Bizarre FCPro Capturing Problem w/ Timecode Breaks

OK I've never seen this happen before - I am using a G5 with OSX 10.4.2 and FCPro 5.0. I am trying to capture from a DV tape with loads of timecode breaks, currently it is set to Warn After Capture on timecode breaks. For some reason when I capture I am having a problem - the entire tape will capture, but Final Cut will only be able to access a small part of it, stopping when a timecode break occurs. Like, I will capture one hour, and the whole hour will capture, but when I play it back it will only be two minutes. However, the whole clip will be on the hard drive - when I access the media file, it will be an hour long, and I can play the whole hour in quicktime. But when I play it in FC, it will be two minutes, or four or whatever. I've tried everything - importing the file back into Final Cut, changing the settings like nuts, I still cannot get Final Cut to access the rest of the footage. Yes, I've tried "Make New Clip" on timecode break, and that works, but I need to find a solution to this problem.
It doesn't happen all the time, either. Sometimes when I capture it will stop after the first timecode break, other times it will stop after several. Sometimes I get four seconds, sometimes it's fifteen minutes, sometimes the whole tape will capture without any error. I don't understand this problem - I've captured from this camera before to Final Cut Pro 4 and Final Cut Express on G4s and G5s and never seen anything like this. I hope I've explained the problem well enough. I would really appreciate any help anyone could offer.
G4/G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

The camera is a JVC GY-DV500 MiniDV camera. I've captured to both internal and external drives - actually just yesterday this same problem cropped up on a different computer running OSX 10.3.9 with the same version of FC, leading me to believe it's a problem in Final Cut.
As for the timecode breaks, I'm not really sure to be honest with you. I don't shoot the video, I only edit it. With the type of stuff being recorded they have to pause recording frequently, sometimes they only record for a couple of seconds. Perhaps it is a camera setting, I don't know. But I still don't understand how this could create such a problem in Final Cut.
Thank you.

  • Capturing issues looking for timecode break

    I am using FCP 4.5 and capturing onto a G raid Sata drive. But the capture process is very fragmented it keeps taking in about 20 seperate clips per 40 min role of DV. The message that comes up in the capture window says it is searching for timecode break but there is not one on the tape.
    Any tips?

    Strange maybe, but as a shooter, I've seen material show 'timecode' breaks on footage I've shot, knowing there was no break in tape....occasionally within a rolling shot. (JVC GY-DV500 camera)
    Could be the camera not laying a strong timecode signal...I've read that Canon's are notorious for this, though I've not experienced it myself...yet.
    Turning the camera off/on is very likely a culprit here. Not to be condescending, but here are my camera procedures to eliminate timecode breaks...not that you don't know this already...
    - Get in the habit of always rolling 5 sec. of tape before action starts and 5 seconds of tape after action ends.
    - Try not to turn the camera off.
    - Try not to do 'searches' on tapes that are being recorded on.
    - If the camera is turned off, or you need to search back into the tape, make sure you do NOT roll past the end of the last recorded frame...preferable stop a couple of seconds prior to the last recorded frame, and begin recording there.
    - If your camera is capable of generating Bars, try to record 10 seconds of bars in between scene or location changes.
    -if you have to pop the tape out of the camera at any point, follow the above listed practice of cueing up to a couple of seconds prior to the last recorded frame, and start recording there to pick up continous timecode.
    -Really, really try not to... (IOW - DON'T) use 'free-run' timecode. It will make editing an absolute nightmare...particularly for NLE's.
    not sure what mac os extended means
    This is how the drive is initially formatted. Often drives are designed to work with PCs and MACs. If you drive is not formatted Mac OS Extended, you could see abbreviated captures as well...among other problems...
    start/stop detect
    This will take a long capture and place markers at the points the camera stopped/started rolling, allowing you to create subclips from the original long clip...Main Menu/Mark/DV Start/Stop Detect...the camera must have an internal clock running, and not all cameras support this feature.
    Hope that helps,
    Kevan

  • Timecode break warnings upon capture

    Hello - I keep getting this msg. "WARNING: A timecode break was encountered while capturing 'name of clip'..." I had tried changing the setting to 'make new clip', instead of 'abort', and that didn't work, as I had a bunch of extremely short (1 frame) clips. The tape is rather old and 'worn looking' when playing - is it possible that could be problem? I am using Capture Now, and importing through the 'DateVideo' 'dazzle'. Thank you!

    Hey, thanks - this did work, even though I still get the msg. after Capturing, but it does capture all of the content that I want/need - thanks!

  • ZIU timecode/capture problems

    This is issue we've been struggling with for a couple months now, originally thinking that it was an FCP version problem. Now we have been running FCP 5.1.2, Tiger, and QT all at their latest versions still no improvment.
    The problem is we shoot a tape with our SONY HDV-Z1U and log the clips in FCP. When we go to batch capture many of about 25% of all these clips have capture problems. Final Cut detects timecode breaks and captures 2,3,4, sometimes 15 versions of these labeling them clip, clip-1, clip-2, etc....
    You can actually see these wierd glitches and jumps on the camera LCD and on the FCP capture window. Sometimes the camera will rewind itself over and over trying to find the proper IN on the tape.
    It seems like someone out there has had to run across this issue because this is such a common camera and such a common task. I'm almost worried that it's a camera problem and I don't even know where I would go to ask about something like that. I have not been albe to find any documentation that this model camera has TC problems.
    Please, help or point me in the right direction it must just add a couple years to my life!!!
    Thanks.

    I have a ZU1 and I occasionally encounter this problem, but it's usually one clip out of say 25 or 30 on a given tape. I'm never sure what causes the problem and if I simply skip the problem clip I can sometimes go back and digitize just that one last clip.
    I do know the ZU1 seems to need plenty of pre-roll in the front of the tape, but I'm assuming that's not the problem. You're using new, high quality tape, correct? Have you tried a simple head cleaning on the ZU1.

  • Capturing issues-audio sample rate & locating timecode break

    I am a first time FCP user.
    I am working on an educational video with hours of DV source tapes.
    The source tapes are from a 2R50MC Cannon mini DV camcorder also used as the deck I am capturing from via firewire. My scratch disk is Maxtor III 500GB external drive hooked up via a firewire (I'm realizing the firewire is years old could that be a problem?)
    In my first capture test I captured 1 minute of tape by setting in and out points and after completeing the capture I received an error message—"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
    For the past day I have been scouring the user manual, this discussion group and training tapes from Lynda.com and can not resolve this issue. I have determined that the source tape is 12 bit or 32 kHz and yet can not find a way to set up capture preferences to 32 kHz. Is this the problem/resolution? Page 320 of the user manual shows the QuickTime Audio Settings dialog box but I can't find it in FCP or Quicktime. Is this where I make the change to 32kHz?
    After doing the first test, I tried again and ran into a new problem—it stopped capturing with the message: Locating timecode break [press esc to abort]. It never seemed to resume capturing and I pressed escape to abort. If I'm reading FCP time code window correctly I received this time code break message within a section I had already captured previously (with the audio sync warning).
    I have done several capture tests at different points in the tape and on different tapes all with the same results. I've used the capture clip and capture now buttons. I've tested with drop frame turned on and off. Confirmed my setting of: At timecode break "Make New Clip." Confirmed my Easy Setup as DV-NTSC. My capture preset is DV NTSC 48 kHz. I've turned off and on FCP. Restarted my computer. Restarted my computer with the shift key down and ran permissions.
    Any ideas are GREATLY appreciated, T.

    I am concerned about available memory when capturing to my hard drive and the babysitting and extra steps involved considering the amount of tape I want to capture...but it does work that's GREAT!
    This is always a concern, but in your case I think having the camera and external on the same bus was causing your problem. You may have to capture a little and then transfer, rinse and repeat. Just don't try to do too much at once and let your System Drive get too full, you'll run into other problems there. Slow and steady is the pace!
    I shouldn't have stacked my questions since you answered one and Chris answered the other. Don't know how to apply the answered question and who gets the points.
    No problem, just mark it answered and divide up the solved and helpful points as you wish. All in all we really don't care too much about the points, but they do make us feel good! Thanks for your desire to use the forums properly.

  • Capturing some DV footage from camera, timecode break

    When I'm capturing video from my DV tape on my camera it always back steps for a long while because of some timecode break. is there a way to just capture it ignoring the timecode break? Time code isn't so important. It's just some video from my parents vacation that I want to slap on to a dvd.

    is there a way to just capture it ignoring the timecode break?<<</div>
    In FCP's preferences, set to create a new clip on Timecode break. Also set FCP's Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and use 'Capture Now.' Sometimes timecode breaks can be due to dirty heads in the playback device; try cleaning or having it serviced.
    It's just some video from my parents vacation that I want to slap on to a dvd<<</div>
    The quickest way to do that is to record directly from the source tape to a DVD recorder.

  • Timecode Capture Problem

    I recently shot a wedding using a DVX100B, 29.97, non-drop frame. When I upload the footage using "Capture Now" and set to Make New Clip it stops at each point that the camera was stopped to locate timecode. Lived and learned I should have recorded some extra footage before each stop and start but hindsight is 20/20. Now when I view the clips part of the second clip is at the end of the first clip. How can I upload this footage so that the clips have the correct beginning point. I have read the manual multiple times and tried using different settings to capture but I am still doing something wrong. Sorry but I'm new to FCP Studio. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Hi,
    This is the Final Cut Express forum. You should post your question in the Final Cut Pro forum, you're more likely to get a proper response there.
    That said, try using the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup instead of DV NTSC. You won't have device control, but you will probably be able to capture your video without the timecode break error messages.

  • Capturing continuous HDV over timecode breaks

    Hello! I hope someone out there can assist me - I've been searching google and doing some trial and error, but cannot find a solution.
    I have HDV video that I'm trying to capture into FCP 7. The footage has timecode breaks in it, some longer than others. I'd love to FCP to just gloss over them, ala capturing DV footage, but it seems it cannot.
    Re-recording is not an option as the client doesn't want to pay for the additional work. The capture itself is a byproduct of the videographer not remembering to compress live on site.
    Thanks for any help you might have!
    Additional info - capturing to a FW800 drive, Macbook Pro 2.2 i7 with 16GB ram - HDV coming from Sony HVR 1500
    Thank you!

    Can you get your hands on the same make and model camcorder that the footage was shot on?  I know this was suggested in a prior post and you said that you can't get the camera.  But, if you can rent a Sony HVR 1500 (I'm assuming it's a rental), can't you rent the same camera that it was shot in?  It's not uncommon to sometimes have to capture from the same device that was used to shoot the video in the first place.
    The drop frame error that you linked does not result from non-continuous time code.
    Also, the free run time code setting on the deck affects where it looks for tc source when recording (it doesn't affect tc during playback of a recorded tape).
    Based on everything in this forum so far, I'd suggest you go with Michael's suggestion and get a Blackmagic Decklink card (assuming that your computer can accomodate one).  Patching the SD-HDI out of the deck to the SD-HDI input of the Blackmagic Decklink should do the trick.  If you have something with HDMI out on it that can play the tape, you can go with Blackmagic's more affordable Intensity product that has HDMI in.
    Plan C would be to rent or buy a HD field recorder and patch the video out of the deck to the video in of the field recorder.  As long as the tape plays, you should be able to get it across.
    Good luck!

  • Capturing with Timecode Breaks Plase Help!!

    I am trying to capture different clips in the footage i have on my camcorder but there are timecode breaks. I am not sure how to get the clips i need because everytime i enter the in and out points and then press capture clip it doesnt work just rewinds my camcorder and wont capture. If anyone could tell me how to fix this it would be much appreciated.
    thanks,
    Hunter

    Jennifer
    Are the breaks on the tape or is FCE reporting the breaks?
    Which capture style are you using, NOW or CLIP?
    Have you tried different places on the tape other than the start?
    You need at least 3 seconds pre-roll from the start.

  • HDV Capture Problems in FCP 5.1.1

    We are using a Sony M10U HDV deck to capture footage in Final Cut Pro. Recently, on all 3 of our systems, the tapes seem to be coming in with a TON of time code breaks - and at each FCP creates a new clip. In a single 60-minute tape I will end up with 40+ clips. Not very convenient for multi-cam editing. We've been using the deck since FCP 5.0 came out over a year ago and have not had this issue in the past.
    I can't seem to recall any particular software update that we might have done on the Powermacs at the same time that could have caused this. (For awhile, two systems were on 5.1 while the other was still on 5.04 and all had the same issue). I've tried skipping the Sony deck and digitizing straight from a camera with the same problems. I've tried different firewire cables too.
    Also, if I play the tape straight to an HD monitor from the deck or a camera there doesn't appear to be any time code breaks or drop-outs. If I downconvert and capture as DV, everything captures fine with no timecode breaks reported. It only seems to be HDV related.
    Short of clearing off and re-formatting my hard drives, (I currently have 4Tb of data and I'm not sure where to go with it all) I'm running out of ideas on what else to try.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    I'm running:
    FCP 5.1.1
    Mac OS 10.4.6
    Quicktime 7.1.1
    Dual 2.7Ghz G5
    8Gb RAM
    GeForce 6800 GT
    Xserve RAID 5.6Tb
    Thank you.

    Perhaps you have updated Quicktime recently?
    If so, try a full quicktime reinstall.
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Reboot
    Good luck.

  • Advice on importing old mini dv tapes with timecode breaks

    I've dug out mini DV tapes from storage which contain priceless (at least to me) family footage. Some of these tapes are close to 11 years old.
    Before these tapes degrade and rot further, I'm trying to generate tape archive files on my hard drive using Final Cut Pro 10.1 from these old tapes.
    The issue I'm having is with timecode breaks on some of the tapes. After a few minutes of an import, sometimes the video will go a little wonky and I'll get a timecode break and the import process aborts itself. When this happens, I'm forced to start the archive all over again from the beginning, as far as I can tell. If I get lucky, sometimes I'll get through the import after another try but other times the tape is so badly damaged that I can't get through the entire tape.
    I believe there used to be a setting to tell Final Cut Pro to ignore these breaks. It now appears this setting is gone. Or am I missing something? If it's gone, is there some kind of workaround I can employ?
    Otherwise, if Final Cut Pro isn't up to the task, can someone please recommend software that will help me convert my tapes to archives on my hard drive?
    PS. I've used a head cleaning tape on my camera to limit the problem but it still happens with some of the tapes.

    You need a DV device to be attached and recognized by your Mac.
    Open QTime X.
    File>New Movie Recording.
    In the control bar click the small triangle.
    A list of devices appears to record from.
    Make the DV/camera selection and start capturing.
    It's all manual start stop and very basic but does capture.

  • Z1 capture problem

    Hi there.
    I wonder if anyone might be able to help me with my problem.
    I shot a wedding on 2 Sony Z1s, using TOD timecode. However, when capturing from a tape, it is stopping and cueing each timecode break - one of the tapes has captured into over 20 sections ! Not good as I wanted to cue the tapes up.
    I have my user preference set up as Make New Clip as Warn After Capture did not capture the necessary clips and Abort Capture is no use to me either really.
    Is this fixable or is it a case of when shooting, keep rolling ! But this then renders the TOD timecode useless.
    thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed !

    That's how Timecode works. What did you expect to happen? And if it captured as one long clip with the timecode jumping up every time the camera was stopped and restarted how would that allow it to be synced to the other camera? The clips would be different lengths and you'd only be able to line the timecodes up at one of the turnovers.
    It sounds like you should have either kept both cams rolling or not bothered with TOD TC.
    If you want to sync everything up now you'll have to make a new master clip with the material from the camera that stops and starts by laying it down on the timeline with the appropriate gaps where it was stopped. Export that sequence out as a QT movie and you'll then be able to create a multiclip from it and the other camera's master clip.
    Bear in mind though that if your cameras weren't genlocked then there's a good chance that the timecode will have drifted slightly over the course of the day. Don't just sync up on timecode without checking aurally and visually.

  • Capture problem after upgrading to FCP 7

    I recently upgraded to FCP 7. And now I cannot capture a clip of longer than 20 or 30 seconds without FCP signaling a timecode break.
    I am running OS X 10.6.4 and have tried capturing to different drives on my system. But this doesn't only happen when capturing. I hook up a camera via firewire to my computer and then play an HDV tape. I am using a tape I previously captured a few weeks ago, and so I know there are no glitches or problems with the tape.
    When I play the tape, it freezes up every 20 or 30 seconds, for a couple of seconds, as the system would do if there was a timecode break. But there's no timecode break, the tape is playing perfectly through the camera, it's only FCP that is "seeing" a timecode break and stuttering the picture for a few moments. If I am trying to capture, it breaks and starts a new file as if the timecode had stopped.
    Any ideas?
    Should I uninstall and reinstall completely? Or...? Cannot figure out why FCP 7 can't play video smoothly, when not even capturing. (Just to be clear, when playing back something on the timeline from a previous project, it plays perfectly smoothly -- it's only when playing the camera through the firewire that it acts like there are dropouts every 20 seconds or so -- maybe my firewire cable is bad, going to get another one today).
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Yes, thanks. This is resolved. I used Jon Chappell's uninstall, then reinstalled (only FCP 7). I still had the problem after doing that...however, when I got up on Saturday and started playing with it -- suddenly everything worked fine!
    So I don't know why after the uninstall/reinstall/reboot/etc. it wasn't working on Friday. But as of Saturday, the FCP gods smiled on me and there was a spontaneous self cure! So thanks to all for the advice. Maybe the reinstall did it but for some reason didn't take effect immediately??
    Main thing is that all is well. Thanks!

  • Capture problem: TCBreak creates 1 frame clip

    Hi,
    I am capturing 1080i59.94 DVCPRO HD footage in FCP 5.1.4 from a Panasonic HD1400 via firewire. I use the CAPTURE NOW function. Everytime FCP get to a timecode break, stops and tries to find the break and starts to capture again from that point. The problem is that even if the previus captured (before timecode break)clip was 3 minutes long, it is saved as a 1 frame clip (00:00:00;01)in the bin (browser). When I look at the size of the clip in the Finder, the size match the captured time (3 min) and I can watch the full clip in Quicktime.
    When I try to bring back the 3 minute clip in FCP, it still gives a 1 frame clip even if the link file is 3 min long. And it's not me in/out points and I trashed the prefs several times.
    It happenned with many tapes shot with the HDX-900 with 1 min, 2 min and 30sec clips.
    Thanks

    The timecode break happen 'cause we shoot in freeRun so the 2 cameras start to shoot at 8AM if they stop at 8:30 and start back at 9AM, so will the timecode. And they are linked with a BNC so that they have the same timecode when they shoo
    If you can "jam" code to the cameras, then I'm not sure why you are using Free Run code.
    2- It would sure work with log and capture but I ain't got time to log everything
    Not sure why you're getting the one frame clips but other than going "non-controllable" the only way around the time code breaks is to cut around them in the logging process.
