log & capture isn’t working
my log & capture image is coming up as static, and does not display the image that i am seeing in my monitor regardless what tape i am using. it was working okay yesterday, and i do not believe any setting(s) were changed. is there a setting i might have better luck with? etc.
Thanks. I appreciate any insight and info you are able to share

Often this comes about due to a quirky quicktime installation or a corrupted FCP preference.
If the camera captures in iMovie, you know that it is ok and computer and camera can communicate.
If that is the case, try the quicktime reinstall>
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

I’d trash your FCP preferences first before the QuickTime re-install. Do you get the “Preview Unavailable” over color bars in your capture window?

Just a thought.
Your profile doesn’t list how you are capturing video, but make sure that you aren’t trying to capture SDI video through an analog input. On many analog monitors, SDI video can look a lot like static.
Might be worth checking your capture presets.
