I'm supposed to start editing our no-budget indi-flick that's shot on the xha1 in 24f, but it's not capturing properly through Final Cut Express. I have it set up for hdv 1080i60 (no 24 frames in Express).
Every time I try to capture the footage, no-matter which tape I use, the preview is super-choppy and then pauses about 15 minutes into the capture (I'm not sure if the actual capture continues, but the tape keep playing through the camcorder). When it finally reaches the end of the tape, or if I stop it, Final Cut becomes unresponsive and I have to restart the computer.
The capture files are on the computer, but even a tape with 30 minutes worth of footage ends up splitting into about 50 individual video files, all with the audio out of sync.
It does the same thing if I try capturing the tapes through my hv20.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? If not, any recommendations for dedicated capturing programs? I'm in a bit of a hurry to piece together a teaser.
