Capturing live from an HVX200

[Cody Walters]

Set your recording format to 480i and Rec Mode to DV. Then match the settings in final cut. Then I would believe you can hit record on the Panasonic and do a capture now in final cut.

My recording format is 480i, 720/30P and Rec Mode is DV. I have FCP set to non-controllable device and capture settings set to DV NTSC Animorphic (fps 29.97).

Again, I can see the camera output in FCP when the camera is set to record to tape, but I still get “Preview Disabled” when in P2 mode.

[Buddy Englett] “My recording format is 480i, 720/30P and Rec Mode is DV”

This doesn’t make any sense.

[Buddy Englett]

Sorry, Recording Format is 720P/30P, 480i Record Mode says DV.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Everything should be in 480i dv25 (or dv50). If you don’t want to record in HD, then set your camera for SD.

[Buddy Englett]

How do I do that?

[Jeremy Garchow]

In the recording setup menu of the camera.

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. In the Recording Setup menu The first item is Rec Format which is set to 720/30P. The second item is 480i Record Mode. To the left of it reads “DV” in blue text, but I’m not able to change it. I see nothing that allows me to switch between HD and SD recording.
