Subject: FCP5 Timeline MonitorI just set up FCP5 with my Z1 HDV camera as a deck. My problem is that I can see the video when
digitizing, but not on playback. I have external video clips set to all frames, but can not see
playback on my video monitor.what am I doing wrong?

Subject: Re: FCP5 Timeline MonitorHow is your external monitor hooked up to FCP? Through the camera?
If so, first ensure that your Audio Video Settings are set to send out audio and video via Firewire. Also ensure that your output settings are correct. That is, if you’re editing HDV, make sure you’re sending an HDV signal back out to the camera. If you’re sending the wrong signal back out to the camera, it most likely would not show an image.
Lastly, ensure that your camera is set up correctly to pass the video through to the monitor.

I am sending it back through the camera and can see it on the monitor
when I”m digitizing, but not on timeline playback…the playback options
for the HDV 1080i are greyed out and only the desktop preview is viewable…Aughhh…..HELP!!!!

Get your cameral manual out and find out how to record or view EE signals through the firewire. You saw them on playback because they were coming off the tape on your camera. You may have analog inputs on the camera as well as fw inputs. See if there’s an input setting.

AFAIK, you simply cannot monitor HDV through FireWire to a SD monitor. That’s a 1080i frame that needs to be downconverted to SD frame size in order for it to display on the SD monitor. You need a Kona 2 or a large Io box to downconvert the signal. It’s odd that you can see signal when capturing, that’s for sure.
