capturing DV
I must have changed a setting somwhere that I’m not seeing. I’m just trying to capture Regular DV NTSC in FCP5 but when I put it on the timeline, it wants to render it as HDV. I’ve tried two different decks, so it’s not a setting there.
It also won’t play on my regular video monitor, just gives me a small still image when I pause on the timeline, but it will play back on my Mac monitor as if it were HDV, just a small image.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for any suggestions. -

P.S. I’ve tried trashing my preferences but that didn’t help.

make sure your sequence is dv, not hdv….

Easy SetUp > DV NTSC

Thanks. Actually I had already tried those suggestions, but I did just get it to work.
I opened an old project that was in DV and then captured some more video in that project and it worked.
Then I closed FCP and when I reopened it and started a new project it was fine again. It was as if the timeline was stuck on HDV, no matter how many times I changed the easy setup.
I know there is probably some logical explanation, but it seemed like going back to an old project that already had a DV timeline somehow unstuck it.
Anyway, it now seems to work okay. Thanks for the suggestions. -

Where were you changing the settings? If you we’re changing them in the Final Cut Pro>Easy Setups or Final Cut Pro>Audio/Video Settings>Sequence Presets, you were merely changing what future sequences would be. To change your current sequence, you need to go to Sequence>Settings, or Command+0 (zero).

Thanks, Debe
You’re right. I was changing the settings in Final Cut Pro>Easy Setup.
I’m going to print out your response and tape it next to my monitor so I don’t go through this again.
Thanks for clearing this up.
