... or at least I think that's what the feature that I describe below is called.
When I first started looking into getting a HD/HDV camera last year, I rented a Sony Z1. It was a nice camera and fun to shoot with. I'm now looking at purchasing a Panasonic HVX or Canon H1.
My favorite surprise when capturing footage into Final Cut Pro 5 was that FCP detected (or the Z1 communicated, not sure which) when to stop capturing on a clip and start capturing while renaming the next clip. So if I was shooting and had started and stopped the Z1 ten times I would automatically get 10 separate clips in FCP all with sub-names based off whatever I called the first clip.
It was a HUGE time-saver and it's precision could not be matched by doing it manually (as I've always done with my GL2 and XL2).
Does this work for the JVC HD100 and Canon H1 as well? Does anyone know from experience working with these two cameras? Thank you.
