Visual QuickStart Guide [Electronic resources] : Final Cut Express HD for Mac OS X نسخه متنی

• The size of your Capture window is determined by the zoom level of the Canvas and Viewer windows in your workspace arrangement. If you're using a high zoom level for the Canvas and the Viewer, your Capture window will be large as well. Small Canvas and Viewer windows will result in a small Capture window. If you're using different sizes in the Viewer and Canvas windows, the Capture window appears at the size of the smaller one.

• When you open the Capture window for the first time after launching FCE, the screen reads "Preview Disabled." Don't freak out. That's standard operating procedurethe warning disappears when you click Play.

• For best performance, the Capture window should be completely visible on your computer monitor, with nothing overlapping the window, not even the cursor.

• If you have been capturing clips, FCE will not play back clips in your external monitor until you close the Capture window.

DV Timecode vs. FCE Timecode: What's the Difference?

On your original DV tape, each frame of the tape is assigned a unique number, called a timecode number . This system of timecode numbers has been the basis of video editing systems for over 30 years. In Final Cut Express, all captured clips are assigned the same starting timecode: 00:00:00:00. Each FCE clip, however, preserves the original DV tape timecode start and end numbers with the clip's media file. FCE accesses the original timecode numbers when you go back to the original DV tapes and recapture a project. If you open an FCE project in Final Cut Pro (FCE's big brother application), you'll have full access to the original DV timecode. In FCE, that DV timecode information is hidden.
