Hello people -
Need your insight / advice on this issue I have when I use the "Create Archive" function.
I'm creating archives of my Mini DV tapes.
I've noticed that some of my tapes that I've archived, there are a few clips that have the current days date and time of when I did the archive. But all the other clips seem to have the normal data of the actual date / time of when the footage was actually shot / recorded.
They aren't redundant or duplicate clips and they look fine otherwise. Just have the wrong date / time.
I thought maybe it was because:
- I recorded the footage with a Canon XL1 and am playing those tapes back in a Sony PC9.
- Using different brand tape stocks.
But there isn't any consistency to this as some tapes are fine (using the same brand) while others have this issue.
My setup is:
- Camcorder (Sony PC9) connected via Firewire ... to a Canopus ADVC110 ... to the MBP-RD 15" via the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter.
- Open FCP X and click on the icon for "Import media from a connected device".
- Media Import window opens up, I then select my camera, click the play button icon, view the footage and then press the stop icon.
- Press "Create Archive" and it rewinds the tape in camera and starts the archiving process.
- After it finishes archiving, I either manually stop it (if there is no more footage before the end of the tape) or it stops the process and the camcorder automatically.
- Then I check the archive by selecting it under Camera Archives and look at the clips.
- This is where I view the clips (in List View) and see the date / time data .... and this is where I see this.
Any ideas as to why this would be happening?
