Batch capture question

by mistake, i just captured video instead of audio for about 20 clips. is there anyway to go back and get the audio only through batch capture. i highlighted the clips and did a batch capture but the only thing it re-captured was the video and no audio.

First, are you SURE there's no audio?
Second... your best bet is to capture the whole clips again. Make sure you have the VIDEO+AUDIO selected in the batch capture settings. That way you won't have to try and 'link' the audio back to the video.
Will take the same amount of time too.

  • Batch capture / Subclip question

    Hey all,
    I've logged tapes from DV marking in / out points and labeling the clips. I've selected "log clips" and then batch captured the clips. Sometimes, I've needed to batch capture 1 minute of footage from a 20 minute clip - and I don't want to recapture the whole 20 minute clip.
    I've tried to make a subclip of the footage needed and just capture the subclip, but it wants to grab the whole 20 minute clip.
    Ideas?
    Thanks,

    Subclips aren't captured, they are made from clips
    ALREADY captured. If you needed shorter clips, you
    need to log them that way before capturing ... or you
    can make the 1 minute clip an "independent clip."

    Thanks for the reply. I identified the clip in the sequence I wanted to recapture. It's a 20 second soundbite with a DV glitch in it. I highlighted the clip, selected "make independant clip", and nothing seemed to happen. With that clip highlighted, I tried to recapture the clip, but it still said the duration of the recapture would be the length of the full original clip. All I need to do is recapture a short piece of the original. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Help!  Batch Capture Changes My Logged Clips' Media Start & Media End

    I'd be very grateful for any help on this.
    I log a tape with about 40 clips ranging from 30 seconds to 4 minutes. I select the clips and start a batch capture. Everything appears to be capturing normally and I receive no error messages or dropped frame warnings - after my last clip is captured I get a "Successfully Captured" message.
    However, as soon as I click "Finished," all of my clip media start's, media end's, and durations in the log window arbitrarily change to weird times. All my media start points are 26 frames too early (I've tripple-checked that "Add Handles" is indeed deactivated), and the media end points make no sense at all.
    A clip that was once 44 seconds long is now only 12 seconds long, the media end point moved a whopping 34:03 too early. Another clip will become 2 seconds longer, the media start point still shifted back 26 frames, but with the media end now 31 frames too late. Checking the original files on my drive confirms that only these weird, unusable segments are what has been captured.
    What complicates things is that I just discovered today that if I capture locally to my internal hard disk, the clips capture normally (the times remain unchanged). But if I set my capture scratch to my external hard drive (a LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5 using Firewire-800), that's when the clips start changing themselves. I ran disk utility and found no errors on the drive, and have never had a problem with it or any part of my configuration until the last month or so... the only changes to my system being the regular use of Software Update.
    On top of that, my colleague is experiencing a similar problem with batch capture changing his clip times, even though he is using a different computer (single-processor G5), a different video deck (Sony DHR-1000), and a different storage medium (Apple Xserve RAID).
    So my question is: What is happening! The only thing I can think of is that perhaps some update has a bug - but I can't find anyone with a similar problem online.
    Any help on this would be extremely appreciated! Thank you in advance for your advice.
    Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Deck: JVC CU-VH1 / Storage: LaCie F800 2-TB RAID-5
    Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

    Here's an update on this. Both my colleague and I have confirmed that if we capture to an internal or external drive that is not a RAID FCPro batch captures just fine.
    But, if the drive we are capturing to is a RAID (in my case a LaCie Biggest F800 and his case an Apple Xserve), then we get dropped frame reports and/or clip in's and out's changing after the batch capture is complete.
    We even tried reformatting one of the xServe's and rebuilding it as non-journaled, it didn't solve the problem.
    It seems impossible that we're the only ones to be experiencing this problem... does anybody have any help or suggestions!?

  • Audio Not Syncing After Offline Conversion/Batch Capture from OfflineRT-DV

    WORKFLOW:
    1. Shooting HDV on a Sony HDR-V1U (DF/NDF Timecode setting is AUTO on the camera)
    2. Using the camera to downconvert to DV as I import into FCP 7 (final product will be NTSC DVD).
    3. I first capture and log using the OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG) preset
    4. I make my Edits, and then use Media Manager to create new project and create offline media referenced by duplicated items. (Set sequences to: DV NTSC 48 kHz)
    5. The clips I need are then batch captured using Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    PROBLEMS:
    A. As I'm initiating my batch capture in step #5 above, the following warning is generated:
    WARNING: You are about to capture Drop Frame media from a device currently detecting or configured for Non-Drop Frame media. If you proceed, you may experience changes in logged in and out points, problems relinking media, or removal of master clip relationships.
    B. When I playback my sequence, the in/out points are off by several seconds. (like the media within the clip slid ahead several seconds--to fix it, I would have to slide each clip back)
    QUESTIONS:
    Q1: How can I properly execute my workflow while avoiding the WARNING above and the problem with the in/out points?
    NOTE: The OfflineRT clips in the original project (#3 above) are shown as DF (semicolon in timecode), but the duplicated clips in the DV project (#4 above) are NDF (colon in timecode). I have already tried changing my capture preset to Firewire NTSC NDF, recapturing the clips, and the result is the same.
    Q2: Should the capture preset be the same or different when logging the first (OfflineRT) and second (DV NTSC 48kHz) times?

    Wish I had a simple answer for you, stay tuned, some folks who actually use those cameras will drop by sooner or later.

    so neither camera captures properly? that's odd. We know the Canon is going to give you trouble but the Pani should work.
    Try searching the forum for your camera models, see what comes up. Many different cameras shoot their own versions of various image,frame, and pulldown formats.

  • Problem batch capturing

    FCP HD 4.5, easy set-up (DV-NTSC)
    I'm trying to batch capture 10 clips. Each clips starts to capture for about 3 seconds and then it stops and says "error". I try pressing "continue" but it keeps trying to capture the same clip and I get the same message.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I just batch captured another tape and it captured fine.
    thanks for the help.

    I just batch captured another tape and it captured
    fine.
    Perhaps an obvious question but....is the name of the tape you're capturing on still from the previous tape you captured? It does happen sometimes.

  • Timecode changes when batch capturing

    I am capturing betacam sp footage into FCP 5.1 on a dual G5 2.3 box, and using a Kona LSe card. Timecode is running through the 422. For the most part, things are going smoothly, but I am now running into an issue where when I batch capture my logged clips, the last 10 to 15 sec. is chopped off. I generally can just enter the time code again manually to fix the issue, but some of my clips are 8 to 10 min long (interviews), and my client is getting irritated that we are having to capture them again. I also tend to batch capture the majority of these long bites overnight for next morning's session, and they are now consistently coming in with the ends lopped off. FCP is actually changing the timecode on the clip, making me question whether or not I entered it correctly the first time. To prove that I'm not crazy, I monitored the capture on the first couple of clips, and sure enough, FCP decides that I don't need the last 15 sec of my clip, and changes the timecode accordingly during the capture.
    What's going on? Is it the Kona card or its software? Thanks.

    Well I recently had a similar problem that is really driving me crazy.
    While capturing 720p 59.94 from the D5
    In FCP when I log a clip at:
    01:20:00:00 in
    01:20:30:00 out
    After Batch Capture is complete the clip shows up in the browser as:
    01:19:55:05 in
    01:20:25:05 out
    FCP is effectively changing the logged timecode of the clip.
    In all my experience with FCP I have never encountered this issue and I am completely puzzled. I've contacted AJA and they have said that they do not know of this issue and were puzzled also. The only thing about my current configuration that is not completely right is that I am not using a Tri-Level Sync at the moment. We get ours tomorrow. AJA suggests using the Tri-Level Sync with the Kona 3 card, but would that cause a glitch of this nature? I will try again tomorrow of course and update, but does having bad 720p reference effect how FCP logs and handles TC? To my knowledge it shouldn't and makes me think that there may be some sort of FCP error occurring. There is no reason why FCP should be changing my logged clip settings. Also, I tried a test where I made the clip that came in with the bad timecode offline, and then ran a Bath Capture again, and it changes the logged timecode even further. I've tried a variety of Device Control settings playing with frame offset etc with all having the exact same numeric result (see TC above).
    Anyone who has any insight or similar experience your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help

  • Drop-Frame vs. Non-Drop-Frame Capture question

    Hi,
    I'm using Final Cut Pro 5 capturing 16:9 anamorphic video and removing an advanced 24 frame pulldown from my Canon XL-2. This is for a documentary for which I have captured over 30 full tapes of footage. I've been logging in the clips FIRST, then going back and batch capturing everything afterwards.
    My question is this: I have logged everything the same way with seemingly all the same settings. However, when I capture some tapes I get the warning that I'm capturing Non-Drop frame media to a Drop-Frame clip and it could cause problems in the future with relinking. Then some tapes don't give me that message at all. Is there something I'm not noticing about how I log some tapes but not others? Would it have to do with the presets I have Final Cut set to when I'm capturing a tape? I'm fairly positive I've always setup FCP to the proper capture settings before logging anything...but could something else be causing this? Thanks for your help.
    -JD

    The thing to watch out for, both in logging and in capturing, is when you log or capture multiple tapes with mixed NDF & DF timecode.
    There are three or four things that can affect this:
    FCP5 and later allow you to set the TC format of the capture preset, such that the Log & Capture window would default to NDF if you are working with NDF tapes.
    Otherwise, Log & Capture will still auto-detect during playback when logging, but you have to be sure to play the tape some before logging the clip. If you capture multiple tapes using capture now, You could easily start recording before the time code format updates. This kind of error results in a clip whose in point is the correct "number", but the format is wrong.
    During Batch Capture, the device control is not always able to change the time code format. I'm not sure about FCP6, but I am in the habit of grouping my clips in batches according to the TC format. You ma be seeing this alert because you are switching the TC format of the tapes in the batch capture, but device control is "stuck" in DF mode, for instance. This is not an issue during logging, only capture.
    I think it may also be possible to override the clip's logged TC format at capture by unchecking "use logged clip settings".
    Capturing clips with the wrong TC format can really mess up recapture later. The offset that happens as the format gets converted back increases as the starting hour of the timecode gets bigger.
    So basically you can have clips that get logged wrong, and clips that were logged correctly, but captured with the wrong TC. It's easier to miss it when logging, since there's no alert message to pop up. But the other alert is there to tell you there is a mismatch somewhere, preventing you from making the second kind of error. Your only error may only be that you had both DF and NDF clips in the same batch.
    There is a trick to get the TC format to switch to the non-default for batch capture - Open Log & Capture and play the tape until you see the TC format update. Now start the batch capture with Log & Capture still open - device control will stay in that TC format now. Otherwise, I think device control switches to the format of the first clip in the batch, but stays there until you cancel and start a new batch.
    Hope this helps -

  • Big Big batch rename question

    Hi folks. I've seen a few batch rename questions before, but I think this one's a little different.
    I have a long (8 minute) movie, one big piece in a FCP timeline. For reasons unimportant to this question, I need to break it up into about 50 little 10 second movies. I can do that easily but using the cutting tool and cut cut cut away until I've split my one item in the timeline into 50 pieces. I can then drag them into a bin. Of course, each one is called "final" (that's the name of the movie). I can select all those clips and make them independent clips, which now allows me to rename them.
    Problem is, they need to be renamed to a bunch of unrelated words. ie "plane", "building", "sky" etc. So a simple batch sequence that names them 1, 2 ,3 is not what I'm after.
    I have an exel file with a single column that lists all these names in their proper order. So far, I have successfully:
    exported a batch list from my 50 clips in the bin that are named the same.
    replaced the file names in that batch list with the names from my column of names
    reimported that revised batch list into FCP. Their properties are all correct, ie the right name is with the right in and out points etc.
    I'm stuck now where those clips have a red line through them. How can I relink the 50 clips in the timeline (which are all still called "final") with their properly named counterparts in the bin?
    batch capture of course isn't a solution since there's nothing to capture.
    Hope that's clear and thanks in advance for any ideas.

    If you're running a 32 bit version of windows try Batch Rename
    A really great piece of freeware that is easy to use.
    There are also options within PS's batch dialog that allow you to do the same thing, but I find the above app so much easier.
    I really miss it on my Vista 64 box...

  • Premiere Pro CS5.5 Batch Capture Problems

    Hi,
    I'm sorry for the repost, but the older questions I can find on this topic won't allow me to reply and they were never answered (last post several months ago).
    I'm having the batch capture problem with Premiere Pro CS5.5. Capture with device control works great when single capturing. When I log clips and attempt to batch capture, though, I get the "capture failed: device not found" error in my capture log. I have checked through the FAQ and the complete premiere manual on batch capturing. I've set my device (still using a Canon XL1) and even checked the video size...it matches that of my project (someone on another forum mentioned that this could be an issue). I have had no luck.
    Could anyone tell me if this issue has been resolved, or redirect me to a resolution?
    Thanks in advance for any help!!
    Steve

    I have encountered this problem if the current tape position is beyond the last recorded point when you start the batch capture or if any "OUT" points are beyond the last recorded position or if the capture spans any unrecorded portions of the tape. I always thought it was my camera but maybe it is a PPro issue.

  • Capturing Question #1

    Hi. I have two capturing questions that I could really use some help with, I'll keep them seperate.
    Since downloading the new FCP update I have had a new warning before capturing and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do about it. Quoted as follows:
    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.
    Cancel OK
    I just don't know as much as I should about this stuff. Not even what other info you guys might need. I'm capturing Firewire from a Sony TRV-22 to a 250GB external LaCie.
    Thanks,
    Ariel.

    The difference is in the TIMECODE. Somehow you have a batch of clips that have been logged with NON-DROP timecode...the : separators are all colons ":" that indicate that the footage logged was NDF TC. Drop frame separators look the same, but the last one is a SEMI colon ";" indicating drop frame code.
    Re-log that tape and you should be good to go.

  • Can you batch capture with Final Cut Express?

    I'm new to Mac and FCE,
    I'm used to running through my dv marking in and out points to create a batch and then hitting capture at the end and the computer rewinds and captures each in/out point. At this point, I usually start editing pics, etc for the video on another machine (videos are very short turnaround time).
    Is this type of batch capture possible with final cut or does the user actually have to wait while the video is captured or better yet go to the end of each out point only to have the tape rewind for each clip captured. Seems like a very inefficient way of doing, so i'm guessing I am just unaware of how to do it. Please give me the steps if possible and of course all help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    This is very irritating. The more I get into the Mac side of video the more I think I have been sold a bill of goods. Mac seems to be good for lots of stuff, but I have to say that iMovie and Final Cut Express seem to lack some pretty basic functionality found in Windows software like Ulead MSP.
    I even asked this specific question to the Apple store personnel and they guaranteed me that batch capture is possible on FCE.
    I have to ask myself at this point why am I considering paying 900.00 for FCP when a 300 dollar Windows Program does the same thing. I guess live and learn, but it sure helps when people tell the truth and don't make stuff up when they don't understand it.
    I am very disappointed at all the Mac video hype I have yet to see the wonders.
    Thanks for the reply,

  • Help w/ batch capture?

    Hey guys,
    Just finished a shoot in the city this arvo. Got back to log and capture and have run into a short problem.
    I've logged all my clips, about 25 minutes worth, broken up into 7 seperate clips. The footage from today was recorded onto the second half of a 60-min tape. I shot 10 seconds of nothingness before todays shoot to give me a good buffer for batch pre-roll. The problem is, even if I try to batch capture starting at a point (let's say 2:00;00 in, for hypothetical), the camera insists on returning to the very beginning of the tape. So, because I have a timecode break, and theoretically 2 different 2:00;00 timecodes, I've run into trouble.
    Question is, is there a setting in capture settings that will make it not continue past my broken timecode. ie, I want to stay on this side of the break and not jump to that side! haha.
    Hope I was clear enough. If it makes any difference, I'm using a Sony Z1P for capture purposes.
    Thanks, Josh

    I thought Final Cut renames reels automatically when it detects broken timecode. No? At least this is standard behavior on my machine and I find it very useful. (I might have set it up myself without even knowing it - there are way too many settings in different menus.)
    Edit: I use "Capture Now" and seldom "Log and Capture" because my clients prefer to have all their footage on the hard drive. Probably when you do it in a proper way and log clips first, you do have to change the reel name manually.

  • Batch capture incomplete and file loss

    I'm having some annoying problems on Final Cut 5.1. Pretty much every time I perform a batch capture 1 file remains uncaptured - I definately always select them all, and usually when I select that file and do the batch capture again on the one file it works fine.
    Also, especially on larger captured video files, sometimes when I restart the application it loses a captured video file, usually one of the ones that wasn't captured on the first run.
    Can someone please help, its slowing down my work as I have to keep going over files again and recapturing them all the time.
    Thanks

    Yes it is MAC OS extended, I heard this was the best option, was I wrong? Its USB 2 rather than firewire, is this not the right choice with a Mac? USB 2 drives always worked fine on my PC - I've only recently made the Mac crossover.
    Yep. MAC OS EXTENDED - Good
    No. USB - Bad
    While some do use it with success it is not recommended for video capture. Use FW 400 or 800. The way I understand, it's not a question of speed but of how information is delivered. USB sends in bursts while FW sends in a stead uninterrupted flow.
    I think Studio X posted a good explanation of this recently. Might do a search here for more info.
    So give FW a try... may not be the solution, but trying will eliminate that as a possibility and you're better off using FW anyway.

  • BATCH CAPTURE QUITTING DURING COMPRESSION

    I'll try to simplify an earlier question:
    Why, during COMPRESSION would I get the message,
    "BATCH CAPTURE APPLICATION HAD TO QUIT UNEXPECTADLY?"

    Did you ever get a response? I'm having the same thing happen once I start compression. Compressor was doing the same thing until I deleted the pref file. That didn't fix Batch Monitor though.

  • Batch Capture Skips Out-point

    Hello,
    when I perform a batch capture of HDV material, Adobe Premiere Pro sort of ignores my set out-points. The capturing starts exactly at the in-point. However, the capturing stops not at the set out-point. Instead Premiere adds another 10 to 15 frames.
    Does anybody knw this problem?
    How can I get captured clips with the correct in- and out-point?
