  • Log & Capture “name” field is grayed out?

    Posted by Tom Matthies on July 14, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    Logging & capturing today and suddenly the “Name” field in the L&C window is grayed out and I cannot enter a name to log a Clip.
    I’ve tried restarting FCP but to no avail.
    I haven’t tried trashing preferences yet since FCP Rescue isn’t working with Leopard. I can try it by the brute force method I guess.
    Suggestions?

    FCP 6.0.3 running on a MacPro Octo 2.7

    Whatever you put in the DESCRIPTION Field goes into the NAME field. that is always greyed out, unless you hit LOG, then a new window with that option not greyed becomes available.

    Yea, It’s been a long day here. I’m used to hitting the Log button on my shuttle Pro and entering the name that way. I didn’t have the Shuttle Pro hooked up on this machine and just went stupid for a moment when it came time to Log the clips.
    Time to quit for the day and take a break.
    Thanks,
    Tom
