Timecode lost after captured

I read on a post about someone having the same issue with FCE where after I capture the timecode does not show and it goes back to 00:00:00. I saw on the post that I can download a plug in called "Timecode Display" I went to the website and tried to download the plug in and only got a pdf doc. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you

Make sure FCE/FCP is shut down.
Then put the document here:- HD>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Express Support and put it in the Plugins folder.
And it should be an FxScript document not a .pdf

AUDIO LOST AFTER CAPTURE

Hi all. I am capturing from a panasonic gs 400 which indicates 16 bit audio captured ok. Tape plays back fine in camera with full audio. I have checked my settings on fce and they seem fine, pal 16 bit audio.
When I start to capture the audio registers ok in the right hand audio meter. After I capture and play the clip in the viewer/timeline there is no audio at all. Running short of ideas to fix it, any clues?
Many Thanks

Hi Ian, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I am using FCE 2.0.3
I have captured video and audio before without any problems.
The audio file appears in the timeline but there is nothing in it, the visuals are fine.
It plays fine in the viewer and registers on the meter but there is no audio after capture.
I do not seem to have the View menu>Video out etc, my system just shows view> video>reatime or firewire.
Thanks Mick

Associations lost after Capture Design of table definition

Hi,
We use Designer 6i, with versioning on.
We have a table definition T and a view definition V that uses the table definition T. In other words, there is an association in Designer between T and V.
When we Capture Design the table T from a database, the association between T and V is lost.
Is there a possibility to get a warning message in the Capture Design process that the association will be lost?
Is it possible to use a preference concerning Capture Design for this?
TIA,
Lennart de Vos

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't describe the problem properly.
I want to Capture Design a table, and not to Capture Design a view.
The issue in Design Editor (DE) is as follows:
(1) Capture Design a table T_CAPDES from the database.
(2) Create a fixed format view definition V_CAPDES in DE, based on columns of the table definition T_CAPDES.
(3) Create in the RON a reference from the view V_CAPDES to the table T_CAPDES, in the node 'Base Tables'.
(4) Modify the table T_CAPDES in the database, e.g. add a column, drop a column or change the datatype of a column.
(5) When you Capture Design the table T_CAPDES, the user receives the following information in the Message Window:
"CDS-15334 Warning: The Table T_CAPDES already exists in the Repository. NOMERGE_AND_SAC Rule selected => the captured property values will not replace the existing property values in the repository..."
The modifications in the table T_CAPDES are not visible in DE: Capture Design has not been executed for this table.
Probably this warning will be generated because of some Capture Design preferences.
A workaround is, to delete the table definition T_CAPDES in Designer and to Capture Design this table again from the database. But a major disadvantage of this workaround is, that the reference from the view definition V_CAPDES will be lost.
Bottom line: I need some more information about the Capture Design preferences in Designer?
Thanks a lot!

Metadata in Bridge CS3 lost after editing NEF file in Capture NX2

Entered keywords and metadata in Bridge CS3, edited NEF file in Capture NX2 and then all metadata in Bridge got lost even if I did not edit any metadata in Capture.
Original Bridge metadata are still saved in XMP file but Bridge does not show them nor can search or sort photos by them.
Is it a Bridge bug or is it connected with any settings?
Win XP, Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9, Capture NX2 2.2.0, Nikon D300
Will appreciate any help, thanks a lot.

First I renamed photos in Bridge - sidecar XMP files were created with the new filename already, added some keywords and metadata in Bridge. Edited photo in Capture but not changed the name again - the result was the Bridge does not show edited metadata and keywords anymore even all those info are still saved in sidecar XMP file. Capture apparently does not change XPM in any way.
It looks like all the problems are connected with renaming files in Bridge before editing them in Capture as if Bridge cannot read XMP after Capture added its own info in NEF file.

Logged Timecode Changes after Batch Capture

I'm working with the Kona 3 and the Panasonic D5 (HD3700B)
I'm having a problem with FCP changing my logged clip TC after Batch Capture in 720p 59.94. This problem only occurs in 720p mode, 1080i is just fine.
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. I'm capturing with burned in TC and the Burned in TC is Frame accurate, but why is FCP changing the clip's TC?
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. I am using a Tri-Level Sync and everything seems to be getting proper reference.
There is no reason why FCP should be changing my logged clip settings. (right?) Also, I tried a test where I made the clip that came in with the bad timecode offline, and then ran a Batch 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

I'm very curious about what yourlooking at on the deck manual. Page 145??? I don't see a page 145. It's been my understanding that the Monitor HD-SDI does produce the 720p 59.94 signal, and that's what all my monitors and Kona say that their getting.
Also, could you clarify your last sentence.
*"Forgive my guessing but this deck looks like it really wants to work in 1080 and 720 is kind of there to step up from 8 bit DVCPro HD."*
I dont think that its a 23.98 issue and our source tape is not 23.98, even still if it was, it shouldn't effect the logged TC.... but I'll try it in the morning, could'nt hurt.
Update: A person over the phone at Apple "didn't" (did) say over the phone that upgrading to 5.1 (universal) would improve 720p capabilities.
So the next step will be giving more money to Apple for Universal and installing the new Kona drivers released yesterday.....and then let the testing fun begin again.
Thanks so much for your help, please let me know where to find that info in the D5 (3700B) manual. Cheers.

Zero timecode after capture

I'm having issues with sporadic zeroing out of timecode after capture. I have two identical systems running FCP 5.1.2 and capturing with AJA Kona 3 cards running version 3.2. All of the capture presets are identical.
The process that I've been using on both systems have been as follows:
Creating a new project
Importing an XML into the project
Batch capture from the Kona card as 1080psf 23.98 DVCPro HD
The odd thing is that one system (only one of the two) sporadically zeros out the preset captured timecode for the entire XML, thusly changing a logged clip that was set to start at 13:21:14:05 and forcing it to start at 00:00:00:00. The duration of the clip remains a constant. A usual fix for this is making the captured clips offline, trashing the FCP preferences, restarting FCP and rebatching. That usually fixes it for a few days, but inevitably returns to the same old problem. I've also tried reinstalling FCP, but that hasn’t resolved it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for your help!

So, is there a way to get FCP to display Zero-Based
timecode for an individual clip? Or to get After
Effects to read the timecode embedded with the clip?
No and no.
Have you looked at this?

Timecodes Missing on Captured Clips?

After capturing DV clips, FCE refuses to show the timecode information. The FCE Browser window won't show the Media Start or End timecodes. Cntrl-click on the browser headings refuses to allow switching to logging vs standard view. The camcorder (Sony TRV9) is in the Apple approved list, and controls fine from the FCE capture window: even allowing specifying timecode start and end for the clip: then doing the clip capture at the correct times. captured video and audio are fine. But Edit-Item Properties on a captured clip in the Browser shows only format information: no tab for timecode data. Yet when I installed the i5m video filter to overlay timecode data on top of a video clip: it shows up correctly in the Viewer window: the timecode data is clearly in the clip file, but FCE refuses access to it! Tried trashing prefs, reinstalling FCE, using a different user account, rebooting and restarting camera, changing from NTSC firewire to firewire basic etc. OS 10.4.3 and FCE 3.0.1 are latest version of everything as of 12/19/05. Anyone else run into this?
G5 2.5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.3) 1GB RAM, 250/400GB SATA Drives

Tom: thanks: my confusion came from the Final Cut Express Help pdf file, but evidently its in error, and must be confusing FCP with FCE. I had even called Apple User Support and they thought the timecodes should show, but indicated that sometimes the FCE documenation confuses features that are only in FCP.
thanks for the quick response!

Audio is out of sync after capture.

I'm attempting an firewire capture from a DV source. When I'm logging clips and previewing them, the sound is fine, but when I view them after capture the audio is out of sync. I think I'm having timecode issues, is there any way around this?

I tried watching them in the timeline and viewer, all out of sync. No external monitor. I did get a message once about dropped frames and something else, it said I might have these issues, but it didn't tell me to change settings, just told me it was gonna happen, lol. So, I don't know where to start to fix it.

Audio dropping after capture

I seem to be having a problem with audio dropping out after capturing. When I play the tape back in the camera the audio plays fine so I guess it was recoreded properly on the tape but when I play the captured footage back in FCP the audio drops out here and there. I am capturing from the camera which the footage was shot on (XL2). I've searched the forms for people with the same issue but can't find anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Just to check - are you using FCP4.5 and have recently upgraded to OSX4.9? Because if so that could be the issue; it was for me for something very similar. In which case your options are to upgrade FCP or downgrade OSX.
The other thing you could try - regardless of your system and version - is to capture using Vidi - http://www.mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php (I only just recommended this to someone, I am not on commission honestly, it's free!)
I have found that Vidi will sometimes ignore timecode glitches etc that FCP is annoyingly sensitive to.

Aux timecode changes after entered in Modify Timecode window

I'm trying to manually add an aux timecode to some clips so I can edit them with multicam editing (two cameras DV, two DVCAM), the timecode itself isn't synced however I did have the cameras pointed at an external timecode generator for a few seconds so that I could get a constant, external time reference). Two of my clips accept the new timecode with no problems, however one of the other ones demands to add 8 frames to the timecode I enter, the other demands to add 14 frames.
I just realized that the DVCAM footage is Non-DropFrame timecode, but I'm adding a drop-frame timecode to it. That might explain it...

17" MacBook Pro freezes after Capture to external hard drive!!!!!! HELP!!

Ok, so i just got my new MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio last week, and i was so excited, until this happened. I was trying to log and capture a clip to my 500GB LaCie Big Disk and everything seemed to be going fine until the clip got to the end of it's alloted time and then the computer just froze. When I closed the lid and let the laptop sleep and opened it again the clip is in place and everything seems fine. I tried capturing then w/ the LaCie plugged into the FW8oo port and my miniDV Deck plugged into the FW4oo, and it froze again after capture and then worked fine after closing the lid. Thinking I was crowding my Fire Wire bus I hooked up an external USB 2.0 drive and my deck to the fire wire , but the same thing happened. So then I tried capturing to my internal and it worked fine. I've captured to an external on my 17" iMac G5 w/ Final Cut HD for years and never had a problem. Any tips? This closing the lid thing just isn't going to work.
MacBook Pro 17" Mac OS X (10.4.6)

nope, david is right on the mark. powermacs with one firewire bus choke like this. i can't understand why apple continues to design with one firewire bus but i'm not a designer. anyone, ANYONE who uses firewire harddrives and firewire tape machines/cameras for editing NEEDS to invest in a seperate sort of firewire card (pick your flavor) and then we'd see this behavior go away. then there will be those that will whine "this never happened before!" it's happening now, firewire cards a cheap insurance against these issues.

Audio and video out of sync after capture from Canon

Help for a newbie please? I have a Canon XHA1S and have a problem after capturing HD video. After capturing a 40 minute clip, the audio and video are out of sync. Seems like there is about a 3 second difference. The entire clip is like that in the source window; I made a couple of quick edits and have the same problem in the program window. Tried exiting and re-opening PP, but that didn't help. I'm running PP in CS6 on an iMac 3.4 GHz i7 with 8G of ram. Thanks!

I have NOT used it, but many say to try this for HDV capture http://strony.aster.pl/paviko/hdvsplit.htm

User Settings lost after session is released

I am having a problem with the User settings being lost after the user logs off the system.
menu settings, fields displayed in Marketing Documents, displayed User Defined fields and the
sequence of User defined fields get lost after the session ends. This does not happen to all users,
just some users. The users that keep losing their settings keep losing their settings, the ones that do not have a
problem seem never to have a problem.
has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how has it been resolved?
Thanks in Advance!!!
