With Wondershare DVD Ripper. </p> <p>The video looks and plays fine on my screen. However when I output from Final Cut Express the video doesn't seem to have the right frame rate. any motion from dancers results in tracers or ghosting of moving arms/legs. </p> <p>I'm fairly certain it is a frame rate issue I tried everything to make them look nice and smooth but I'm not a video professional just a guy hired to run the camera and edit the dances.. </p> <p>Any advice or help would be appreciated.</p> <p>screen grab below</p> <p><a href="http://web.me.com/smileymedia/Site/Blank.html" rel="nofollow">http://web.me.com/smileymedia/Site/Blank.html</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-code-problems#post-46251 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 17:38:51 +0000 robGRAUERT 46251@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>If it's anything like Final Cut Pro:</p> <p>In the Log and Capture window, in the "Capture Settings" tab, try changing "Device Control" to non-controllable device. FCP will no longer control your camera or deck, and you will have to press play on your camera or deck to get the tape rolling before clicking the "capture now" button.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/time-code-problems#post-46247 Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:06:00 +0000 brttwbbr12345 46247@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I filmed a wedding with 2 other people... all ended well except the first tape some how recorded the entire thing without a time code...</p> <p>when I try to import the footage into Final Cut Express it shows up in the preview but not in the main capture now screen...</p> <p>if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/easy-way-to-log-time-code#post-40911 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:38:20 +0000 EarlC 40911@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> If you need to ADD/READ timecode MarkerTek, B&amp;H &amp; other houses, sell stuff made by Horita that will do the job - several types of timecode reader/generators. I use one for making VHS timecode dubs for clients to generate their EDLs with.</p> <p>But, as has been said, virtually ANY device, from camera to player and/or player/recorder deck, operating in the current MiniDV, or even DVD environment, offers visual time code that is accurate enough to plan your project using the old method of stopping/starting and writing down the numbers on a tablet.</p> <p>Most editing systems dealing with today's production platforms/formats, such as Final Cut Pro, even the diverse Casablanca models and series from its early days to date, offer accurate timecode or runtime feedback. FCP and 3rd party software for it and may other platforms also offer varying degrees of automated or hand written EDL generation and editing planning.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/easy-way-to-log-time-code#post-40907 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:34:37 +0000 robGRAUERT 40907@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> what's "marking time code?" Do you mean logging the tape? You can use a tape deck, for example, i have a miniDV tape deck.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/easy-way-to-log-time-code#post-40906 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:36:10 +0000 ruez30 40906@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there a piece of machinery that will mark time code instead of having to use the camera? and what is the easiest way to log time code?</p> <p>Thanks alot!</p> <p>ruez30</p>
