When you stop/pause on a single miniDV tape & import it, iMovie splits these automatically into "clips"......

after the tape is full of video, are you suppose to "format/erase" this tape? or do you record over it?

Will the previously recorded video interfere with how it splits up when importing to iMovie?

Thanks!

*hope that didn't sound to confusing*

As long as you don't have "gaps" where new material hasn't recorded over old material, everything new will import fine. And if you have a gap, a new segment will appear where the old video was. you just trash it.

I "black-out" my tapes before using them, but I have not really reused any yet. Blacking out gives you a continuous time-code. Once the tape is recorded

how do you effectively black out tapes?

fast method?
