HDV direct to disc problem in FCP
I have got a problem with hdv direct to disc recording in fcp 5.0. When I use the "Log and capture" function, and choose "capture now" fcp captures only 12 frames. And then it stops. I have successfully captured several hours of dtd material on a previous occasion with the same camera and laptop. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
BTW: Normal capturing from tape is working fine. I am new to fcp, so please, if any of you more experienced guys can help me out? I am using a Sony HDR-HC1E camera and an Apple G4 Powerbook 1,5GHz 1,25 GB RAM. |
Espen,
My one partner and I had the exact same problem with the same laptop. Our solution was to shoot on tape while simultaneously doing the d2d capture. FCP then captured what we recorded. |
Interesting that you mention this. We were doing a shoot with a Z1 capturing direct to disk on a MacBook Pro last month. For the first hour of the shoot everything worked fine. Then for no apparent reason we had the exact same problem you experienced. FCP captured a few frames and then just stopped. After screwing around a little we gave up and just rolled tape.
(note: I've moved this thread to the Mac Editing forum because it's really about an FCP issue. The direct to disk forum is slanted towards dedicated devices such as the Firestore) |
