  Capturing Problem (deck control but no image)

  Posted by Chariot on January 17, 2007 at 7:34 pm

  Hi Guys,

  I am on FCP 4.5, MDD G4, 24P 2:3:3:2 Anamorphic. Here is the problem…

  I have deck control in log and and capture but no preview image. I am using my cam’s viewfinder to preview the clips at the moment.

  I tried Cap Now but once I am finished there is no file in my browser. Batch capture seemed like the next option and it begins at the proper time code but just keeps going and going past the end media tc.

  There has luckily never been an issue with my setup although I have recently installed motion and this is the first time using FCP since the installation.

  Any help here would be incredible!!!

  Thanks in advance!

  First you should look if is a problem of the camara. This you can check it fast if you got I-movie. If you get the movie in I-movie, then your camara is OK and your Firewire cable too.
  If you don’t get the picture in the FC capture window sounds like a Firewire issue. Check in the Audio/video settings. In Device Control set it to FireWire or FireWire basic.
  If doesn’t work go to the Capture Preset and do a duplicate of the preset you are using so the new preset will recognice your camara.
  You must have your camera open before to open FC oderwise FC may not recognice the external device even if you try the “refresh A/V device”.
