I have finished productions on tape that I need to capture into FCPX, and the stupid auto-scene detection breaks up edits and dissolves all over the place into little clips I don't need AND it misses 1-3 frames every time! I can't find any solutions to this. Quicktime crashed when I asked it to capture from my DV deck. Is there no way to capture without scene detection on? The timecode is perfect, it's not resetting.
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
I’ve used tape cleaners, which is all I can do, but don’t think that’s it. Every edit point resulting in a new captured clip is consistently missing 1-3 frames. Same issue using iMovie (capture process looks identical to fcp). This is a software issue. Looking for capture alternative now. Quicktime captured it continuously bit it transcodes to h264 which I don’t want. Gonna try Premier next. Any other ideas appreciated.
As Tom suggests:
QuickTime can Capture ProRes422 when you select the Maximum Quality option in the video section.

What are the specifics of "the taped" clips?
Al
dvcam, captured from a sony dsr-11 via firewire to thunderbolt adapters
Should work.
I would suggest a tape path clean.
Sound like timecode issues.

You can also capture in QuickTime using ProRes.
Great, thank you both.
FCPX scene detection on tape capture misses frames
