Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy No Capture Window

  • No Capture Window

    We open the capture window and it does not appear. Any ideas?

    I had the BMD Deck Capture Window open, but closed it and now the FCP cxapture window is gone.

    We have rebooted several times

    First, go to the Window (pull-down menu)> Arrange and try “Restore Window Layout…” (or some of the other choices).

    If that doesn’t work…

    THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
    “Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”

    Click the following link for instructions.

    https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html

    A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
    There are versions for FCP (Pro) & FCE (Express) and a new one for FCP 5.

    Download these free Apple Scripts at

    https://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
    or

    This is one FCP tip that has helped in solving hundreds of “odd” problems.

    That did it.
