Hi Fellow Editors,

Although Tim K. responded to my previous posting on this problem I have not arrived at a solution. His suggestion was that I may have a corrupt OS. It seemed to be a succesful clean install of SE 7.0. I'll try Renommee Support via email (again), but in the meantime I'd like responses from anyone who is aware of this problem:

HDV Downconvert at the camera; Canon XH A1 and HV 20 both used in test. Reno + : SYSTEM SETTINGS > ADDITIONAL SETTINGS > CUT RECOGNITION > TIME. Project Setting is, of course, 16:9 Anamorphic. Record footage continuously, then AUTO SPLIT. Multiple scenes appear in the bin. So far - so good... until trimming reveals that EVERY SCENE resulting from the split begins with exactly 2 frames from the end of the previous scene. In other words, there is a "lag" in the AUTO SPLIT.

Any more ideas? Tim? Lou? Chet? Beachy?

Thanks from Robert in Granite Bay, CA.

Are you reviewing your tape at times? The TC could be corrupted and not going back to the original spot on the tape thus a few frames off.
If you are doing so, experiment with some backyard "footage" and try the below. Do not review your tape.


CANON CAMERA: Use swap frame

CUT RECOGNITION>TIME

PLAY-TIMCODE>ORIGINAL

HDV FIELD ORDER>SWAPPED

Thanks, Lou, but I never stop the recording process to review tape. I've tried your suggested test and things got worse - I'll explain that in a minute. First, I have 2 questions:

1) SYSTEM SETTINGS > HDV FIELD ORDER
Isn't it true that this command has no effect on a project for which you've already downconverted at the camera?

2) SYSTEM SETTINGS > PLAY-TIMECODE:
Doesn't this only affect playback? In other words, can't you theoretically switch back and forth between CASABLANCA and ORIGINAL-DV without affecting what has already been recorded?

Anyway, I think my gremlin is in the OS. The one-hour scene I already recorded days ago will not even auto-split at all now, even after putting SYSTEM SETTINGS back where they were before AND after a re-boot. I get the "No cut infos found" message. I guess I'll call Boulder, Colorado in the morning and ask for a new SE 7.x disc for a re-install.

SYSTEM SETTINGS > HDV FIELD ORDER....My error. I was thinking of a HDV project and picking at straws at the same time. Sounds like a full install will do the trick. You can download a new OS on the MSUS site.
