RE: [Avid-L2] Re: OT Capture tapes with discontinuous timecode

 

They are multicam recordings so we were trying to keep them in sync.. as there are no other sync markers so without source timecode we are stuck.

 

I suspect it's just not possible

Why bother?
Most  file  wrappers  only hold a start timecode value so if you did capture discontinuous TC at the first TC jump ot would be wrong with the fike timecode.
You'll never go back to the tapes  so just make fresh TC for the files.
The Avid capture across timecode breaks is misleading as it doesn't  it just stops and restarts tge capture after the break resulting in seperate clips  and files. And it does that because capturing across a TC break would give a single clip that couldn't be conformed back to tape.
