The basics: Power Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.5, 2 GB DDR SDRAM, Final Cut 6.0.4, with Easy Setup HDV 1080i60. I'm using a Sony HVR-Z1U camera and M1U deck.
I'm having trouble digitizing HDV footage, both from the camera and the deck. Each time I change shots (in other words, when I've stopped and started the record button on the camera) Final Cut acts like it has detected a time code break, and starts a new clip. It indicates one missing frame. For example, the media out of clip 1 may be 00:00:01:01, and clip 2's media in is 00:00:01:03. Yet, when I play back the tape frame by frame, I see a frame labeled 00:00:01:02. I had a similar problem previously with an SD record.
Is this a setup issue, a computer issue, or a camera issue?
Thanks!
