I'm editing an HDV project and had to use Final Cut Express b/c Final Cut Pro wouldnt recognize the Sony hdr fx1. Logged the footage but the playback is dropping frames, freezing and skipping.
I tried both firewire 400 and usb 2.0 - Does the speed of the drive matter with HDV? I thought it used roughly the same MB/s (around 24) as DV.
OR is my G4 powerbook, 1Ghz, 1GB RAM is too slow?
Has anyone else been able to edit HDV with that equipment? Or do you recommend I find a G5 somewhere?
Confused... alone... scared... :(
thx.
