Need help getting Avid to see my camera bringing in video!!
Hello!
I have a sony handcam fx1 and have it hooked up via firewire into my computer. I’m trying to bring in HD video through my camera because I am not able to through my deck. Can someone please tell me how I can bring the video into avid? I have media composer software and I need to get the video into it some how. Is there a way to trick avid into seeing it like it’s the deck??
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!!
Thanks in advance!!

Can you elaborate on where you’re getting tripped up?
Generally—Within the capture tool, disable machine control by clicking the “toggle source” button. Then be sure to supply a tape name. Be sure your desired Video and Audio Channels are highlighted up near the top of the capture tool.
I can’t speak for video/audio input settings, I only use SDI myself…but assuming those are configured for correctly for a Firewire connection in the Video Input and Audio Input Tools, you should be able to crash record from the camera.
