  Help with Capturing PLEASE

  Posted by Meoliver on November 9, 2007 at 12:10 am

  I have been using Final Cut Pro for a couple years and have never had this problem before but now im stumped. When I plug my firewire from the computer into my camera and try to capture it tells me: “Attempt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again”. So I got into Audio/video settings-then under capture presets and i do have DV NTSC 48 KHz selected. Which i think is what i have always used.

  I have used two different firewires with the same result, i can capture into imovie just fine so its not the camera. Also when trying to capture on the bottom of the capture window it says VTR OK which usually means i wont have a problem…i thought…..please help!!!

  I was having strange problems with my FCP and corrected the problems by deleting my prefference in FCP. Some times they become corrupted. FCP will defautl back to original prefs.

  There’s a very helpful link you may not have noticed in Shane’s post; otherwise, just do a search here for trashing preferences.

  Good luck.
