I never had a dropout with the dvx100.
But a while ago I decided to not use the dvx100 anymore for capturing, since i realized the hour meter was going up fast.
So i started using my old sort-of-faithful panasonic ds28 camcorder for capturing dvx100 footage (after running some head cleaning cassette). The smaller camcorder generates dropouts here and there (it always did in playback since the very first tape i shot with it), about 1 every 5-20 mins. But playing back the same bit of tape usually there's no dropout anymore (and it may show up in another part).
Anyway, sometimes (very often indeed) you realize there's a dropout in the captured footage only after you put it in your timeline and possibly only after you export the movie.
- At this point, what's your procedure to fix the problem?
Personally, i re-acquire the bit of footage with problems (just the bit i used in the timeline, not the whole thing), let's say 5 seconds. then i trim it exactly like the damaged part i already used in my timeline (using the timecode references) and re-apply the possible effects that bit had.
And i do that with all the bits with problems (if more than one), even if they're coming from the same originally captured footage.
I was wondering if there's a better way than this to solve the problem.
