Video Playback not an option….
Hey everyone,
I just recieved my brand new quad core Intel Mac Pro. I installed my copy of Final Cut Pro 5.0, plugged in my Sony HDV camcorder with firewire and tried to capture.
Here’s a little problem… Nothing shows up in the capture preview window. I can control the camera’s functions from the computer but the video only shows up on the camcorder. So I went to try to set the AUDIO/VIDEO settings and saw the PLAYBACK OUTPUT pulldown.
Here’s where it gets weird…
The only options that show up as selectable are NONE and DIGITAL CINEMA DESKTOP PREVIEW.
I’m using a single monitor setup. Does anyone know why those other options aren’t available? Is that the problem? Thanks a million in advance for any clues.

I believe you need FCP 5.1.
5.0 isn’t for Mac-Intel.
You’ll need the FCP Crossgrade.Good Luck,

That’s exactly what it was!
I upgraded to 5.1 today and all the problems are fixed. Thanks for the advice!
