Mystery of the log/capture causing FCP shutdown
Hello, hope someone has encountered this…
So I have an emac (I know, I know) but I’ve souped it up and it’s been fine with Final Cut 5.0.4… recently I upgraded the OS to Tiger 10.4.10 and did all the upgrades that go with that, and FCP still seemed fine, but then it didn’t see my deck when I tried to capture more footage… so I trashed my preferences and reset them, played with the AV settings and then it could see the deck, but now when I try to open the log/capture window the whole program FCP closes.Anyone? Bueler?
Thanks~ -

For DV the eMac is just fine.
What are you capturing the media to?
Have you tried “Repair Disk Permissions” in the Disc Utility?

i had this problem once when tyring to use an older G4 macbook(or whatever they were called then) to capture footage on the road.
All I can say is check and then double check your capture and av settings.
also try capturing straight to the internal hard drive as this has worked for me in the past. I know it isn’t ideal but I believe fcp 5 may have some bugs with capturing to firewire drives on older macs.
