Trying to Capture Sony HDV 1080i/60 into Final Cut Pro 5.0.4, not working, can anyone help?

[Beth Goins]

I’ve been having the same issue today after capturing 1080i60 with a Sony HVR-Z1U.

None of these suggestions worked, and I’ve checked and re-checked.

Trying to import into a Mac Pro 2 GHz, dual core intel xeon running FCP 6, Mac OSX 10.4.11. I finally gave up trying to capture HD and switched the iLink on and set my FCP capture settings to Firewire DV NTSC 48 kHz Anamorphic, sequence to DV NTSC 48 kHz and Device control to FireWire NTSC, because I have to use the video tomorrow at a press conference.

Are you using the 1080i60 Easy Setup to properly setup your project, or are you simply changing the settings elsewhere, such as in the capture module?
