[quote user="jef"] Oh yea firewire - As a machine control protocol it is very inaccurate. There is no guarantee that your recapture will be frame accurate to the original capture. So be prepared for things to have "slipped" a bit. Especially since it is a different machine. Jef [/quote] Ah yeah, smegging frell. I will try the tip

Thanks for the answer. [quote user="jef"] Unlinking: There is a very wierd combination of keys used to unlink a clip. You have to search help for it. This is becuase it is dangerous. Not sure from your comments if you tried / found that combo. [/quote] I searched help for this, but it only got me to the Relink menu, where an Unlink options

I thought about this too already for my future habits, about logging. It is not the same Avid system (MC 12 then, MC 3.1.1 now) and not the same resolution. The material was captured in 20:1 OMF then, now I want to capture it in DV 25 4:2:0 and the Beta material in 10:1. The VTR was a big DV Cam tape deck, now I use smaller DV cameras via Firewire instead

Thanks. I almost thought of this, but the last time it didn't work. I also get an error message at the same TC on one tape (I'm only in three tapes). I doesn't occur at the end, it occurs at 34:20:xx with the out point/mark at 44:03:21. The message is the following: Halted on clip 'Tape 500 D.02'. Exception: ADVAudioDev: Calculation

Hello. Once again my employer had the wonderful idea of having full access to an older project, whose media files have been deleted on some time ago. I still have the project of course, but during the batch capture of the DV tapes, I get the message, that capturing has to be aborted due to lack of timecode, which is understandable, as the tape has reached

Hello. I'm currently creating hundreds of groups and for better overview while synching the clips in a sequence, I pick a color for every camera (red for A, blue for B, green for C, .... up to H if the director has too much ideas). Most of the times I can use subclips for every take, but sometimes clips span two or more takes and I have to create

Hello. I'm currently working on a multi-cam candid camera project, as an assistant for digitizing the s***loads of tapes and grouping them together for editing. I have two digi beta video tracks, two to four DV video tracks, 8 audio tracks from the two betas and 3 to 8 audi tracks from the external sound recording device from Fostex. As only the

Which version of Avid Media Composer and Mac OS X do you have? Also what kind of iMac, Intel or PPC? I have successfully captured from a PD150/170 with a MacBook Pro and Mac OS 10.5.7 and Avid MC 3.1.x, and did this just by opening the capture tool and pressing the " auto configure " option, while the camera was connected and set to VCR, even

Yes, English is not my mother's tongue. I will try to consolidate first, and then just export the consolidated sequence into an OMF or OMFI MediaFiles folder. I will report back, if that worked. OP, did you manage to get your audio exported properly btw?
