No audio on preview/log and capture? (FCP & Powerbook)
 

Hi all - I'm an AvidXpress man in the main, but trying to get to grips with FCP. But I have a problem in that there's no audio in the preview screen of log and capture..

When I'm viewing my rushes in FCP through my deck, but before capture, I can't hear anything, although the audio meters are registering sound. If I capture a clip and then watch it on the timeline, I can hear the audio fine.

There must be a way of listening to (as well as seeing) your material before you decide what you what to ingest... I'm assuming I haven't got it set up right... If anyone could make a suggestion I'd be very happy to hear it!

Many thanks

Damian

Did you try this?

Go to "Log and Capture".
Click the tab "Clip Settings".
In the audio section click on the "Preview" box.

you can also plug headphones into your camera or deck while you capture
