  • Really need help! – Digitizer Issues

    Posted by Paul Kim on August 29, 2005 at 2:34 pm

    When I try and capture, my preview window doesn’t display anything, and in my capture preset editor, under QuickTime Video Settings, it says that the Digitizer is [Missing] DV Video. It does give me VTR control to my deck, and plays on my NTSC monitor, but not on the computer monitor, and it can’t capture.

    I’ve never encountered this problem before in 3 years of editing, and I have no idea how to fix it. It’s been a week now. I’m sure it’s something so simple (it always is), but I have no clue. Can anybody get me out of this major jam? I need to digitize footage asap!

    Thanks!

    Your capture settings are set to DV. Most likely you either are not capturing from a DV/Firewire source and need to change your FCP capture settings to match your deck/capture device, or your FW cable from your deck is not plugged in, or your deck is not set to use its Firewire outputs.
