How does FCP deal with time code breaks in a source tape? I have some 
video where the time code gets reset because of a gap in the 
recording. Would I have to import the remainder of the video with a

I'm actually interested in Final Cut Express, but of course it's not 
out yet. Hopefully it will behave like FCP in this case.
