Cannot print to video/edit to tape FCP
I am appealing to ANYONE who can help me with this problem. I am running FCP 7 and am using a Sony M15AU deck directly connected via firewire. I have no problem at all connecting to the deck and capturing anything I need to, but I cannot print back to tape in HDV. I was able to print to tape somehow in 16X9 SD…which doesn’t interest me in the least. I’ve had this same issue with FCP 5 & 6, and now the latest version 7.
As I’m typing this I’m connected to the deck, and am capturing perfectly…so I know it’s connected and recognizes the deck. However I have tried a number of setting changes which have been offered to ensure this would work. Here’s what I know thus far.
1. I’ve been told to set “external video” to ‘all frames’. It will not stay set to ‘all frames’ and keeps defaulting back to off. I’ve tried refreshing the device to ensure it’s connected, which it is by virtue of being able to capture. It also appears under ‘firewire’ in the hardware list when I opened it.
2. Under view > video playback it only gives me the options of NONE or Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Main. It has about 9 HDV options which are all grayed out.
I could really use some help. I think I can safely assume it’s not a connection issue, as I can capture…I’m hoping there’s a setting I haven’t discovered yet which isn’t set correctly. Much obliged for any help you can offer.
