Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy HDR-SR1 AVCHD

  • Posted by Tony Sarafoski on May 17, 2008 at 5:11 am

    I’ve just connected my Sony HDR-SR1 camera to Final Cut Pro v6.0.3 and opened Log & Transfer tool. This all worked fine and the conversion process even though slow was easy enough. Now on my HD I have a ProRes 422 MOV file which plays back fine, however when I try previewing this footage on my video monitor, the footage appears very low res. Am I doing something wrong or is there a preview setting i haven’t turned on?

    Through what? A capture card?

    I have a Sony DSR-40P Deck connected FireWire to my iMac and that’s how I do all my monitor previews.

    Would that be the problem?

    Yes as you are crudely down converting your HD material through dv in software.

    In order to properly monitor HD you need an HD capture card and an Hd monitor.
