acutally, I tried both these options and neither worked.

I have this problem regulary. Two options works:

As J.Reed is explaining, in the digital cut windows, use Mark In time instead of Sequence time option; in the "Mark in" section of the digital cut enter the starting timecode of your sequence (9:59:30:00). Output.

Another trick is to create a new sequence then, by loading your older sequence in the source monitor, overwrite to the new timeline.

np...I just set my "in" point on the digital cut menu (where I want the deck to start recording...after I have blacked the tape)...than via the digital cut menu I have the deck go to that in point...than I put it into record. The key is to have the deck go to that in point before you tell it to record...for some reason if not, it loses track of the timecode. Hope this is clear.

My apologies If I'm being thick. When you enter the In point on the deck and then put it back into remote, it still uses that mark on the deck and not whatever has appeared as the in point in the sequence time on the digital cut tool?

This use to always just work. I'm hoping the last software update fixes this and the myriad other issues I've been having....

yes...I set an "in" time on the record deck...than have the record deck "go to" that time exactly...than hit "digital cut"...

Hope that works.

Do you mean you set the record deck time instead of using the Sequence time? I tried that with no luck.

I've had the same problem and solved it by entering the timecode I wanted to start recording than having the deck go to that timecode...than hitting digital cut...works every time.

apologies, I'm fried.

For our HD outputs it's the HDW1800 for the SD outputs is an DVW-M2000.

I seem to have had the issue on both.

kinozoom:
Also should mention that I'm downconverting it to SD anamorphic.

Why are you using a HDW 1800 HD deck?

Re: Digital cut goes in at random TC

TCurren — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:42:28 GMT

There is a setting for looking at the frame converted TC vs. the tape TC.

I have set the deck (HDW1800) to regen internal TC. I doubt it has the settings the 5500 or 5800 has to read converted TC but what is the setting called?

I'll look.

And make sure your deck is set to read the proper TC. On the 5500 and 5800, you can tell it read converted TC or actual tape TC down the 422 line. If you are set for the wrong one, that throws Avid for a loop.

I've hit this a few times now. Unfortunately, I can't remember how I solved it and I'm not at work right now. I do know the usual steps did not help. Those would be:

Re-Autoconfigure the deck

Restart

New user settings

Throw away MC State, etc.

Also, make sure your deck is set to Regen Internal TC. Otherwise you could be laying down goofy code.

It wouldn't work with In and out's mark. I can sometimes get it to work when I select "entire timeline". But even that stopped working when I had to do an insert, I tried to make a subsequence so I could use "entire timeline" to no avail.

or are you asking if there are any marks at all even if I've got entire sequence selected. In fact I did, I had my in and out marks at the start and end of the sequence.

Any other ideas?

Hi Larry,

This is a random stab in the dark, but there aren't any ins or outs marked on the sequence you're trying to lay off, are there?

good luck,
Carl
