iMovie chops up clips and entirely drops others
I’ve been trying for a couple months to find a combination of cables and computers to transfer old mini DV tapes. I have a DCR-TRV38 Sony camcorder, 30 tapes, a pile of cables and a willingness to try anything. I ended up with two dongle‘s and the cable into a Mac laptop (With all the latest versions of everything updated) that works pretty well.
The problem comes when I start the import to iMovie and the first 20 seconds of the first clip gets chopped up into pieces that are mostly less than a second long. Another problem is that if there are any gaps between clips, the clip before the gap gets dropped. I’ve also tried 0BS, but that won’t capture the audio from the camera.
If anybody has any illumination, or a fix, please let me know.
