    Unable to locate apple firewire

    Posted by Anna Little on October 10, 2009 at 2:22 pm

    Hello
    I just upgraded to FCP 3 (from 5.1.4) on my Mac Book Pro and every time I open FCP it tells me it’s ‘unable to locate following external device apple firewire pal (720 x 576)’.
    Can anyone help me with this please?
    Thank you, Anna

    It is just looking for the FW device, camera or deck, in your capture preset in settings. If you don’t have a FW attached just continue. If you do have a camera or deck attached and it does not recognize your device you will have to change your capture setting.

    Thanks for your help. I reinstalled FCP and it seemed to work!
    Thanks, Anna
