Time code, subtitles, and multi camera.

How can I put subtitles and time code on the picture. I also need to know how put a graphic up while I keep the audio from one of my cameras.
Thank you very much.

For subtitles use the text/Title generator and for timecode download Piero's free Timecode Display:-

Staggered Clips and Multi-Cam Editing

Good afternoon! I recently shot a memorial service with two cameras. The footage from each is staggered because one camera records to tape; the other to a 64gig SD card, and both were started/stopped at different times to allow for tape or card swaps, or battery swaps. I need guidance on how to best synch all the media that I'm bringing onto a timeline, since a synch point normally aligns the points of the first clips from Cam A and Cam B, but how do I then synch second and third clips from the two cameras? I'm sure there is a simple, practical answer, but haven't found it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Simple edit like this..
I would just lay down a Master Vid from one camera and drop shots on top if I and where I had a better shot.
He has 2.5 hours of event covered in 2 cams!
What a painful multicam session to deal with on the fly once he has gone thru and synched it in the first place. May as well cut it same time.
Multicam is really designed around multi cams in continuous run mode. 'live broadcast style'
Certainly works best if one has set up properly with decent time code / jam synch etc..

Correction and Multi-cam

I am putting together a multi-cam sequence. I have applied color correction to the clips but when I select when using the project panel I only get the original (un-corrected) clips in the sequence - what am I missing? Or do I have to do correction after compiling the multi-cam sequence?

Not quite sure I get it. How have you applied the color correction to the clips? By putting them in individual sequences? It doesn't quite work that way.
You have to make the multiclip first by setting In or Out points or putting markers in all the clips. Then right click and select make multiclip. You'll get a sequence with an icon of all the clips. Next you drag this onto the "make new item" button. This creates a multicam sequence based on the format of your media.
make new item button:
Multiclip and Sequence icons:
I always rename my sequence with "SEQ" so I can quickly tell them apart.
You edit the multicam using the "Multi SEQ" in the timeline. You will only see one audio track and one video track
To color correct an entire camera angle (at any time in the editing process), you right-click on the multiclip to load it into the timeline. You will see a video track and audio track for every angle in the multiclip Just double click the one you want to to color correct in the timeline here to load it into the Source monitor. You can color correct it there.
Hope this helps

Current Time code field and "Capture Now has reached the end of tape......"

Hi I just got my new iMac and I have lots of space. When I open up the Final Cut Pro and press the capture now it gives me the notice that it had reached the end of tape, but I haven't reached the end. I have vhs in the VCR machine and it is connected through the digital device. Not only that but my current timecode field is always running and I can't stop it. Also I used the uncontrollable device and when the tape has reached the end I tried to escape but it seizes up and I lost my capture. what shall I do?

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I'm doing this on an iMac.
What's going on with Capture Now? I know staying digital would be best. But I'm kinda doing this project to give myself some hands-on time with FCP to get familiar with it. I'd like to capture this stuff through the Log And Capture GUI if I can. Sooner or later, I'll need to do it with something else (possibly an old VHS tape) where I won't have the option of staying digital.
Anybody?

Synchronizing Multi-clip using 2 Sets of Time codes

i have some concert footage I want to edit using Multi clips...
They are all time coded....
We shot close ups in the afternoon of all songs and then the same songs again in the night .
The after-noun songs have one time code and sync great in a multi clip..same as the night ones but have different time codes....
HOW do i get the afternoun and night clips into one Multi clip ,all in sync...????? using time codes?
ROB

Did all camera rolls run throughout the entire song? Or did you have starts and stops at different points of the song.
If you're using 'Inpoints' as your sync reference, all you should have to do is set an inpoint on each camera take. The differing timecodes won't matter, just that your inpoints are all at an initial sync point.

Multi cam monitor not working

With no change whatsoever, except for the passage of time -- two days-- the multi camera display suddenly shows only the selected camera on the right.
Help, please.

Mark
Thank you for your reply and interest. Indeed I will send all you request, and I hope some answer can be found. I am getting desperate.
I am not the only one with this problem; see one with CS6,and one on Creative Cow (who gave up). Also, this effect is occurring in projects that were created weeks ago, had worked fine, have not been accessed until today, and there it is!
I am using premiere 7.2.2 and 2014. Same problem on both. Here is a screen shot of how it should be:
and here is one of what happens...
Please, please help.

Time code changes when reconnecting media

I have been working on a project for over year. Recently my computer was stolen when shooting abroad and now I had to buy a new one (leopard op sys) and reinstall my software to continue working. As I recapture the lost media a warning window pops out: "you are about to capture non drop frame media to a drop frame clip......". My media was shot with a panasonic 100a (24p), and since I started the project I have been capturing with the DV NTSC setting (it captures 29.97 drop frame). When I recapture, the clips in the browser appear as reconnected but the TIME CODE changes, and clips on the timeline referencing that media still appear offline (others don't even if the referenced clip is the same). If I try to reconnect from the timeline it tells me that media start and end do not match. I will appreciate any suggestions.

Are you using a different camera/deck to capture this time than you used the last time?

Fixing Time-code in MPEG Streamclip

Hi,
I was converting some video from a DVD recorded on a Sony DVD Recorder on a church video system to DV for later editing along with video from two camcorders (not the best configuration, obviously). Immediately upon opening in MPEG Streamclip, there was a message about ability to fix time-code errors, and I allowed that to be done before conversion, and apparently a great number were found to be fixed. What is it fixing, as in what generated time-code breaks on a continuous recording -- is the fact that the camera on this system is not generating time-codes (pretty sure it isn't) or just the nature of such a process?
Not a very important question, but curious.
Ernie

Thank you Michel!! I went to the website you posted and it said the problem was with the file QuicktimeMPEG.component found in System/Library/QuickTime. I went in Time Machine to a backup before the 10.6.3 update, recovered the QuickTimeMPEG.component file, and placed it back in the QuickTime folder to overwrite the new file. Worked perfectly and sound is playing again!
This hasn't been the only issue with Snow Leopard and the QuickTimeMPEG.component. I remember when I first upgraded the file disappeared altogether and I had to go back in Time Machine to retrieve the file.
Thanks again and I'll pass this info on!

Time Code Confusion

I'm running into a timecode problem and not sure what's going on.
Here's what's happening. I'm trying to capture the beginning of a tape. I have set my time code in and out points to 05:34:47:08 to 05:37:07:07. I'm using a DSR-11 deck which is set to display the timecode (of the tape) on my monitor. The Log and Capture window in FCP shows the same timecode that's coming from the deck. Both the monitor and log and capture will display the same time code for the out point. When I'm capturing the clip it's like FCP has a mind of it's own. It continues capturing well past the out point. When it does stop and I double click it into the viewer the output time code says 05:37:07:07, but the audio and video are different. Both the monitor and log and capture timecodes show 05:37:08:19 as the outpoint. I've captured other parts of the tape but now I'm not sure if the timecodes are correct because the "additional" footage overlapse footage that I've already captured which have different timecodes.
How do I know which timecode is correct the one that's being displayed on the monitor and in log and capture or the timecode of the captured clip? Is it possible to have two different timecodes on the same tape? The tape stock is new.
I hope this makes sense. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks.

My sequence setting is DV NTSC, 29.97 edit time base and a audio rate of 48kHz, 16 bit. The digitized clip has these setting. When I play the clip section from the DV Cam tape I get the audio as recorded at 48kHz.

Locating Time-code break GL2

When trying to capture video using FCP Studio from my GL-2, I'm getting the message "Locating time-code break" and it will not let me capture clips. When I hook the camera up to a different computer it captures the clips just fine, so the time-code on the tape is fine. This leads me to believe it's either a software or hardware error. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks,

Since my last post I have run into this same error with my g4 powerbook running final cut studio 1 (See stats below). I'm now having the same issue with a new macbook pro (2.4 GHz Intel, 2G Ram, running final cut pro 5.1.4.). I'm using the same GL2 but with different tapes. I'm thinking the issue might have something to do with the camera connection (Based on the post above). I only have one firewire port, which is attached to my external drive, and my camera is attached to my external drive. Also, I'm using firewire basic as the input selection. Why would the connection cause a timecode error. I know it's not an issue with the camera or the tape because I captured last night on an old panasonic, which worked fine. The problem is I won't always have access to that camera to capture.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Importing non-time code Audio

Hi All,
I have a project coming up where my audio is coming from old fashioned
cassette tapes.
I'm thinking the way about doing this would be to run my audio from the player into my dv deck and capture the audio via fire wire through the usual log and capture method. The only thing is the log/capture seems to always be looking for time code. Is there a way I can capture this non-time code audio and create my audio files?

To do it the way you are trying, you must go to
AUDIO VIDEO SETTINGS > DEVICE CONTROL PRESETS and choose
NON CONTROLLABLE DEVICE.
The only problem with this method is that you would not to be able to recapture the material again with a timecode that relates to your project.
If that is an issue then you might consider transferring the cassettes to DV tape first, then capture from that. (no need to select non controllable) When the project is complete, you can safely delete the media files knowing that they exist on tape as a timecode source that you can recapture should the need arise.
Good Luck

Time code with multi camera

Can FCP HD edit, restripe or offset timecode for a multicam edit with the 3 source cameras having free run their own time code..not synced?
intel mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

There's no way to do this automatically. You'll have to place and sync all clips manually.

I purchased a blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code for a digital copy. I redeemed the code on iTunes but the download has been continuing for 2 weeks now and it never finishes! The time just keeps going up. Never an issue in the past.

I purchased the blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code to redeem for a digital copy. I redeemed the code in iTunes and the movie downloaded fine, but the "EXTRAS" have been downloading for 2 weeks! Everytime I launch iTunes it starts the download again and the counter keeps going UP, at one point it said it would take 3 weeks. I have paused and restarted the download, I have deleted the download, nothing works to finish or stop this download! Does anyone have a clue what's up?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Time code finder to auto sync separate video and audio

Hi All,
Trying to see if FCP has a tool that would allow me to type in the time code from my digital slate to instantly sync separate video & audio. Shot a low budget feature on a RED and digitally recorded audio. We did setup the RED to get reference audio but now I need to sync each scene and take up to the primo audio.
As far as I know, FCP doesn't have any such option but I hope someone proves me wrong.
~reicko

This is kind of off the top of my head, since I usually sync using the "dumb" part of the slate, but here's a workflow I'd try. I'm assuming here that the timecode from your digital slate matches the audio timecode.
1. Select an audio clip in the bin. Choose from the menu Modify/Timecode...
2. Copy the Source TC value into the Aux TC 1 row. You might have to turn on some checkboxes on the left side. Make sure the format and the rate are the same for both.
3. Open the video clip in the viewer and find a frame where you can see the smart slate clearly.
4. Select Modify/Timecode... and enter the timecode value you see in that frame in the Aux TC 1 row. Again, be sure you're using the right format and rate.
5. Select the two audio and video clips that you want to sync. Choose Modify/Merge Clips... and synchronize using Aux Timecode 1.
You should then have a new merged clip with the audio and video in sync. The scratch audio that came with the video file will be there too, so pay attention to your audio patching and be careful about which tracks you actually cut into the timeline.
I can't say for sure if this is faster than just marking inpoints at the clap on each clip. Typing in all that timecode could be hazardous to one's health.

Multi cam editing, first time. Filters.

Hello
Finally getting into multi cam editing. A simple question.
I'm syncing my clips using audio, multiple clips on my time line. Should I do colour correction, transition and effects before enabling Multi-cam?
Or does enabling multi -cam remove everything?
I ask because, i did a small test with a transition, enabled Multi -cam, removed transition.

I would personally only do Colour Correction and other effects first and always do transitional effects after you've done the cut in multi-cam.
