can you preview HDV on SD monitor?

[Michael Gissing]

What is your editing setup? If you have an I/O card that can down convert on the fly from HD to SD with composite or component video out and your monitor has compatible inputs, the answer is yes.

no I/o card. just running through firewire through a dv camcorder.

Hi,

Yes you can preview a HDV timeline through firewire device, as long as your dv camera has dv IN, final cut pro will see it as a playback device. just assign video playback to DV under view menu and it should work
