  GL1 troubles

  Posted by Amanda Queen on March 21, 2007 at 1:55 am

  I’ve been having some trouble with my Canon GL1. I can’t seem to get it to communicate with FCP HD 4.5.
  I used another camera as a deck and everything worked fine, so this seems to rule out the possiblities of problems with FCP and the firewire. The camera does show the “DV In” message when it is plugged in, but there is still no communication. I captured video from it with all the same equipment only a few weeks before. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

  Yeah, I’ve tried it with basic and without. I’ve read a lot about potential problems with FCP, are there any problems that could have developed just with the camera? Seems that Canon is notorious for problems with timecode and bad communication with FCP.

  Could this be something that could be repaired by a shop?
