I just installed the latest FCE4 onto my imac but I can't get it to recognise my camera(Canon XH-A1) I've changed all the settings but nothing appears to work....
Nothing is going right with this new mac!

You'll get better answers here:

but you'll have to clarify your problem - settings, mac setup, etc.

some external firewire drives while attached will cause canon hdv cams to have trouble connecting....

I've just found out that it will capture SD? So it's not an 'unsupported camera'? World of the strange.......

If you searched for "xh-a1" in the above mentioned Apple FCE Support Forum, you'd find that FCE works fine w/ the XH-A1....

I don't understand why you are telling me it'll work when there are quite obviously countless people in the same position as me? Where in that forum does it give a solution to so many A1/FCE owners problems?

IT WILL NOT WORK!!!

Tsu Terao,I'd first of all like to apologise for taking my frustration out on you......sorry.

Secondly, you are obviously a more patient and observational man than me because after hours of trawling the link you sent me all I could see was 'can't can't can't' when in fact there was plenty of 'can can can'.

I am now importing full HD and for that I thank you,if you didn't live so far away I'd buy you a beer,cheers. :0)
