[Tig] [tig] digitizing to drive from 8:8:8:

[Vincent G. Hogan]

Ricardo,

I strongly suggest laying off to tape and digitizing from the tape, this way you have a backup if the drive fails.

Ricardo,

The telecine can't control the G5, there's no "VTR Mode" in Final Cut. You could try the opposite, control the telecine through the G5, but I think there's no "machine control template" ready for this and it would be a major headache.

The only way I know to do this is to digitize in FCP without timecode and then change the timecode and tape name of the clip to the timecode and source name you need, but i'm not sure if doing it this way he'll be able to have a consistent EDL or Cut List, he should proceed some tests before going this way.

Also you will not be able to output a Flex file this way because it depends on controlling the VTR and stablishing a timecode in order to generate the info needed for the file. The turnaround for this issue would be making a simultaneous output to tape and to the FCP, so the pulldown cadence of the tape will be the same you'll have in the FCP.

best,
