Problem capturing
I am having problems capturing my footage and I have no idea why. I have done this at least a thousand times but it’s been a while since I have done this at home. I hooked up my camera with the tape inside. Final Cut read it perfectly but when I press play the footage plays on my camera but not in Final Cut. Instead Final Cut starts spinning. I eventually have to force quit. I have done this 5 times already and don’t know what’s going on. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,

Did you turn on the camera BEFORE you launched FCP? To be sure, turn on the camera, then turn on the computer THEN launch FCP. Still no? Try another firewire cable.

Hi Shane,
Thanks for your help. I tried everything and still no. I tried capturing in iMovie just to see if there was a problem with my connection but it imported just fine. I upgraded my OS system a while ago and have had no problems editing in Final Cut. However, this is the first time I have tried capturing since then. Could that be part of it? It seems Final Cut reads my camera; I can press play on my capture controls and it plays on my camera but then Final Cut starts spinning until I hit stop on my camera. I have never had this before. Any other suggestions to try?
Thanks again,

Ahhh…OK then. What version of FCP, QT and the OS are you running? This can most assuredly be the issue.

I have no idea what happened. I turned my computer on this morning and everything seems to be capturing. I didn’t do anything different from the last 2 days but somehow this morning it worked. Thanks for your help.
Just to answer your questions, my OS is 10.4.11, my Quicktime is 7.0.4 and my Final Cut is version 4.5.
Thanks again,
Lori
