  • Canon HDV XL H1 4 channel audio capture- HELP!

    Posted by Devin Clarke on April 5, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    Hi,
    ok so of course I need help right away! I am trying to capture audio from a Canon XL H1. The first 2 audio tracks have are the board mic, the 3rd audio track has no sound and the 4th has the interview. And I can capture the first 2 audio tracks in HDV on to final cut pro 6.0.5. But cannot get the much needed 4th audio track.
    The footage is in HDV, not DV. So I can’t change the preset. And the footage was shot in 24f.

    I have a Macbook Pro and am connecting with firewire 400.
    I can listen to the 4th audio track on the camera through the head phones, so I know its there. The most common answer I’ve hear is that I can capture it in two passes, But I can’t find anywhere that can capture the second two tracks in HDV mode. I’ve tried to trick it and switch it to DV mode and then capture the second two tracks but it give me a no video error.

    The only work around I’ve seen is recording the audio out on the monitoring headphone jack. But there has to be a way to capture audio track 4. Please help!! I have about 80 hours of footage, and a Canon VIXIA HV30, if you can suggest a work flow that I can capture the 4th audio track I would be very appreciative.
    Also we would like to convert it to apple pre res 4:2:2.
    And I understand that we will need to do a 3:2 pulling out in cinema tools.

    PLEASE HELP! I needed this yesterday of course. Thanks
