Locating Break in Timecode

I've read similar posts on this subject but so far nothing has solved my problem. I am importing 8MM video via the Canopus ADVC110. The playback source is a Sony Handicam Video 8. Using FCE 4.0.1. Mac OS 10.5.5.
When importing video, the capture will stop and I get a message saying "locating break in timecode". It just hangs there until I finally have to press ESC. I've tried changing various settings but nothing's working. Any help?

DV Converter is the correct setting. You should not be getting the timecode error message now. There may be another problem. Make sure you have the switches on the converter box set correctly. Play the video. You should see it in the window. It's possible the analog video is too unstable and the converter box cannot handle it properly. Does the converter have a built-in timebase corrector? That's often necessary for old analog material that doesn't have a stable video signal.

  • Dropped frames-break in timecode

    need help fast!
    trying to capture an HDCAM tape that is a master. there is no break in timecode on this tape. however, i keep getting either a dropped frames message or TC break message. CPU is Dual 2GHz with 2.5 gig ram going thru blackmagic HD card with 5.5 TB Xserve Raid. shouldn't have any speed problems. everything was running fine til last week, now i can't capture. thanks for any advice.

    Hi Thomas,
    I stumbled across your post when doing a search. We're experiencing similar problems here when capturing reasonably large sized clips (10 min), the only variable being the DigiBeta deck we're using. Final Cut will pause over a random section of tape and declare a timecode break. I've checked the tapes back over the suspect sections and the timecode is intact with no breaks. I usually cancel then recapture and it won't see any break at all.
    Hardware is a dual 2.7 G5 with 2 Tb SCSI storage and 4.5 Gb RAM. OS is at 10.4.2, QT at 7.0.1. Capturing via Blackmagic DeckLink Extreme at 10bit uncompressed. The drives have no trouble with the data rate whatsoever. The system and deck are protected from power spikes with a Belken UPS.
    How did the Blackmagic update and FCP reinstall work out for you? Are you still having the problems?
    Cheers, Paul.

  • Break in timecode while filming

    My camera beeped when beginning another audio take, so I knew I had lost TC while recording.... but I thought I could capture NOW without TC. Thanks

    If you do a 'Capture Now' and you know you have Timecode breaks, set device control in FCP to "Non-Controllable Device."
    Alternatively you could dub the tape to a fresh tape (FW to FW) with new timecode, then capture from the new tape.

  • FCP 5 freezes upon break of timecode

    Wondering if anyone has had a similiar experience with FCP 5 freezing (spinning beach ball of death) after initiating a log and capture - once the timecode breaks (and remains broken) having the application freeze, and the only way out is to perform a force quit?
    Stopping the camera/disconnecting it from the computer/turning it off keeps the machine frozen, and pressing the escape key doesn't work either. My PB has just recently been formatted, with a fresh install of everything.
    Your help would be much appreciated - I don't want to have to capture in iMovie forever! (This has been my workaround until now.)

    Hi Folks, I am new to your discussion group and would like to get back to the original topic if that's O.K. I am new to FCP and have just recently wanted to check it out. I started with v.5 and have been having the same problems several of the others have had. First of all I know what a deck is and have been editing for years with the Media100 system. As soon as I tried to digitize with FCP5 the software stops a few seconds into the clip ( which is not at the very beginning of the tape) and says it has detected a timecode break. I escaped the capture and went frame by frame. There are no timecode breaks. I am not talking about a camera stop which would cause a break, I am talking about the middle of a scene. I checked the preferences and told it to "make a new clip" It is supposed to go to the break and create a new clip and go on. It did not do this. These are clips where I set the In's and Out points. I
    decided to tell it to continue and see if it would get past the break. In the pre-roll it suddenly found a new timecode break and stopped again. It never did get past the timecode break. It did not save any of the clips it was supposed to keep. I aborted the capture when it wanted me to O.K.the 33rd clip and I was still on the same 1 minute of video. I assume since the capture was eventually aborted this was the reason it did not keep any of the clips. The software never stopped the same place more than twice. It seemed to be telling me I had a roving timecode break. I checked the tape, there are no breaks.
    I spent 2 days trying to get it to digitize properly. I trashed all 4 preferences in the preference file of the user pane at least twice. I turned off the "stop at drop frame" option. I safe booted the machine and repaired permissions. I went back to the user pane and told it to "Warn me after capture". I played with all those settings with no joy. After changing the setting to warn me after capture I digitiized 3 clips sucessfully and the forth clip and beyond had timecode breaks again. Again I checked the tape frame by frame and there are no breaks. I tried to capture 1 clip at a time, without success and Logged and Captured also without success. Actually there were a couple clips that had no breaks but the software completely ignored the Out Point I had set and ran 5 minutes over before I aborted it. As a further test I went back to Media100 and the capture went off without a hitch. On the clips that were successful the audio sounds like crap. The audio drop outs were enormous. Mixdown helped only marginaly.
    My equipment startes with a Sony DSR-80 DVCam deck. The signal is routed thru a matrix switcher to an AJA IO LA box and into my G5 duel processor thru firewire. I am capturing to a G-Raid not my hard drive.
    I don't know what else to try. I have posted on the Boston User Group and the LA User Group. No one seems to have a solution other than doing a Capture Now with the setting of Uncontrollable Device selected. This is not the way this software is supposed to work. Is there a bug in the FCP5? There are a lot of people having this same issue after they upgraded to V.5. I did not have an earlier version and started off with v.5 I would appreciate any thoughts. Is there anything I missed trying? Sorry about the book. Its been along week of trial and error.

  • Changing home direcotry location breaks mobile account sync

    Dear all, hope you could help me with the follow problem:
    I recently transferred my users' home directories to a new NAS.
    The old home location was e.g. afp://192.168.1.7/homes/user1 (old nas)
    I moved them to afp://192.168.1.9/homes/user1 (new nas)
    For all networked accounts things work fine.
    I have a 1 mobile account user (i.e. user1). When logging in, or when performing home sync, the client keeps on searching for the old nas (i.e. 192.168.1.7), although in workgroup manager I removed all references to the old nas, and updates the home location to the new nas.
    What's wrong? Is there a file locally on the client that stores information about the home location that is not updated? Can I change or delete that file???
    Thx for any help,
    Best regards,
    Stefan.

    you can change this on the client side by modifying the OriginalHomeDirectory and OriginalNFSHomeDirectory attributes in the user's account config.
    check the current config with dscl . -read /users/username on the client side.
    alternatively, you could create a new mobile account with /System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/Resources/createmobilea ccount (run without options for usage details).

  • Help with Batch Capturing, Timecode Issues?

    Hi Final Cut Pro Pro's. I've just come over from Avid.
    I have a problem with capturing - I have a lot of tapes to capture and there is no way I will make deadline doing it by individual capture - I need to batch capture. My tape shows no timecode breaks and I have already spent hours logging all the various clips. It shows it has registered all of the media start/end timecodes, but when I click on batch capture, it says
    BATCH CAPTURE: TIMECODE ERROR: UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SPECIFIED TIMECODE. YOU MAY HAVE SPECIFIED A TIMECODE WITH INSUFFICIENT ROOM FOR A PRE/POST ROLL OPERATION.
    I don't understand as there is clearly a functioning timecode? This is going to break my balls if I have to go through this individually, no time! Anyone? Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    I'm capturing from the camera directly, a Sony DSR-250...
    It turns out that yes, if you have marked the in/out point too close to the head or the tail of the tape, or even if you have marked it okay and are currently at the start/end of tape when pressing on batch capture it cannot send the command to the device. If you move forward or backward accordingly by five or six seconds it doesn't come up anymore.
    Thanks for all the responses, I'm going to make deadline now. Apple forums are my hot hot S€X.

  • Pre-Loading Timecode on a Tape

    I'm sure this has been answered here. However, I did a search and could not find the answer. (I may not be thorough, but at least I'm honest)
    What is the best process for "pre-loading" a tape with timecode? I want to eliminate the situation where I get a break in timecode on the tape.
    Is it as simple as just putting a tape in the camera and hitting record until the tape runs out? Or is there a better way?

    Kevin, JohnAlans suggestion is a common practice, particularly with analog tape for 'insert' editing purposes.
    I've read though, that this may not be optimal for 'shooting' DV tape, as it can cause strange behavior, were there to be any..camera induced timecode breaks.
    Best practice for this comes down the the shooter.
    - 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.
    Hope that helps,...I was understanding your question to deal with 'timecode breaks' that affect captures. If you're concerned about 'blacking' tapes for editing, that's a different deal.
    Kevan
    EDIT - I knew I missed something...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 (DON'T) use 'free-run' timecode. It will make editing an absolute nightmare.

  • Batch Capture : Timecode Error?

    So I am attempting to capture my first video onto FCP from my Canon XL. I have about 5 minutes of video and I have logged the info for each clip. They are all in my "Bin 1" and it is set as a "logging bin." The first logged clip that i want it to capture i have marked the "In Point" at 00:00:00;00 and the "Out Point" at around 00:01:09;24. The rest of my 11 clips just go in order (i.e. 2nd clip: In = 00:01:09;25 etc...). After doing all of this I click on "Batch" under the "Capture" option, a big black screen pops up over my FCP with the capture info underneath the black screen in a gray strip. My camera then rewinds to the beginning and STOPS. I then have to sit and wait for anythin to happen, my camera still saying "STOP," and then a message pops up reading the following:
    Batch Capture: Timecode Error: Unable to locate the specified timecode. You may have specified a timecode with insufficient room for a pre/post roll operation.
    I have no idea what this means and I am beginning to get impatient with capturing my video. In the Log and Capture window, the tab that says Logging, i did not mess with the "Markers." I don't know if this matters.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated so that I can start editing my project with this wonderful software otherwise.
    God bless,
    |-(|:^D
    `

    In standard trim, FCP needs at least 5 seconds preroll before capturing. The preroll is so the tape can get up to speed, the heads read timecode accurately and so on. You have discovered what happens when you give it no oppertunity to sort itself out.
    The simple answer for your current situation is to set your first in point 10 seconds after the start of the time code. Be sure to make sure your last clip's OUT point is 10 seconds or more before the end of time code or you can have problems at that end of the capture as well.
    The long term answer is next time let the camera run for a minute or two before you start recording anything you will want to keep. The same is true for the end of the tape - let it run for another half minute or so.

  • "locating time code brake".???

    Ok, so I’m importing, and every while it will stop and do the “locating time code brake”….but it’s a solid peace of film…the cam was never paused and never turned off what is going on?
    I can stop the import, rewind a bit, and then let it import again, and sometimes it will import no problem, and some times it takes a few tries…any ideas?

    The timecode brake is located between the timecode clutch and the timecode accelerator pedals.
    The best head cleaner is a liquid solvent applied with a lint-free cloth or swab. You want to clean the heads themselves, the pinch rollers, and the entire tape path.
    It's pretty darn hard to clean these itsy bitsy cameras and decks without some disassembly. If you have ANY qualms about taking something apart, DON'T.

  • Captured 24A footage wildly out of sync in FCP, but fine in QT

    I just captured a bunch of 24A footage I shot on my Panasonic DVX100A and was dismayed to find that the clips were all wildly out of sync when I opened them in FCP--even though they are fine when I open the captured files directly in QT on my desktop. But when I play these same clips in FCP, the audio slips so steadily out of sync that on one 47 minute take, the video ended seven minutes before the audio, so the clip ends with seven minutes of sound against a black screen!
    I actually found a workaround for this problem in a thread started by another poster with a similar sync problem. On that thread someone suggested that if I simply opened the underlying file as a QT movie on my desktop and then edited a second or two from the beginning, and saved it as a new Self Contained QT movie, I could import that one into FCP and it would have no sync issues. For reasons I still don't quite understand, that workaround solved the problem almost every time.
    Until now, when not even that convoluted solution seems to help with this latest clip. Even after shaving the ends and saving it with a new name, the resultant QT file still imports into FCP with the same off sync problem.
    Obviously, the best solution would be to figure out why clips are capturing with bad sync in the first place. For the record, I've shot and captured many, many hours of 24A footage from this camera in the past without experiencing any syn issues. As far as I can tell, the audio was shot and captured at 48.0 KHZ, just like always. (And the out of sync clip shows up as having 48.0 KHZ audio in the FCP browser.)
    Since it was shot at 24A, I captured it using Advanced Pulldown removal as always. (Oddly, I notice in the browser info window that the clip shows up as 29.97 fps and not 23.98--if that's a clue to anyone.)
    Thanks for your guidance on a sticky issue that has me stopped in my tracks.

    Hello GeeFor,
    I was browsing for a different audio sync issue and came across your post. It caught my attention because I believe that I've ran into the same problem before and figured out what causes it, so I thought I'd share my experience.
    You said that you've noticed that FCP initially recognizes the problem clips as 29.97, even though you've captured the 24PA footage with Advanced Pulldown. I've found that if, while you are capturing 24PA footage, you allow the capture to go beyond the recorded footage and into blank tape, that FCP recognizes the entire clip as 29.97. This causes audio sync problems, and if you end up trying to do a final export, will cause video problems as well.
    I've successfully duplicated this problem and the solution is to make sure to stop your capture before your 24PA footage ends and blank tape begins. One way to avoid the problem is to record black to the entire tape while on the 24PA setting prior to filming. I normally just record an extra minute or two while on location at the end of the footage.
    I think your work around in Quicktime works because you are effectively removing the break in timecode at the end of the clip, therefore FCP sees a start and end timecode that matches the 24PA settings.
    I hope this fixes your issue, I'd be curious to know if it does. I did a lot of trial and error to figure out what my problem/solution was and I couldn't find anything in the forums that helped with my particular issue.

  • Capture past gaps

    I am having a problem capturing video from tapes where the moron has stopped the tape, rewound, and played past the end of the existing video and started recording again, multiple times.
    It seems that the fix would be to copy the tape from deck "A" to deck "B" , NEVER stopping anything until the end of the source tape and then capture the whole tape in deck "B", right???
    Wrong, FCP still throws up at the video breaks and whines like a baby. Why?? I can take care of the "Junk" on the timeline, thats what "Editing" is, right.
    So whats the fix??? Some of my source tapes are full of these "Breaks".
    Thanks

    Well, you can't copy via firewire that way, because, AFAIK, it will break the timecode in the same way. The only way you can dub tape to tape and make NEW code is to go composite out, or component, or SDI if you have it (if DV has it). Yes, that will result in quality loss.
    Or...
    Manually capture each clip. Start the tape...hit CAPTURE NOW...when it hits a break, it'll stop and make a clip. Manually go to the next location and do so for the next clip.
    And fire your cameraman.

  • Device not found after system update

    After running a system upate from 10.4.0 to 10.4.11, Final Cut Pro no longer finds my camera at startup. Refreshing device in FCP does nothing. I tried installing the Pro updates, deleting preferences, and repairing permissions. The camera is found in iMovie and System Profiler, so it's not a hardware issue. If I need to downgrade the OS, to what version, and how do I update from 10.4.0 to something other than 10.4.11?

    Ya know? They have such a bad rap generally with their interface with FCP that I shy away from using them... Sony cameras seem to always work, as do Panasonic units... can't say I know more than that, but Apple has tested many cameras and there is a list of what device control setting to use here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php#results If you search with all, canon, all... you'll see the basic setting is pretty much every camera in every version of FCP with few exceptions.
    I think the bad rap comes from the timecode signals recorded with them.. they seem to be weak enough that many times FCP reports a break in timecode where there really isn't one... Can't say why, but if you just search this forum on "Canon" you'll find a lot of problems with the interface with FCP. Been that way for years too.
    If you're really going to go through a revert, I'd suggest you go all the way and reformat the startup disk and install it all again.. might use another drive for this and keep your current setup. That's what I've been doing for quite some time now, and it lets me "ease" into new OS's and versions of software that way. Also allows me to setup beta startup disks for beta testing that I do for a bunch of folk.

  • Preview disabled, importing clips from imovie

    I just got a Canon Optura 60 video camera.
    I'm in a hurry to get the clips into final cut and the log and capture procedure is time consuming and confusing.
    plus my preview is disabled in the log and capture window and I just read a long thread about this problem.
    it seems to conclude that the solution is to deinstall quicktime 7 reinstall quicktime 6, which I can't do with 10.4.
    I already figured out how to easily get the clips out of the camera and into iMovie, but I want to edit in Final Cut. I have a LaCie 250gig hard drive for media storage.
    Is there an easy way to import the clips from iMovie to final cut pro HD 4.5? thanks

    so far, by logging in the clip I even got preview to work, and the final cut is moving the clip around in the camera. but I still haven't managed to actually capture the clip. when I try capture now, it justs waits for time code.
    when I log in the clip and click on capture clip, the clip appears in the preview window, and then I get an error message: "unable to locate a specified timecode. you may have specified a time code with insufficient room for a pre/post roll operation"
    so how do I enter the time code?
    or could it be that I did not enter time and date on video camera?
    If anyone knows of a step by step book for idiots that says 1, plug in firewire, 2 go to log and capture, and so on, I would happily buy it.
    thanks ever so much

  • FCP & VTR error messages

    I have been installing several FCP 5.1 on new MacPro Intel G5's since last December. And I have been getting reports from the editors who operate these systems that they are getting error reports from FCP about the VTR. We have tried many different approaches to solve the problem, but to no avail. Part of the problem is that it is intermittent. What we are using are brand new MacPro Intel G5's with with 8GB RAM. Besides the internal OS drive, there is another internal 500GB drive for FCP media. The MacPro is at 10.4.8. FCP is at version 5.1.4. We are using Blackmagics MultiBridge Pro as the video/audio interface. That is at version 5.9.2 which is current. This uses the Decklink machine control software which is also 5.9.2. We connect machine control via a 9 pin RS-422 cable. The video is connect via the SDI port on the MultiBridge and the SDI on the VTR. We are using the 8 bit uncompressed setting. The throughput on the hard drive is more than adequate. Audio is analog. The tapedecks are Panasonic DVC Pro. We are using the Panasonic RS-422 protocol setup in FCP Device Control Setup. What the editors are reporting is that while digitizing they will get this error message on the screen and FCP stops digitizing. The first error message reads as follows "Tape trouble. Check VTR. Do not attempt to eject tape or use transport without checking VTR first." They will then click the OK button and this error message will appear twice again. After the third time they get this message. "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape. All existing footage between the point where you started the capture and the end of the tape was captured successfully" They click on OK and the error message disappears and that is it. The VTR is still running and is not at the end of tape. The editors rewind the tape to where the digitizing was halted and then begin again to digitize. The error message may or may not appear again. There is no break in timecode. FCP does not crash, there is nothing listed in any of the log files. Has anyone else run across this? Anyone have any ideas for a solution? We've tried just about everything we can think of. Thanks in advance for the help.

    I have a problem tape that gives me the message "Capture Now has reached the end of the tape, etc." every 18 seconds or so after which the VTR stops and happily starts to rewind. The tape was recorded in DVCAM and I had no problem capturing it some time back in November on a different machine. Now the same client wants me to capture it again and the tape simply does not work.
    As I have saved all the previously captured material on the original drive in the office and also made a backup tape on a miniDV cassette (again recorded in DVCAM), I thought that the backup tape would work but no such luck! The symptoms are the same - 17-18 seconds of playback, then "end of tape" and rewind. This behavior does not change when I simply play the tape back or try to capture to FCP, iMovie or iDive. Setting capture to Non-controllable device also did not help because it was the VTR that could not handle the tape, not FCP.
    This is very strange - the first capture in November gave me no trouble. Then I used a new Sony HDR-25 or some such deck, at home I have a new DSR11; the tape is the same. Going in 18-second capture sessions, I have downloaded all the material that the client needs but it was very embarrassing sitting near the guy and not being able to reign in the machinery. I searched this forum but found no workaround. Can anyone point to a place where things like this get explained, advice given, empathy offered? Thank you.

  • Error message when trying to capture video

    I am trying to capture video into FCE using a Sony MiniDV camera, the same one the footage was shot on, with a firewire connection. Every time i try to capture the footage, either using Capture CLip or Capture Now, it stops after about 10 seconds and gives me an error message that says there is a problem with my footage. I can play the footage back fine on my camera and there is no break in timecode. When i capture other footage shot on a different camera, using my Sony camera to capture, it works fine.
    I bought a minDV head cleaning tape and ran it, it didn't help. Is it possible the settings on my FCE are wrong for the particular way i shot this footage? It was shot at SP. Or could it be a problem with my camera that made the footage damaged when i shot it?
    Please help!

    Most probably a tape problem on the original recording.
    You know this information, and you know you've been doing it for years. We don't know that. We're trying to help you, and we can't see your system, what you're doing, or what you know. We have to guess, one step at a time. From what I can glean from the message, I can't see it being anything but a recording problem on the tape, or a recording problem in relation to the playback device, but those are pretty rare occurrences for cameras and decks that are properly maintained.
