Deck problem?
I work at a small post-production company in the UK and am having a bit of a crisis! Our AVDI editor is on holiday and we have recieved some tapes we need to capture urgently! The problem is, I’m having real trouble understanding how to capture on AVID Adrenaline. I have opened a new project and called up the Capture window and checked the settings according to the manual, but when I try to play anything off the tape I can’t see it anywhere (not on the connected monitor or the computer screens). The connections to the monitor are OK, because it works out of After Effects and the AVID loading screen comes up on it. Also if I try to capture ‘on the fly’ the tape plays for about 5 seconds, then I get an error saying that ‘the input from the deck has unexpectedly stopped’. We have a ‘Sony DSR-11’ DVCAM deck (the tapes are DVCAM), connected through the composite at the back of the AVID Adrenaline (we apparently don’t have the cables to do it any other way). The deck comes up as ‘Generic DV Deck’ in the capture window in Avid. The version of the AVID software should be up-to-date as our editor is very good at that.
Please help!
