E to E viewing while jogging
have FCP 4.5 on g5 1.8 dual..64 video card…I am capturing footage from a Panny dvc80…it captures very well into FCP, however I can not see video while moving fast fwd or rev, only when in play…is this a result of the camcorder or the video card? will getting a more powerful card ( Raydon 9800?) do the trick? or will this correct itself if I use a deck like a DSR 40? tx for your advice.

Not familiar with the Pannasonic deck, but some decks have a setting in their menus to have ff scan (or not) might look into that (got a manual for it?)

DV does not SCAN in FF or REW in a camcorder (or even most decks).
It will “Search” but that requires the tape to move at a much lower speed than FF or REW.
During the FF* mode (no picture seen), hold down the FF* key.
The tape transport should slow down and a rapidly moving image will display.
Release the button and the image will drop out, and the tape will return to its higher FF* speed.(* or REW)

[Jerry Hofmann] “My DSR-11 scans 10 times speed real nice.”
That’s the “much lower speed” I’m talking about.
Full FF and REW in DV won’t show an image (same is true with most BetaSP decks)
Some decks have a menu setting for limiting the FF and REW to a speed that WILL allow the high-speed search.
Most camcorders and many decks simply hop up to “full speed” in FF & REW until you HOLD the FF or REW button down, then the tape drops down to a speed that allows viewing.
It may likely be 10x speed… which is NOT very fast (it would take 6 full minutes to rewind/search a 60 minute DV tape).
