Is there any way to capture just a 30 second portion of an hour long HDV recording on MiniDV tape? I have like 64 tapes I need to pull clips from and I don't want to have to capture 64 hours of footage when all I need is maybe 10 minutes worth of clips.
When I select "log and capture" in FCP it just pops up a small window that says "HDV Capture" and asks me to select a file name. From there it just automatically captures the entire tape. When I first bought my Canon A1's I was able to use the actual log & capture window, so I don't know what changed. I'm thinking it must be a setting, but everything seems set right. Capture is through a Canon HV30. Footage shot on Canon A1's in 24F.
Sequence Preset: Apple ProRes 422 1440x1080 24p 48kHz
Capture Preset: HDV - Apple ProRes 422
Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire Basic (and I've also tried HDV Firewire)
I just need to know how to get the log and capture window back so I don't have to capture entire tapes.
