No picture HDV log&capture window
Hello-
I’m attempting Sony Z1U HDV capture into latest version of FCP via Sony HVR-M10U deck.
There’s no picture in the Log & Capture window however I can control the deck and see TC through the window. I’ve tried the various easy and not so easy setups and preferences and have the same result. I don’t want to pay for another day of deck rental!! Please Help!!!
Thanks -

Is the deck set to HDV out? The deck maybe set to down convert to DV etc…

i also understand to send out and convert HD properly you need an AJA or blackmagic capture card. I have the same deck and have been unable to capture cleanly, meaning there have been breaks in TC, camera stoppages and minor gliches cause it to create immense new clips. upwords of 85 for a 10 minute segment.
re-initialize the deck by setting either 50i or 60i, this deck cannot capture 720i in any version(30,50,60)
initialize the deck by changing the setting at the bottom of options to either 60i/50i as
you must ensure that you are capturing with the same codec as was shot with the camera.
set the deck to down convert-off, then switch the output from auto, or DV to HDV, if that is what you want to capture.
turn off the deck, and unplug. replug in.
when hooking up the deck FW make sure you go computer, than deck, to avoid static issues.and still you may be unable to capture w/out the proper card.
however if all else fails, use imovieHD; hit play on the deck and open it up, and it should initialize witht the proper codec and capture for you.
hope this helps, and if anyone has any info on capture cards, please, throw any info out there in regards to capturing HD.
