Stage 8:

Calibrating Your Timecode

You must calibrate the timecode signal of your device before editing. This is particularly
important when you are using RS-422 device control, because video and timecode
information are coming into Final Cut Pro via independent connections. For more
information, see

“Calibrating Timecode Capture with Serial Device Control.”

Stage 9:

Choosing Device Control and Edit Preview Settings

If necessary, specify device control and input (“capture”) settings in the Device Settings
tab of the Edit to Tape window. You can change both of these settings by choosing an
Easy Setup that’s appropriate for your video equipment.

To choose device settings

1

In the Edit to Tape window, click the Device Settings tab.

2

Change your device control and edit preview settings.

For more information, see

“Device Settings Tab.”
