FCP5 list of qualified devices
Finaly Apple put a list of qualified devices to the site but it is very interesting as at the moment there is only a list of cammeras. And then again within this list there is some interesting stuff.
Within list of HDV cammeras there are Sony HVR-FX1 and HVR FX1E, but no Z1 at all.
Does anyone knows what is going on with this cammera?
We bought Z1 fairly recently and are shooting with it on daily basis. Also we already made an order for whole FCP studio and now (according to Apple) Z1 will not work with FCP5.
Best regards,

Just because it’s not listed doesn’t mean it won’t work. It means it hasn’t been tested most likely.

There are MANY camcorders not listed.
But I have NEVER found any FW remote-controlled device that would NOT work with FCP (and that includes the absolute cheapest low-end home video camcorders.)
Every one I’ve ever connected immediately “woke-up” and ran just fine via FCP FW control.I always say, why would a company RE-WRITE a software protocol for only a SINGLE camcorder when it would be simpler, cheaper, and more reliable to just use the same standard, proven software and controller chips in ALL of their devices (which apparently they DO.)

Hey there,
Is Final cut pro 4.5 able to capture DV SP footage from a Sony HVR-Z1E/Z1P camera?
Having trouble making it see the camera?
Cheers
