  • Is it possible to use my Canon XHA1 as a deck to Print video using Final Cut Pro?

    Posted by Lorenzo Escalante on December 17, 2011 at 4:07 am

    I am trying to make duplicate tapes using footage that has already been captured and digitized using my Canon Xh A1 as a deck. I have looked up several tutorials and have found nothing. Now, I am wondering if my efforts are futile and if what I am trying to accomplish is even possible…

    I am running on a 27″ Imac, 2.8 ghz Intel core i7, with 8 GB of memory….os, 10.6.8

    You have to PRINT TO VIDEO…let FCP conform the sequence and then it will play it out. But the timecode of the output will not match the original tapes.

    Hey! thanks for the response….I semi figured it out….But it seems that only the HDV1080i60 sequence works to print to video…is there any reason for that?

    There used to be an import tax in Europe for cams that have FW input enabled, as they were concidered a deck rather than a camera.
    So in order for the manufacturers to be cheaper, the input was disabled (in software) for the european market.
    There are hacks available to enabe it if this is the case.

    Because that is what the camera records. What are you trying to send to the camera? 1080p 24? The camera records that in a 1080i60 stream.
