A few months ago I posted a problem with recapturing. When I recaptured my media, there was a slight timecode shift that effected every clip. After reading your responses, I came to the conclusion that it was because I was capturing from the begining of the tape and there could be some kind of timecode break at the very begining of the tape (aside from my own business, I edit weddings for a prod company, and their shooters do not put bars in the begining of the tape). Anyway, since my problem a few moths ago I never had the need to recapture anything until now. I started my capture on these tapes at about 4-5 seconds into the tape so there would be no timecode break in the begining, and I let the tapes capture all the way to the end. I recaptured one of the tapes and replaced the old version with the new recaptured tape, and there is the timecode shift again. The tape was not captured at the same in point as the original tape (I started capturing at about 4 seconds instead of 5). In my edit details window, the timecode for a clip on my timeline shows that it starts a 00:13:23:07. When I replace it with the new captured media, the timecode shows that it starts at 00:13:24:07. Why is this?? The only way that recapturing would work is if vegas used the correct timecode but it doesnt! This has been happening to me since version 4 and it happens on different computers. It seems as if vegas needs to recapture the tape from the exact same point as it did with the original tape but this doesnt make sense to me. It should go by the timecode, not the in and out point. For example if I put an hour long tape in to my computer and only used the last 5 minutes of the tape, I should be able to caputre just those 5 minutes and replace the hour long video (in my media pool) with the 5 minute video I recaptured and the edits on my timeline should be exactly the same. But this is not working for me. Is anyone else experiencing my problem. Please help.
