Roll Blank Tape Before You Shoot

Before you start shooting, roll your tape for 30 seconds at the beginning of your tape with the lens cap on (or with color bars - see your camera manual for setting your camera to display color bars).

This will avoid having any crinkles at the start of the tape appearing in the video you want to shoot.
