  • Using Camera to Log and Capture

    Posted by Jennifer Marshall on December 5, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    I have a question. I have Final Cut Pro Suite 2. I was wondering; how do I use a camera to log and capture footage. The camera is Canon HDV 1080i. One of the consumer grade cameras. Is there an option I can use in the easy set up that will allow me to use the camera to log and capture?

    Did you try setting easy setup to “HDV – 1080i60”?

    Yes and it was still giving me problems. Said something to the affect of not being able to log and capture clips online.

    by chance do you have any other FireWire devices hooked up to your computer when you connect your camera? Canons are notorious for nor playing nicely in such scenario. I own four different Canons. Also, make sure the camera vtr output is set to hdv and not auto before you plug the camera in. Hope this helps.

    I’ll give that a go. How do I change the vtr output on the camera?
