  firewire capture with 4.5

  Posted by Gregg on June 22, 2005 at 4:56 pm

  Can I capture HDV from a JVC camcorder via firewire on FCP 4.5 and OS 10.3.8?
  If not, what is the best way to get to OS 10.4.1/FCP 5?
  Re-format and start from scratch?

  That’s about it. And yes, you’ll need 5. Version 4.5 can’t do HDV. There are plug-ins you can buy, but at this point it’s probably just best to move on to the next version of Final Cut.

  And yes, formatting your hard drive and installing everything fresh is a great way to avoid problems. Remember to repair permissions and check for system updates as you go through it all.
