There's three places you have to look at.
Final Cut- set the canvas and viewer to fit to window or smaller. make sure they aren't over 100% zoom. make sure final cut is sending video out to firewire... it's in the preferences somewhere. 2- Your deck/camera- needs to be able to convert DV-->A/V out. Nearly all equipment does this. It needs to be set to convert DV-->A/V out, not the other way around. This is a menu setting while the equipment is in VCR mode. 3- Attach the yellow RCA jack from your camcorder's A/V cable to the back of the monitor. You may need a RCA-BNC adapter for most broadcast monitors. Or use S-video (may be called Y/C on the monitor). |

What version of FCP are you running, if you're running ver 5 you need to go to the view menu and set external video to all frames

by the way i was told that decks such as camcorders were not totally reliable and therefore calibrating with FCP is necessary. how do i calibrate with FCP?

i finally got a right deck but the calibrating part is giving a real hard time. i followed the insctuctions from the FCP manual but it doesn't add up, any trick for that?

Hmm, is it different? FCP should be able to give you PAL color bars (under effects > video generators) and I always assumed the procedure to calibrate would be the same. I also found this which implies as much, but honestly I just don't know...
