  • NO device control…what the…????

    Posted by Brian Pitt on February 21, 2006 at 9:58 pm

    I am having a really crazy issue here. I cannot log and capture anything using device ctontrol. I am using a Sony AJ-d455 deck and I have been using this deck without problems to capture video for about 6 months. I can still capture using capture now, but we all know how reliable that little feature is. I am unable to control the deck in the log and capture window. All of my video /capture/device control settings are correct. I’ve checked and double checked all of the settings. Anyone have a clue as to what might be wrong?

    The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.

    Next:
    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

    or

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