  FCP Error with HV30

  Posted by Dan Graziano on November 8, 2008 at 6:09 pm

  I am using a Canon HV30 and I was suppose to shoot in HDV, however I did it in DV. I am currently sitting in my schools editing lab attempting to get the shots of the tape, however I am getting this error

  Unable to Initialize Capture Device
  Device is not connected or the capture preset is not setup correctly. You may still log offline clips.

  This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.

  my audio/video setting were set by my professor and or currently
  Sequence Present – HDV-1080i60
  Capture Preset – HDV
  Device Control Preset – HDV Firewire Basic

  I have tried everything however I am new to FCP, but not new to editing. Please help ASAP

  Try capturing as a standard DV device, right now it is looking for a hdv signal that does not exist

  Use the DV NTSC easy setup – since your footage is DV
