not quite understanding that instruction as it has always been set to firewire ntsc 720×480, what was it supposed to be set to before?

I don’t know what to tell you except that something is messed up. Perhaps it’s a setting on your camera that isn’t allowing firewire in.

well thanks for the advice,
Im still not quite sure what you meant by changing my video output to 29.97 and the view menu instructions View-Video Playback-dv 29.97 I am hoping to try this. Also If the firewire was messed up im not sure why I would be able to see the video frame by frame when changing the view-external-current frame. And also I do get a clear audio signal. I think it has to be a setting somewhere I just have to find the right combination…

THat should do it. Can you play regular dv footage out?

SD NTSC = 29.97

If you have been editing in 23.98 SD and you are trying to output to DV SD over firewire then I think you are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Thats why a software conversion like you are trying sounds logical. And following Shanes #8… and if you still dont have video and audio then RESTART the mac.

Your LCD is not confined by NTSC SD 29.97 frame rate that TV’s are- thats why you can hear but not see through NTSC output.

Seems like you should be getting video and audio through firewire if you have dropped your seq into a DV-NTSC 29.97

Since FCP 3, Final Cut has been able to add pulldown to dv 23.98 video over firewire. This is not a mystery.

Obviously, he has some settings wrong.

I was able to remedy the problem just a little late for yesterdays mailing but oh well such is life…
it was an aspect ratio issue. The footage was captured and edited at 720×486 I just placed the sequence in a 720×480 timeline and it worked. Thanks everybody for all of the suggestions

If you had made to true dv sequence by selecting the 23.98 easy setup, then creating a new sequence and nesting, you would have had a dv sequence.
