  • FCP v5.0.4 and HDV playback.

    Posted by Harry on December 29, 2005 at 9:32 pm

    I have managed to capture some material from my new XL H1 into FCP v5.0.4 using the HDV Apple Intermediate codec, sequence preset 1080i60. FCP controlled the camera just fine and I saw the image play on the computer monitor during capture.

    So far so good.

    But for some strange reason FCP greys out the availability of a Timeline in the window menu, so I can’t create a sequence.

    Any bright ideas out there?

    Many thanks from an idiot

    Harry.

    Click once in the Browser and hit “Apple + N”. That creates a new timeline.

    Hmmm. Yes. I get a new Sequence, but then when I double click that sequence icon I get a message which says “codec not founf. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card.”

    Any further thoughts?

    Thanks a millions,

    Harry

    The only time I have seen that message is…well, look at my stock answer:

    #14 Codec not Found

    Shane’s Stock Answer #14:

    If you get a CODEC NOT FOUND missing hardware check ALL your images in Photoshop and make sure there are in a RGB color space NOT CYMK, LAB, OR GREYSCALE
