I recently acquired a Canon XHA1s and I'm loving it so far. They only problem I've encountered has been with capturing the footage to FCP.
I can't get the Log an Capture window to show up with this setup. When I choose Log and Capture it asks me to name the clip and then it basically goes into Capture Now mode.
I prefer to log all of my footage first, choose the clips that I want to capture, and then Batch Capture. The method that I've had to use so far with this setup is very cumbersome and with the large file sizes I'm working with, very heavy on the hard drive side of things.
I did a little searching here but the only advice I found so far was "create an Easy Setup" and I've already done that.
Here are the settings for my Easy Setup:
- Sequence Preset: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1440x1080 30p 48 kHz
- Capture Preset: HDV-Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
- Device Control Preset: HDV Firewire
I'm using FCS 2, by the way.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
