JVC GY-100HD cam and FCP5
I heard of some problems with this camera and Final cut pro like you can not batch digitize directly from it because Final cut does not recognize the camera. Has some one tried this camera? I do not see any posts.

The camera works with FCP in 720p30. For that it works fine within the limitations of MPEG-2 HDV material and capturing across the broken GOP structure. You usually lose around four seconds of material at the shot change if you capture across it. FCP does not seem to recognize it as a DV device if you want to output DV material.

I had no luck recording the 720p30 back to the deck either. Have you managed this Tom? I’ve given all the gear back now, but I didn’t have the most pleasant time of it.
One thing I found hard was the “conform” on print to tape, which I had to do time and time again as I was trying to figure out how to go back to the deck – and FCP doesn’t cache this, so every time it failed, I was doing it again. Ouch.

For PAL users there is still no way to capture 720p25 footage into FCP other than using a Lumiere plug in.
Still waiting for Apple to rectify this omission.

I didn’t seem to have a problem with that, though the material wasn’t very long. The conform process is pretty tedious, but I think that’s there for all flavors of HDV. What I did was export a self-contained QT movie, which conforms and builds the file. Then laid that in a new timeline and printed from there. I do that for most thinks anyone.
All the best,
Tom
