Hey folks,
So I scoured both the internet at large and the dvinfo forums for a solution and, after trying many, many suggestions, am just as f****d as I was when I started.
I'm using:
Powerbook G4 Laptop, 1.67 GHz/1 GB SDRAM
OSX v.10.4
FCP 4.5 HD
QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 (had problems with QuickTime and FCP before, have since resolved them but figured it might be relevant)
Canon GL1 connected via FireWire, plugged in to surge protector
Here's what's happened (or NOT happened, rather):
--I started up FCP, turned the DV camera (Canon GL1) to VCR/VTR mode, tried to print... Nothing.
--Read the FCP user's manual, fiddled with Easy Setup and A/V Settings... Nothing.
--Turned on the External Video-->All Frames option. Got audio to play through but video will only show an image when stopped in the Timeline on a given spot.
I suspect I've got something wrong in the A/V Settings. I assume it's something horribly basic that, at 1:22 AM PST, I am not smart enough to grasp. Hopefully someone in Taiwain or Germany or something is awake. Anyone willing to give me a rundown of what your A/V and/or Easy Setup looks like if you're using a DV camera to output? I'm dyin' here.
Thanks!!
