Change Media End Time

Is there a way to change the media end time? I had edited a project about a year ago and I'm trying to recapture the footage to make some modifications. The original media end time, according to the project, is 01:05:15:15 but now when I try to capture it the the tape ends at 01:05:08:xx. I've tried changing the capture mode from Firewire NTSC to Firewire NTSC NDF but this doesn't solve the problem.
The ONLY thing I can think of is I may have originally captured the footage using my Canon XL1-s but am now trying to capture using my Sony DSR-11. Could this be the problem? If so, how can I fix this issue?

The problem is I have everything in a sequence cut exactly how I want it from a year ago so if I recapture the footage new I essentially will have to re-edited the sequence... something I'm not too keen on doing and will only do as a last resort. < </div>
Yes, umm, duh. That is a new issue. Your original post implies you have a single media file that is giving you trouble.

According to my unique teleportation and extra sensory skills which allow me to not only read your mind but see your work in progress, (I like the monitor mojo, BTW, cute.), this is a fundamental drop/non-drop issue for which you will find all the assistance you need within the manuals for FCP, your Canon and your DSR11. That's not to say it will be easy to find or interpret, but it's all there.
If you cannot convince your Sony to read Canon's timecode properly and are not able to acquire the original Canon deck, you face the interesting prospect of reassembling your project from scratch which we fully understand you are loathe to do. Looking at your timeline, I'd be irked about that alternative, too.

  • If I have changed my end times of songs will they burn that way on a cd?

    I've made a playlist, I really want all the songs on the one cd for my car and I'm about 1min or so over the 80mins.  So I decided to change the end times of all the songs - but it hasn't made a different to the total playing time (at the bottom).  So now, if I burn the cd, will it burn the proper songs or will it burn to my new end times?

    That really does not work since music is not included in the backup.  See:

  • Video start and media end time stamps get lost

    Premiere Pro CS4  is not keeping the tape's media start and end times as well as the Video In and Out Points.
    It never was a problem with earlier versions but this began the on the very first use of CS4.
    I use these time stamps to keep track of the chronilogical order of the clips.
    Anyone ever had this problem.
    Thanks

    This problem occurs after mini DV tapes have been loaded in.  It has happened with both my older panasonic AG-DVC30 and my newer AG DVX100.
    It is really annoying because I count on using those time stamps to coordinate the addition to the clips into the editor.
    It seems that I've lost some of the time stamps after they have all been loaded in.  Like when I start up Premiere Pro CS4  a second time on the, the next day, I find even more of the time stamps missing, over in the project pane.  I probably should carefully document that to be sure.  Could be significant in the troubleshooting process.

  • Change Media Start Time

    I've been working my way through an inability to archive a project in Media Manager. As it turns out...all the clips creating problems for MM to delete unused material were clips captured in FCP 2 & 3.
    This seems to relate to Media Start times being 00:00:00;00 instead of the 01:00:00;00. The clips play and edit without any problems but MM cannot deal with them.
    1) Does anyone know how to adjust the 'media start' value under properites.
    2) If not, any recommendations on exporting - reimporting?

    The problem was indeed related to the clips captured through older versions of FCP. Although the clips played and edited through a sequence without problems, Media Manager was unable to condense/compact (delete unused portions) them during archive.
    I believe this was do to the lack of embedded values for source timecode...either starting value or time-code type, etc.
    SOLUTION:
    1) Select the clip
    2) Under the MODIFY menu select TIMECODE
    3) Clip "Source" box. You can leave the rest default
    This will correct the strange MediaManager behavior. Couple of notes though regarding this...
    I experiecned random crashes after clicking "OKAY" on MODIFY>TIMECODE. After you reopen, you can attempt this again and it will be fine. So save after each clip correction (if you have multiple clips needed the procedure).
    Also, I did not experiment with clips that were made independant or have a missing master. If the clip has been made independant...then I assume fixing the master will not correct the issue for the independant.

  • Can't view time or change start/end time of clip

    Using imovie '09 and have several events that I imported from .mov files. imovie displays the total length of the clip but when I run the cursor over the clip in the browser the little timer window that pops up says "Created:" followed by the date/time that it was originally imported from a camera into .mov format. Every other file that I've imported directly into imovie from a camera gives me the running time of the clip as I run the cursor through the clip. I've tried to adjust the clip's date/time but it won't let me create a start/end time - regardless of what date/time I put in it assigns the same date/time to the start and end of the entire clip and doesn't show any running time so I can't mark/note specific times in the clip that I want to later select. Not sure why this is happening with these specific clips that were imported from existing .mov files - possibly because these clips were originally imported onto a pc and converted into .mov files, then imported into imovie after that? I still have the original tapes so I could import to imovie from scratch but would prefer not have to to do that as this makes up 20 hours of vid. Any solutions?

    You might get a better response to your question over in the iLife > iMovie community. This forum is iMovie for iOS so most visitors here are working on a different platform, and while some may know about both products, many won't, me included.

  • When inputing the time, my calendar always changes the end time to a "one-hour" segment, how do I change this?

    Trying to set up appointments on my calendar. When I input the time, the calendar defaults to a "one-hour" segment. How do I fix this?

    To change the default event time go into Tools-Options-Calendar-General and set the duration time.
    No menu bar with Tools? Press the alt key.
    To be able to change the time when setting the individual event, click on the link icon to the right of the time fields. If the points of the links are touching the duration time is locked to the default. If the points are separated you can set any duration.

  • Media Start and End times have changed.

    Hello,
    I have an old project from which I off-lined all footage to save disk space. I only saved the Project files. Now when I open the project to do some changes I naturally have to recapture the original footage. The problem is that some clips have weird media start and end times that don't match the time code on the tapes. Therefor I cannot batch capture them, and the referenced cuts on the timeline reflect these weird time codes as well. Can anyone tell me why this has happened and how I might work around it so I don't loose my edits. Please and thanks!

    anybody have a solution to this yet?
    I opened up an FCP4.5 project into 5.1.4, batch captured some clips, and it changed the Media Start times to 00:00:00;00, and the Media End times then matched the Duration times.
    Anybody know how to prevent this? How about how to repair it?
    In case this matters, or is relevant, when I do a Batch Capture of a clip, it is playing it TWICE in the capture process. No dropped frames along the way, it just plays through it in normal stuttery capture mode, rewinds, plays through again, leaving successful Capture (though with aforementioned Media times problem AND with occasional audio/video out of sync).

  • Change morning event's end time makes it PM

    Using iCal 2.0.5 ... if I create an appointment at, say, 8am the default end time is 9am. If I change that end time to 10am, the AM changes to PM. (If I change minutes, it doesn't seem to do this - only when I change an AM end time to another AM end time.)
    Now it gets weirder ... if I create an appointment at 4am and change the end time from 5am to 10 am, the am changes to pm. But if I change the end time from 5am to 9am, it doesn't. Then, if I change that new end time of 9am to 10am, it stays am. It's only when I change the end time from 5am to 10am, it changes.
    I also tried this on my PowerBook G4, and the same thing happens.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Anything I can do about it?

    What do you mean, screw on fans?
    I'm not familiar with current ASUS mobo's. Base your choice first on chipset and socket, then on RAM, then on other features.

  • Changing event's end time changes AM to PM ... sometimes

    Using iCal 2.0.5 ... if I create an appointment at, say, 8am the default end time is 9am. If I change that end time to 10am, the AM changes to PM. (If I change minutes, it doesn't seem to do this - only when I change an AM end time to another AM end time.)

    I'm not sure if it is Time Machine that is adding the additional numbers to the end of the name of the Macs, but it is definitely a bug associated with Yosemite.
    All that you can do at this time is open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Sharing and edit the name of the Mac so that it displays correctly.  You may have to do this almost daily, since the bug will continue to add (2), (3), (4), etc to the name of a Mac.
    We will have to wait for a fix from Apple.

  • 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!?

  • Changing Media Start and End of Logged Clips

    This should be really simple, and I'm sure I'm just overlooking something. I am trying to recapture some clips in Final Cut Pro and it was fine until I came to a clip that gave me the "timecode error - pre roll, post roll, etc" message. The Media Start on the problematic clip is at 00:00:01:04 - I want to manually change this time to allow pre-roll. The timecode in the "In" and "Out" sections isn't making a difference and seems unrelated - no matter what I put it to.
    So I just want to edit the Media Start time as I'm sure this would remedy my timecode error when trying to capture... but I can't edit that field. What am I doing wrong? How do I change the Media Start time?
    I could recapture the whole tape independently but I already have sequences edited based on my previously logged clip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    If you are re-capturing then you must have used Capture Now to get the clip first time round or you would have run into the same trouble with pre-roll. You'll have to capture the clip again using the same method. Of course, the chances of getting the same start and end code using Capture Now are slim, but if you can get in earlier and out later then you should be able to manually re-connect the clip.

  • 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?

  • Moved media files relink with different start/end times

    Hi all,
    I'm really stuck here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
      I've got a number of FCP projects which use media from one drive.
    The drive containing this media is soon to be in use by another project so I have done a direct copy of all the media onto another drive using finder. Literally a drag and drop copy of the files.
    However, when I re-open the project and relink to the 'new' files on the new drive I am getting multiple "different start/end times" errors causing all the edited clips to play from the wrong times.
    How can I stop it changing the time code when doing this?
    Thanks
    YD

    On closer inspection, this only seems to be affecting BWavs, if that helps at all?
