Pass Through on an A1?

Darren Rousar · May 31st, 2006, 12:17 PM

All I need to be able to do is record SD on the cam from FCP.
My firewire cable is on its way so once it gets here I'll try it.

I really could not tell you either. I would think you could, again...I am not for sure. I just know that you cannot go from VCR to comp via this camcorder like you can with other dv camcorders. You can put your footage back to your minidv so there is probably a way to do what you are asking. You may want to go to the hdv editing forums and ask or search around. I go to the "what happens in vegas" in the hd editing group. I use Sony Vegas though...

>>I'm minutes from ordering the A1 but I need to make sure I can 'print to video,' as FCP calls it, with this cam.

Not sure why no-one answered you on this straightforward question sooner.

I can confirm that you can 'print to video' via firewire to the A1 from Premiere Pro. Unfortunately I dont use FCP .... however I *assume* it has this capability also.

Thanks Graham. Searching Apple's FCP confirmed it too (sort of).
My A1 is here but I've got too much else to do with other things at the moment to thoroughly test it out. I'll have a good go with it this weekend.

I've printed to video with Z1, FX1 and A1 footage from FCP.
