    Please provide more information such as versions of everything and if you have any capture cards. What type of deck and how it’s connected will help as well.

    Dennis, I can’t really help you until you tell me exactly what you have tried and what exactly is going on.

    What do you mean zeros appear? Imagine that I can’t see what you are doing, and you shouldn’t have to imagine too hard because I’m not there, then try and describe the problem to me.

    Tell me exactly the steps you have taken to get where you are.

    Jeremy is correct, how do you expect us to answer your questions if you are not going to assist us with your setup and what you are trying to do.

    sorry about that. I am trying to capture mini dv off of a consumer JVC deck (mini dv and vhs combo.) The timecode displays in the deck but in the log and capture window (fcp 5.1.4) where the in and out point timecode displays are, there are only zeros; 00:00:00:00

    And when you hit ‘i’ the timecode doesn’t update?

    no, timecode does not update, nor does it mark an in or an out point. also, the space bar does not start or stop the deck

    I rebooted FCP and that resolved my problem. My apologies.
