    Hi everybody
    I have a problem in capture and recapture
    everytime i want to capture somthing I set the in and out and batch clip, the player rewind band the tape starts playing but the capture window gets stuck and then FCP stops to respond!!
    i try capturing without in and out … but its the same

    then i have to restart the FCP, and sometimes i restart the computer

    What kind of camcorder or deck are you using?

    The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.
