  • Another Question about Importing footage from Canon VIXIA HV40?

    Posted by Patricia Snyder on May 26, 2010 at 3:52 am

    I followed Steve Tanguy’s advice about importing HDV footage and it worked like a charm. However, I need to import SD footage and once again FCP isn’t recognizing the device. What are my settings for SD?
    Thanks!

    Could be many things: start from scratch:

    Shut down Computer, connect your DV Device – start up again – after you opened press “Check A/V Devices” in FCP.
    Open the Log & Capture window (Command “8”) -> in there make sure that under the Capture Settings Tab -> you are set to FireWire PAL (if you are in PAL land).

    Does it recognize your device then?
