FCP Won't Batch Capture at DVinfo.net

Paul J Carey · October 29th, 2007, 09:50 AM

I've got two clips that I've logged and now I'm trying to capture. I select the two clips and then right-click and select "Batch Capture". Nothing happens. My suspicion is that it may be my crappy Iomega HD. I am in the process of phasing out that HD for a new G-Drive I just purchased but I've already captured 3 hours of footage for this project on the Iomega HD and really don't want to have footage on two drives. Any ideas on how I can get FCP to capture these clips? I've already tried restarting both FCP and the hard drive.

Thanks!

I would say you first need to be more specific when you say nothing happens. Does it go to the screen where it's a summary of what it's going to capture and then will it allow you to hit okay? Or nothing happens when you acutally select the batch capture feature? You can always try the capture now function in the log and capture window. You will loose time in that you have already gone through the footage and logged the clips, but at least you can still capture it on the same drive.

If this information does not help you, then maybe if you provide more I can give an alternative?

Best of luck!
