I think I've read somewhere that to use batch capturing in premiere pro,
the source tape must have continuous timecode...is this true?
I'd much prefer to use in/out points to tell pp the clips i'd like to
capture across the tape, as opposed to the manual capture using the
record button on the capture window. However, whenever i try to use
batch capturing, i set the in/out points of the first clip (as a test),
start the batch, the tape winds up then stops, and pp immediately tells
me that no frames were captured. Pretty frustrating. Could this be
happening because of the jumpy timecode from clip to clip (order on tape
= soccer game 1 for ~10 minutes; next recording on the tape = soccer
game 2 with new timecode....).
On a side note, would a specialty capture program like Scenalyzer handle
jumpy timecode better?
For those of us who are non-professionals, should we be prerecording
blank video (black, with the lens cap on???) on every single new tape,
kinda like formatting a disk? Given that it's digital media (minidv),
that shouldn't hurt the quality of the "real" recordings, correct?
Thanks!
