Capturing from Ch 3 + 4
Hello,
I have a DVCam tape and the audio I need to capture is on Ch 3 +4 , I have it switched on my deck to play those tracks and I hear the audio, no problem. But when I capture, FCP captures from Ch 1+2. WRONG AUDIO! Anyone ever deal with this issue and know how to fix it?
Thank you!

Did you check a3+4 in the capture settings tab in the log and capture window?
Are you capturing using videointerface or via firewire?

FCP must be set to access Ch. 3 & 4.
Here’s how (it is the same for PAL, but you will of course use the PAL settings):Final Cut Pro (menu pull-down) >
Audio/Video Settings >
Capture Presets >
Click the “Duplicate…” button >
a new “Capture Preset Editor” window will open >
Change the “Name:” field to DV NTSC 48 kHz CH 3&4 (so you’ll be able to tell it apart from the “normal” setting.)
Under QuickTime Audio Settings >
Input: Second 2 Channels >
Click “OK”Now, try a capture. If the audio is on CH 3&4, you’ll get it into FCP.
Remember to put your “normal” settings back (to “First 2 Channels”) after you captured CH 3&4 tracks.

What is your system? Some i/o’s only pull in channel 3+4 if there is audio on 1+2. You may have to switch your leads to your input device to input them on ch 1+2.
