  • 1200a and DVCPro50 not being seen by FCP

    Hi All,

    Sorry to post this here, but I’m sure a ton of people have used the 1200a in this forum. I’m cutting a DVCPRO-50 project shot on the SDX900. I have a 1200a rental to capture the material.

    It seems to capture DV tapes without much fuss. However, when I change my auto-setup in FCP to DV50, FCP gives me the old “cannot find this source” error. I’ve read the manual from cover to cover and have the camera set to 1394 input. If anyone knows of a good trick to get this to work as friendly as, say, a DSR-11, please let me know.

    I originally requested a DVCPRO50-only deck (figured I didn’t need the 1200a) but somehow this is what was rented. Guess they got a good rate – wish they had shot 720p! On that note, has anyone up-converted with this deck? How well do you think anamorphic footage shot on the SDX900 at 23.98 would look upconverted to 720p?

    Many thanks,
    Michael
