  • HD Footage in Final Cut 5.1?

    Posted by Natasha Paulson on March 26, 2009 at 6:08 pm

    I shot some HD footage with a JVC camera for my documentary class. I’ve been editing on my school’s computers which have Final Cut 6.0.4.

    My semester is almost up and I want to continue editing at home, but I have Final Cut 5.1. When I try to import the Quicktime files they won’t play at all, just a black screen. I’ve tried adjusting the settings to “HDV” and all, but it doesn’t work.

    I thought maybe I just need to try to capture it again onto my computer. Can Final Cut 5.1 work with HD footage?
