  capture settings for Sony HDR-FX1 in FCP 5.0.4

  Posted by Zac on January 10, 2006 at 1:14 pm

  I just got a new sony HDV camera (HDR-FX1). I shot some footage around the office and want to bring it into FCP to practice edits. I have only used DV in the past so what settings do i use for capture and project. There are several presets and i am not sure which to use. The footage looks pulled vertically and doesn’t look like it does on the lcd panel on camera. I am sure this is because of a setting i am not using correctly. Anyone have suggestions for me?

  Use one of the easy setups for HDV… you’ll need to match the easy setup to the format of HDV that you are shooting… otherwise it works much the same as DV does. You can read all about it from FCP’s help menu. Look in the HD and Broadcast formats help… it’s the first thing they talk about there.
