Replacing Dropped/Digitized Frames at DVinfo.net

Rob Wilson · April 11th, 2003, 08:54 AM

Just about completed my first project in Premiere 6.5 and have a couple of spots where either frames have digitized or apparently were dropped. I would like to just replace the individual frame so I avoid messing up anything on my timeline (being a newbe at this, I've been surprised a couple of times when everything moved and all my transistions disappeared unexpectedly.) When I batch captured clips, it appears Premiere assigned new time code starting at 0:00:00 on each. Is there anyway to corolate/identify the original time code from the source tape so I can just re capture those few frames and replace the bad ones?
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints (or good natured kidding).

Sooo, since no one has any ideas on how to do this, is it safe to assume that it can't be done and I just need to recapture the entire clips, reset in/out points and replace those in my timeline?

The best way is to recapture just the clip you want. If you've got continuous timecode on your tape it shouldn't be a problem.. if you open the clip in the Monitor window and click on Monitor Window options there should be an option that says 'use zero-based timecode' or something. If this is disabled, Premire should use the original timecode from the tape. You can then log that and recapture the clip.

Good luck!
