I'm capturing lots of footage for FCP and wish to edit without rendering to see basic edits. Anyone have any ideas?

So far I have captured with HDVxDV then I opened in Streamclip to fix TC breaks, output to .m2t then converted to AIC. Now when i take it into FCP it wants to orange render so the playback is 10fps or so.

This is crazy. Any ideas?

Adam,

You sequence settings don't exactly match your AIC source settings. Most likely the frame rate is the issue. It should be set to 24 or 23.98.

Another culprit could be "pixel aspect," it should be set to square.

Tim, do you have capture problems across TC Breaks? How to you go about getting in sync video captured? It's fine in m2t but when i convert to AIC all hell breaks loose.

I never capture over TC breaks, so I generally don't have sync issues. It just doesn't work in MPEG TS because the GOP is broken, and this confuses LumiereHD or HDVxDV.

When this 24P update is finally released for FCP, I hope it has an automatic scene detect function so that you can just capture the whole tape and have it automatically split into scenes for every TC break. It already works this way for 720P30.

I have experienced approx 2 seconds of lost footage w/ each subclip when capturing in HDV 720/30 mode.

Using the AIC codec solved this problem.
