FCP w/ XH-A1 CAPTURE AND EXPORT
Hello all. So I just got the XH-A1 a short time ago and am loving it. The only problem is when I try to import it to FCP it dosnt seem to recognize the HD footage and thus dosnt capture it so. If anyone knows what settings to use in FCP so it will get the full HD quality video I would really appreciate it. Also, what is the best way to export from FCP?

The easy set-up in FCP should work fine. Choose HDV 1080i60 or HDV 1080p24 depending on what you shot your footage in.

I go the easy setup and choose for the format HDV and then for the use menu I put in 1080i 60 and press set up and the error message says:
unable to locate the following external devices: HDV (1440x1080) 60i and the camera is on and in playback mode |

Make sure the camera is set: Playback STD to HDV and HDV Down Convert Set to Off.

It sounds more like the program isn't recognizing the camera at all which could be a firewire issue.
here is a post on getting the basic connection going that might help http://dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=93519 trish |

Make sure the camera is turned on before activating capture mode, and go to your view menu and scroll down to refresh av devices.

Thanks much to all of you. Great help.
Could anybody tell me which export settings are best to get the best quality at a reasonable file size? Thanks again. |

If you have a different specific format you need let the forum know, I'd suspect someone on here has a good recipe for it. |

There's a good article on Ken Stone about using compressor to output for YouTube.
