Capture problems with Mac

[Rattana]

I am so sorry.I thought you had FINAL CUT PRO.

[Kevin C.]

No problem. Ok Tom is right. Today, I tried non hub, different cable, etc and setting capture folder to privacy solved this long mystery novel. How does Apple make upgrades that allow such to happen? And how did anyone decipher this? Who would make the connection. Bless Tom, no one esle on any other boards had that info.

Still Tom, if you are out there, curious on previous quesiton on uncontrollable device ie convert — (actually I don’t understand difference between setting that – and just doing capture now, which is a manual method also)

[Tom Wolsky]

Non-controllable device is FCE is called DV Converter. It’s designed for use with a converter box and assumes no timecode is coming from the device. You have timecode. You want that timecode on the QuickTime file. If you tell the application what your media is the timecode will be delivered from the data stream and put into the QT file on your hard drive.

All the best,

Tom

I had the same problem and very frustrating. I read somewhere to disable “spotlight” for the folder containing FCP. Immediate fix. Go into system preferences – spotlight – privacy. Add the FCP folder to the list. Fixed.
