Capture HDV from a SONY HVR-Z1U using Final Cut Pro 5
I am trying to Capture HDV from a SONY HVR-Z1U, using Final Cut Pro 5 on an Intel base MacBookPro.
When I log and capture clips i am told the capture was successful. When i go to the browser window however, the clips are still “off line”.
In the capture scratch folder there are two quick time files (i.e. ‘untitled’ & ‘untitled-1’) but they can not be played. When opened a pop up says “The movie could not be opened – the file is not a movie file.” This happens when opened in QT and in FCP.
A/V Controls:
Sequence Preset: HDV 1080i60
Capture Preset: HDV
Device Control Preset: Sony HDV Fire wire.I have used both the HDV “easy setups” and tried custom variations. Capturing with the “HDV – Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60” Works, but I can not use the log and capture window.
I have had no luck with trashing my FCP preferences and deleting QT receipts.
I know its Friday night but, if any one could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
_rich

This may not help, but you might try changing the device control to Firewire basic.
