  HDV-M25U and FCP

  Posted by Terry Ballard on April 13, 2010 at 9:23 pm

  Can anyone help… I’m using FCP and SONY’s HDV-M25u HDV deck. The deck is connect via firewire I have a plasma that I want to see my finished project on. I want to play my timeline, pass through the deck via HDMI and see in on the plasma. What are the deck settings/project setting?

  Any and all info is appreciated.

  There are none. The only way to play HDV out is with a capture card.

  Set you Video Playback to “Apple Firewire” (PAL or NTSC as appropriate) and this will send your HDV timeline to your M25 deck as a letterboxed SD DV signal (via a realtime software downconvert courtesy of FCP’s RT Extreme playback engine) … you should be able to watch that on your plasma via the deck, but it’ll be pretty crap I’m afraid.

  Best
