trouble with multi-clip footage

[Tim O'Connor]

I operated one Mini-DV camera on a three camera shoot that is planned to be

edited in Final Cut Pro with the multi-clip feature. So far, these have all worked

when we've done them before with three Mini-DV cameras but this time one of the

cameras recorded to a cheapo Aiptek to its memory card so that capture time could

be reduced as that footage should be drop and drag. However the editor tells me that

the memory card footage isn't working on the timeline. I think that it's AVC? Does

anybody know what to do?

 

This was a test so the third camera also recorded to Mini-DV as a back-up but if

this can be figured out we're considering getting some of these Aipteks for each camera

for certain event coverage. The quality is just okay but for our purposes that may

be suitable and cutting down hours of capture time would definitely make it worth it.

Thanks.
