Capturing Time Code Breaks

[Richard Brown]

Most DV Cams which are consumer-oriented do not maintain time code 
properly when you have multiple takes in a row, especially if you power 
down or remove the tape in-between.

In FCP, you must turn OFF the setting which aborts capture upon a time 
code break. It is under the General Preferences: "Abort capture after 
dropped frames." Uncheck this item, and further consider setting the 
capture to be a non-controllable device. The Firewire input can be used 
as uncontrollable, and then you just play the tape and select "Capture 
Now."
