  Importing Hi8 Tapes into Final Cut Pro

  Posted by Eric Meier on November 29, 2010 at 3:32 am

  Hi, I’m trying to import Hi8 tapes into Final Cut Pro 7 but for some reason once I go to the Log and Capture window and hit the Capture now button a black window pops up for a split second and then disappears. When I go to my capture scratch folder that I have set up for the project I get none other than a split second of black. Maybe there is some mistake I’m making with my Easy Setup or A/V Settings. Below are the specs. Anyone know what’s going on?

  Capture Device: Digital8 Sony Handycam connected to Macbook Pro laptop computer via firewire cable.

  Project Setup:

  Easy Setup
  Rate: 29.97 fps
  Format: all formats
  Use: Custom Setup

  Audio/Video Settings
  Sequence Preset: Uncompressed 8-bit NTSC 48kHz
  Capture Preset: DV50 NTSC 48kHz
  Device Control Preset: Non-Controllable Device
  Video Playback: Digital Cinema Desktop Preview – Main
  Audio Playback: Built-in Output

  Log and Capture Capture Settings
  Device Control: Non-Controllable Device
  Capture/Input: DV50 NTSC 48 kHz

  Thanks.

  You need to choose the DV/NTSC Easy Setup. You can’t capture DV50 from that camera…only DV/NTSC. DV50 is DVCPRO 50 and is a specific type of Panasonic deck.
