capturing problem
hey,
i’m trying to capture dvcpro footage(not hd) with a 1200a deck. when i use the dv-ntsc easy set-up it won’t capture but when i use the offlineRT setting everything works fine. i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the best way to capture at the highest resolution.
thanks,

If it doesn’t Capture, what DOES it do?
Blank image, flicker, stall?
Have you restarted the Mac, TRASHED your FCP Preferences and repaired Disk permissions?

Have you tried DV-50 easy setup which happens to be DVCPro???

matte,
thanks for the response. during capture, fcp freezes on the first frame of the video and then a box titled ‘Insert Reel’ comes on the screen and says, ‘the reel #-00:00:00:00 – 0 clips – DONE’ and at the bottom of this window it says, ‘Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. To capture as much of your footage as possible, please log and capture a clip that ends before this segment, and another one that starts right after it.’
i don’t think there is a problem with the tape because fcp will capture it in the offlineRT easy set-up.
i did trash preferences/rebuild permissions/shutdown-restart the computer.
again, the footage is dvcpro(not hd) shot with an SDX900 and i’m trying to capture with the panasonic 1200a.
any other help would be appreciated.

thanks,
though i couldn’t find a dv-50 easy set-up, using dv-50 in log and capture-capture settings-capture/input pulldown menu did the trick.

Mark,
Next time check the little box that says “show all”… Thats where Apple has chosen to hide the strangely named DV-50 easy setup.
Did you happen to notice that Apple named the PAL setup DVCPro50, while while the NTSC version is oddly named DV-50??? Odd that they wouldn’t just go ahead and change that in an update sometime, cuz you know they must know about it by now.
