Yes, I tried it this way too, and it didn't work. So next I went to the adjacent preview area, chose a random in-point after where the last one left off, and captured this segment. It worked, but when I brought both pieces into my time line (yet to be bridged by the third missing segment), FCP froze. And I mean really froze. Even after shutting down my computer, I was returned instantly to this locked up project and spinning beach ball. Can't even force quit. I'm really stuck, and have a feeling these HD CAM transcodes have something to do with it. Any help would be appreciated.
