  • Z7U HDV tape footage to FCP not working

    Posted by J. Tad newberry on March 10, 2009 at 7:55 am

    Rented a Z7U and shot HDV tape today but can’t get it from the camera to the computer…and little or nothing in the book about it. The only cable I have on hand is the 6-pin 1394 cable, but i get no signal at all to my Mac, and on the camcorder, the screen said “HDV IN iLink” (instead of out). I went through the menus and didn’t see anywhere to change the settings to send out a signal. Any ideas?

    thanks again!

    Hey Jerry! Thanks so much for the phone call the other day that solved this problem easily. For anyone else who is clueless as I, Jerry said i had done everything right…EXCEPT for having FCP unlaunched before hooking up the Firewire cable. Once I did that, it worked like a charm. Thanks again, Jerry!

    Thanks again!
