Using FCP log and capture for cassettes shot in HDV 30p with my V1U. There problem is occurring between clips. I am consistently losing 6 seconds of footage between clips when I capture the footage. Occasionally, there will be a seamless transition between clips, but most of time there is a consistent 6 second delay.
I am using FCP 7.0.3
My settings are as follows:
Sequence Preset: HDV - 1080p30 (I always shoot in 30p)
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire (and it is a firewire cable I am using)
I tried switching my Sequence Preset to Apple Pro Res 422 30p and that didn't help.
Checking or unchecking "abort capture on dropped frames" doesn't make a difference.
Checking the box to limit capture to 30 minutes doesn't make a difference.
I have captured to two different types of external hard drives and my computer's hard drive, and the problems persist. I have tried 3 different V1Us and 3 different tapes and the problem persists.
Suggestions are welcome.
I have never had an issue with log and capture over the past few years with older FCP versions. So, I am wondering if it is a problem with FCP 7.0.3.
