bit. When i use Blackmagic-DV everything is ok. The Tape-List shows for finished "Tapes to Capture" the correct entry: FERTIG (FINISHED).

  • Batch Capture Lists Using Numbers

    Has anyone been able to use Numbers to create a batch capture list for Final Cut Pro? I was able to do this all the time with Excel, just export as a tab-delimited file, then import that file into FCP. It's an easy way to log footage to perform a batch capture later on. Numbers won't export as a tab-delimited file. And I've tried exporting as a csv, but FCP doesn't recognize that file type. I love the simplicity and interface of the iWork suite much better than Office, I don't want to reinstall Excel just to use it for that one purpose.

    No can do!
    Just hit this problem myself, today. Numbers does not have a tab-delimited output format option. I suggest we make an enhance request to Apple, against Numbers, for this obvious omission.
    So, anyway, it is easy to post-process a CSV file into a tab-delimited file. It is just an extra step
    Aside from using the "Find And Replace" functionality within a text editor, this can be readily accomplished on a terminal command line, for those comfy in that environment:
    cat LOGFILE.csv | sed 's/,/<tab>/g' > LOGFILE.txt
    Where I put "<tab" above, type a tab character instead.
    Have fun,

    Hello
    If I understand well you wish to extract the contents of a group of cells as a TAB delimited file.
    An easy way would be
    select the block of cells
    Copy to clipboard (cmd + c)
    Create a blank Pages document
    Paste (cmd + v)
    Export the document as text file.
    You may also use this script which is really easy to use.
    Paste the script in a blank window of Script Editor
    Save it as an application named cells2TSV.app
    Move the newly created application into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications
    Now, enter your Numbers Table.
    Select the range of cells which you want to export
    Copy to the clipboard
    Now, go to
    menu Scripts > cells2TSV
    You will get on the desktop a Tab Separated Values file named:
    -- (SCRIPT cells2TSV.app]
    property nomDuRapport : "wasCellsnowTSV.txt"
    set rapport to the clipboard as Unicode text
    set p2d to path to desktop
    set p2r to (p2d as Unicode text) & nomDuRapport
    tell application "System Events" to if exists (file p2r) then delete (file p2r)
    tell application "Finder" to set NewDoc to make new file at p2d with properties {name:nomDuRapport}
    write rapport to (NewDoc as alias)
    --[/SCRIPT]

  • Errors Batch Captures!! Tips for setting up Batch list corre

    I have set up a Batch List, and I keep getting an error after I have imported the Batch capture list, when I go to Batch Capture I keep getting an error about Timecode? I am also wondering when doing a Batch List is ok to begin with 00:00:00:00 timcode as a media begin? As batch capture truly saves a lot time, I sincerely appreciate your time in courtesy in replying to my post.
    Sebastian

    I avoid this problem by shooting the first 30 seconds of each tape to throw away. That way, my starting code for any new tape is always at least 00:00:30;00. I started doing this back with FCP 3 (and now have FCP 5). So, I don't know if this is still an issue with the newer version. I do know, however, that working with timecodes below 30 seconds was a pain. Before I learned this trick, I would be able batch capture all of my other clips. Then, the first clip on each tape I would use Capture Now (which seemed to be less finicky with the low time codes).
    I hope this helps.

  • Can't find Clip that is choking Batch Capture

    I'm getting a Timecode error saying Final Cut has reached the end of the tape when it tries to capture a particular clip. I can't delete the clip because it's not showing up in my browser window! In other words, it doesn't exist. Is there such a thing as invisible files in Final Cut Pro?
    K

    The thing that's got me the most confused is when I go over to my batch capture list to see what the timecode indicates, the clip that it's having probelms with isn't listed. It doesn't exist. How do I fix a clip's timecode parameters if I can't find the clip listed anywhere. The only time I can see the name of the file (clip) is when batch capture is happening and the program lists the clip it's trying to capture. The name of the clip ends with a number. The last clp closest to it has the number CU 5-1. The program is trying to capture CU 5-2...but there is no CU 5-2!
    What's going on?

  • Batch Capture Problems

    I want to recapture a project, edited in SD as a HD project. Therefore I offlined all clips and recapture them in HD-Format. But the in and out of the clip was noct correct. Trying to use a exported batchlist in csv-Format I recognized that In and Out-Points of all clips differ from one to several frames. How can I batch capture material with correct timecode or export a correct batch capture list????
    Thank you for instant help, because I have to finish HD editing on Monday
    Jörg

    No it's several clips on the tape. It captures 2 frames of each and then moves on to the next. Never actually heard of Rescue before but I shall check it out.One thing I have just noticed is that all the offline clips logged and ready to be captured don't have any compressor details, Vid rate or data rate details. That has to have something to do with it but I don't know what?
    Thanks.

  • Batch Capture - clearing list

    I lined up some clips to capture, then decided not to and changed tapes. However everytime I want to do a batch capture, all the old in and out points of the removed tapes come up and FCP tries to capture. Is there any way I can clear this list?
    Thanks!

    You must give each tape you log a unique tape number. That will tell FCP what to look at when you want to batch.
    If you have not done this, Try creating a new bin in the browser and drag the clips you want to capture to it. Then set this bin as the logging bin (control click on the bin and choose from drop list)
    I believe you can also click on the reel name column in the browser and change the reel name for footage that you have logged and, or captured.

  • Batch capture settings do not match project settings

    Batch capture audio settings do not conform to project settings-
    PROJECT SETTINGS ON CREATION OF NEW PROJECT:
    For editing with IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) DV equipment.
    Standard NTSC video (4:3 interlaced).

    Please note audio setting for project 48kHz (16 bit) audio.
    When I set for batch capture by creating off-line clips using the "Log Clip" option the off-line clip shows audio as
    32KHZ 16-bit  everyting else is correct as project settings.
    Just prior to creating the off-line batch capture clip I had sucessfully captured from the same device using the same tape shot with the above settings including 48khz 16-bit audio by using standard " Capture" by setting in & out then clicking Capture>In/Out.
    I've looked at capture settings etc...unable to determine to change audio settings etc or why the audio settings under batch capture do not conform to project settings...
    Any ideas?
    Tnx,
    mick

    Thanks for your reply, Harm....
    Well now...having negated all the possibilities you listed, I decided to do a an actual batch capture with clips which I previously logged which reported audio at 32kHz instead of the project setting of 48kHz:
    1. two clips  were selected from the same device/tape ( both selected from the logging util which erroneously reported audio at 32kHz) for the batch
    2. both clips captured "flawlessly"
    3. both clips after the batch capture then reported audio as being 48kHz
    Btw, I also did a batch capture from the same device/tape in Pr 6.x...and it reported and captured at 48khz...I must say, I must prefer the legacy version of Pr 6 for batch capture which creates a log .pbl file which can then be easily exported as a csv to and .xls etc..IMO, much more useful...and useable..
    Mi dos pesos(.002US)
    So it would appear there is some kind of bug in the Pr cs4 batch capture util that is erroneously reporting audio settings?
    Should this go to the devel as a possible bug?
    Tnx,

  • Unable to batch capture with Premiere Pro CC via Kona LHi

    AJA's web site claims Premiere Pro CC is compatible with the Kona LHi card, but I can't get the two to work together properly. After repeated tries, I uninstalled and reinstalled everything AJA, but still no luck.
    I need to batch capture DV clips from some mini-DV tapes on my Sony MVR035U tape deck.  But I also need to upconvert them from 480i to 720p60 using my Kona Lhi card. I should be able to do this with Premiere Pro CC. But the PPCC Capture window won't give me any audio feedback when I select "AJA Movie Capture" in the Capture Settings pull down menu. I only get audio feedback when I enable "DV capture" but then I'm no longer able to upconvert.
    Looking forward to any feedback on this issue. Been tying all day to trouble shoot this problem.

    And now with CC June 2014 you can't even capture from HDV, I need to go back to Premiere CC 2013 for that....Adobe might think tape capture is over... but it isn't totally yet...

  • HDV batch capture is making new clips...

    thanks for watching...
    i have imported batch lists into FCP with name, media start, media end, reel and log note just as the FCP manual instructs. they import fine and i have them all in their own bins.
    i batch captured a few tapes to day and i noticed that FCP is making new clips at times. for instance i'll have a clip "dogs" in the original batch list. after the batch capture there will be "dogs" and "dogs -1" the starting time code of "dogs" and the ending timecode of "dogs -1" are the original start and end of the clip. so, FCP has spit this clip in two for some reason. why is that?
    i thought it might have to do with the setting "make new clip on Start/stop" thats listed in the clip settings tab of the log/capture window. so i made sure this was unclicked and then tried another batch , also making sure to uncheck "use original clip settings" in the batch window. but, the problem still persists.
    i have 30 tapes to digitize and i'd prefer the clips matched the batch lists. any ideas i can try to solve this problem?
    take care,
    max

    Is it a new media drive?
    how is your media drive formatted? highlight the drive on the desktop and press command(apple)+i to get info...
    Where it says 'Format' it should read Mac OS Extended... does yours say FAT 32 by any chance?
    FAT32 is a different format that can be read by PCs and Macs... it can only store file sizes of 2Gb, so has the knock-on effect of causing FCP to break captures into smaller chunks.
    If your drive is FAT32 you need to re-format it using Disc Utility. When you do this, you will lose everything on that drive, so back it up if possible.
    If your drive is formatted correctly, post back with your media set-up, ie - what drives you use, how is your capture scratch configured etc.

  • Batch Capture Changes Media Start, End, and Duration

    Hello all... For some reason, when I batch capture from an imported batch list in FCP 4.5, the program changes the media start, end, and duration just slightly once the capture has completed. Does anyone know why this might be occurring?

    OK... I don't believe it has to do with drop frame or non-drop frame issues, and here's why... I ran a series of tests.
    The footage was originally shot with two cameras, an A Cam and a B Cam, which were Jam Synced together. The original A Cam tapes were log and captured normally. But for the B Cam tapes, we exported a batch list to excel, performed a rename function where _B was added to all file names and reel names, and brought the data back into FCP by importing a Batch List at 29.97.
    For the tests, I experimented with only one clip. First, I noted the timecode for the media start and media end when the file was uncaptured. Next, I placed the A Cam Tape in the deck and did a batch capture on the one clip. The program changed the media start and end times upon hitting ok. Here were the results of the first test:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED A CAM: MS (05:50:39:17) ME (05:51:41:07)
    Then, I undid the capture so that the timecode would revert back to the precaptured state. I placed the B Cam tape in the deck and ran the capture again, on the same clip, in Batch Capture mode. The program changes the media start and end yet again, but this time, changed it in a different way:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 1st Attempt: MS (05:50:39:16) ME (05:51:41:06)
    So then I undid the capture again to revert back to the logged settings, and put the EXACT same tape in the deck, and ran the batch capture in exactly the same way. This time however, FCP didn't change anything. It logged the clip correctly. I tried it yet again, in the same way, and it did it perfectly again:
    LOGGED: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 2nd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    CAPTURED B CAM 3rd Attempt: MS (05:50:39:26) ME (05:51:41:01)
    So I ask again... what is up with FCP 4.5?

  • Won't do a batch capture?

    I have been capturing footage all day and all of a sudden have come across an odd problem. I have just logged about 14 clips. They all have "media start" and "media end" times in the browser. The timecode is fine on the dv tape itself. (there are no jumps or weird things happening)
    It will let me capture by selecting just ONE clip and going to:
    -Batch-
    -Selected Items in Logging Bin-
    But it keeps giving me an error message when I try to do a batch capture of all 14 clips. It says that I may not have enough pre/post roll footage for the capture, but I do. And if I didn't it shouldn't be allowing me to capture clips one at time using the "batch" setting.
    Not really sure why this is happening? If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful! Thanks guys.

    Normally it can restore from the latest backup . . . if it was a successful one.
    Why are you doing this? Is your Mac running? Can you get to +Enter Time Machine?+
    If so, note the date and time of the latest backup.
    How are you doing the restore? Booting from your Leopard Install disc, selecting Utilities then +Restore from Backup?+ Note that the list of backups there may not be shown in your local time zone -- they're in Pacific time. Does this match what you saw via +Enter Time Machine+ (adjusted for any time zone difference)?
    If you're doing something else, what?

  • Cs3: batch capture in/out edits incorrect

    OK - heres my problem. I have a hdv project which i captured dv files. Ive edited these in the timeline and now want to offline and batch capture as hdv. When i do this however many of the clips appear incorrectly on the timeline. they are slightly off the edits i made - starting several frames before where i made the cut.
    To test it wasn't an error having dv clips in a hdv project i set up a dv project and captured some dv footage. Did some edits on the timeline ( not the program window ) then exported this section, imported it and placed above the edited section on the timeline( so i could use as a comparison ). I then right clicked the captured footage in the project panel - make offline, media files deleted. Then right clicked the captured footage in the project panel - batch capture and captured the footage again. When i compared the footage in the timeline against the saved export the edits were out of sync.
    Not sure if this is at all clear an explanation but heres hoping.
    Many thanks in advance if anyone has any suggestions

    Hi Stan, thanks for the response. I'm sure your description is clear but ive been at this for 20 hours straight so pardon if i am confused. The hdv export has a matching picture/timecode with the Sony FX1E . ie the Premiere Source window of the file shows the same image at the same timecode as the camcorder viewfinder. Premiere is importing the right section. Well what it thinks is the right section. However this is not the section that was on the original timeline -  i can see this by referring to the exported avi i now have on a layer which i use as a reference. I need to check to see if the dv file has the same in/out as the hdv. will need to test on other footage as previously i deleted the files on batch capture.
    Am i following your suggestion correctly?
    Another strange thing happened. I gave edl a go - exported from the project with dv. created a new hdv project and imported the list. Batch captured and still had the same problem - some match some dont. However i transferred to another pc and the same files which were matched on my laptiop were now not matched! How can this be? All i did was transfer the external hard drive ( scratch disc ) to a different pc , hooked the ppro file to them and more unmatching.

  • Batch Capture problems - can't read timecode

    I want to log all my clips before capture and then just batch capture it all. Problem is, I get a message that the timecode can't be found.
    How can I correct this problem?

    I forgot nothing. My list is what is required to begin to log and batch capture. He didn't say it "started to capture but aborted midway through the first clip". He couldn't get started. We could go into a long list of tape based "do's and don'ts" but it didn't seem appropriate until we had some basic information.
    We still don't know if the material was originally recorded on the playback cam and/or if he has ever successfully captured using this cam.
    Don't you like playing 20 questions too? lol.
