It has been some time but I believe you must connect the HVX to Mac using USB, not Firewire.

October 13, 2010 at 12:43 pm in reply to: You old guys: Got any tricks for cleaning clogged one-inch video heads?

If you still have the problem this old trick may come in handy.
A trick from the old days with IVC & Ampex 1” was to use a brand new 20 Dollar bill to lightly burnish the surface of the head. Being careful to pass horizontally over the head not up and down. Any new bill will work, but it always looked more professional to the client using a crisp new $20. It must be a new bill for 2 reasons. First the new bill has not been contaminated by a lot of handling. Second the longer the bill is in circulation it looses the surface texture that works to burnish the surface of the head. If you use the tip of your finger with slight pressure you will feel the tip of the head thru the paper. Gently move back and forth across the head. Short quick passes, very gentle pressure. You will need to do it a few times, using a new part of the paper every time you do it. As you wipe the bill across the head it will pick up the clog and after removing the contaminant the burnishing action will take care of any high spots on the surface that may have been causing it to clog. In most cases it should remove any stubborn clog, and then you should wipe the head and drum with the alcohol to remove any residue left behind. Hope it helps.

Had a similar issue and I think this will help you. It is probably due to FC doing an auto render while you were out getting coffee. If so you will need to get rid of the render file. I usually just toggle the Visible button on the left of the timeline, and this will get you a pop up asking you to accept the fact that you will lose the rendered files. Once you do this, you will have the multi clip access. Hope this helps.

Same thing happened to me today. Have bin FC convert for 3 years now and this is the first time I have seen this. Turns out my problem was that a few stills I was trying to use on an Hd timeline were too large vertical axis. I resized and everything was good. Don’t know if this helps, but just a heads up.

Thanks Max. I do think it is a Sonic issue, or my work flow, because I get the same message when I try to create an image file with this app. That is why I hoped to get some feed back from someone with DVDit Pro-HD experience.
