HVX 200, 720pN
The clip is partly on Card 1 and partly on Card 2. During play back in the card and during play back for feed to the AJ-1200 everything is smooth as can be. Timecode runs through like it should/I expect.
I have now tried both Final Cut Pro (5.1.1) and P2 Genie and they both give the same result for ingestion of the media. The split my 1 shot into 2 clips. Then when looking at the media end point of clip 1 and the media start point of clip 2 the timecodes have a noticeable gap (more than 10 frames) between them. However, when put onto the timeline, and butted up against each other, to me the 'cut' looks seamless.
Is this just the way its done with the HVX or am I doing something wrong? Is there any software that will ingest the footage with as 1 clip (having seamed the part from card 1 and the part from card 2 during the ingestion process)? It seems like its okay, but as this is the first time we've had this happen I'm a little put out by the numbers as it were.
Also, as we are only using 4 GB cards, I'm simply burning them to DVD-R's to archive. However, when I load the two cards onto my desktop (Mac) my two icons are both called "No Name." They have the EXACT same name. So when looking at them in the finder only one icon shows up. However, I can explore each on seperately if I double click them on the desktop. They are clearly different as they have different 'Sapce Remaining' values and when I expand the Contents volume they have different .mxf's in them. So okay you figure, don't worry about it, just drag and drop them into your burner software one at a time and you're fine. But here's where the kind of issue is...when I view the LastClip.txt they are both the exact same. I am clearly looking at the card with 5 clips I open it up and read. Close the viewer, then I am clearly looking at the card with 3 clips I open it up and read and its the exact same info, even though the 'Last Clip' on card 2 is obviously a different name/clip then the one on card 1. Can anyone explain this so that I might be able to do my DVD-R backups with the confidence that I will be properly backing up my footage.
cheers.
