Cant capture with FCP version 6.0
and here come the questions as a total newb to this camera....
I've been looking on the internet for a solution to this problem for some time now. One guy on another board had the same problem but didn't share the entire way to fix the problem after figuring it out. I know it has to be something simple.... I hope! ""Failure to initialize deck"" is the message I get. So basically as other people had experienced, FC isn't recognizing my camera. I bought the camera brand new from B&H 2 days ago, so it's firmware should be up to date. When I go into easy set up... I selected HD, 23.98, and 720/24P Where am I going wrong? Steve |
You've chosen HDV - 720p24 in Easy Setup so that will assign HDV 720p24 as your default sequence setting and HDV as your default Log & Capture preset.
PLEASE make sure the camera and computer are both turned off when you connect the firewire cable and switch the HDV/DV switch to HDV. See this thread for details on what can happen if you don't. Turn on the camera and computer and then switch the camera to "VTR" mode (by way of the CAM/VTR toggle button.) Now when you boot up FCP6 or FCP7 (or v5.1.4) you should be able to select Log & Capture (command + 8) and control the tape, log, batch capture, or capture now. If you have problems capturing using the HDV log & capture (the clips are splitting into smaller clips when they shouldn't be) then switch your Capture Preset to "HDV-Apple ProRes422." Letting FCP transcode into ProRes422 seems to yield more reliable results. |

taking a second look at it. Under the audio video setting I only have the prores422 option under sequence render. I dont have it as an option under my capture window.

My clip is breaking into subclips...
ok. it's also not create a new clip on start and stop under the clip settings menu still open to ideas... |

I have a video on my blog covering the complete procedure to capture via firewire as ProRes. You'll need to adjust frame rate to suit 24p as I'm in PAL land and therefore 25p.

still having problems during import with FCP
I can import footage but the damn timecode keeps making new clips. Which wouldn't be a problem but it's cutting footage out. I've gone into the settings and turn "create new clip on timecode break" to off.
This is a huge pain.... steve |
and you are using HDV-ProRes Capture mode?
Just out of curiosity did you shoot with JVC ProHD tape stock or Panasonic MQ? |

I've tried everything to just import it as one single file. My sequence setting is pro res 422 I dont have ProRes422 as an option for capture setting. Just HDV and some other stuff... It might be my version of Final Cut. 6.0 Steve |
