  • Digitize HVX200 Directly into FinalCutPro

    Posted by Greg Jones on May 4, 2006 at 7:42 pm

    I just did a test today where I had an HVX200 Panasonic Camera shooting 720p firewired directly into Final Cut Pro. I can digitize directly in if I turn off machine control. If I turn on machine Control I get an error that the VTR is not responding. I would like to be able to set the timecode coming into Final Cut Pro for my clips so that each clip has unique timecode. Any tips?

    To capture directly, you can only use non controllable device.

    Greg,
    I have been unsucessul at directly capturing from the hvx200 directly into final cut pro
    using XRAID as my hard drive.
    I was able to capture about 3 seconds using DVCpro 50 setting but not 720.
    I get error messaging that there is something wrong with the tape.
    May I ask how you did it? I can not find anything useful in the manual.
    -Chuck
