  • Basic Fp question about capturing

    Posted by Toby Levins on October 27, 2007 at 10:16 am

    Hi guys, I am a faily new FCP user and am trying to capture my video from a VX2000. For some reason in the capture window there is no media. The video plays fine on the cam, but the capture window on my computer is greyed out. I have just loaded leopard, but I can’t imagine it would be creating this issue. Any help would be muchly appreciated. thanks 🙂

    Trash your preferences. Connect the camera. Launch the application. Does it see the camera?

    Dumb question, but where are my preferences located ?
    I think it must be leopard, because even imovie can’t see the camera most of the time. I say most, because every so often it sees it. Wierd. Using FCP on my imac with tiger works fine.

    Did you reinstall QuickTime? Did you upgrade to Leopard? I’ll only guessing because I know nothing about your computer and you’re not telling us.

    All the best,

    Tom
