12 channel DV?
i’m capturing from my 2-channel Beta deck using the DV codec, but it defaults to wanting to capture 12 audio channels, and i can’t seem to be able to find where to alter this preset to make it only grab 2 channels. i know the workaround to unlink all captured clips and then delete the bottom 10 tracks, then relink them, but i’m guessing there must be an easier way during capture? : )

When in log & Capture mode, go to the “Clip Settings” tab. You’ll see a pull down menu for “input channels”. That should be on 2ch not 12!.
Once you’ve corrected this, you can save this setting so that you never have to fix it again.Mark

in log and capture, my audio input selector is ghosted (with a lovely little “12” in der box), so i can’t change it…

the other workaround i found is that when i am about to drag one of these 12-channel clips into the timeline, i just make sure that only 2-channels are “patched” on the left side of the timeline. it works for now, but would like to know how to drop these 10 channels in the capture process in the future. let me know if you have any guesses why my option is ghosted. thanks again for your input.

Are you using an easy setup? A custom setup? if so go into the audio/video settings and change it. Also, if 12 channels are ghosted in FCP 5 clip settings, then mute all the channels except the first two.
You have a weird setting somewheres

Once you have logged the clip. Control Click on the clip in the bin and go down to clip settings. You can then adjust the tracks you want, and adjust whether you want stereo or mono.
