Alas, turned off the machine, plugged in the Apple certified cable, Turned the Sony HDV A1u on in playback mode, booted it up, got FCP up, went to tape logging and…no results. Stuck.
It’s got to be an Apple imac problem. I’m sure it is. Why didn’t they put a firewire 400 port on this machine?
Do you think if I buy a firewire hub that goes to USB in the back, or firewire 800 that it will work then?
Anyone have ANY suggestions.
The Sony A1u is 2K. The imac is brand new. The cable is from apple. Final Cut Studio 2.
It doesn’t add up? I’ve been doing this for 20 years -8 with Final Cut, and this is literally the only time I’ve never gotten something to work.
Ugh!
