  • Capture Problem

    Posted by Joe Gorges on June 24, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    Hey, probably a stupid question with an easy answer, but when I try and capture from my Sony PD170 into FCP using capture now, I get the following error

    “Attepmt to capture video without a video device selected. Please select a video device in your capture presets and try again”

    The settings look ok to me, but nothing I have tried has helped.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Open a new project. Open Easy Settings. Select DV NTSC 48khz. Now try to capture and see if it works.

    Is your camera listed as an approved device:

    You didn’t mention which version of FCP you are using.
