  • HELP, Need to capture HDV-SD60P from JVC camera

    Posted by Mickie Shaw on November 9, 2007 at 6:42 pm

    Hello,

    This is a clarification to my previous post. The JVC GYHD100 has a rec. setting labled “HDV-SD60p”. According to the manuel it is recording “HDV format, shoots using a 480/60p signal.” I have a couple of tapes that are shot in this format and need to be edited

    My only question is does anyone know if FCP will edit this format? If not is there a work around?

    Thanks in advance!

    I briefly had a project that was shot in this format – I was able to edit it on Final Cut 5.1.4 but the only thing was at the time I could not capture it directly in Final Cut. I had to use a piece of software you can download from Apple called DVHSCap to be able to capture the HDV stream… and from there I was able to preserve the slow motion..

    Now, I’m not sure if FCP 6 has fixed this capture problem – but I definitely know that you can consider DVHSCap a workaround that works. Google DVHSCap and you should be able to find the proper download package from Apple. It’s free.

    THank you, Thank you, Thank you!

    You are the first person that understands my problem. I have looked up the info you suggested and am going to try your work around. Thanks to you I also found some great info related to this problem at: https://karenoch.biblicalbear.com/?page_id=44 . She explains in detail how to download, install, and use the software you suggested. The software is only through Apple’s developer group and you have to be a member.

    May the video gods smile on all your projects!

    Thanks!
