Think maybe this is a big enough need to have Apple put this ability into FCP?

Was going to say the same. Changing the settings to your sequence after you have clips on it won’t work. You must make the settings change and then create the sequence.

Make sure that the Sequence settings and the Capture settings match.

Thanks but the DV deck is a Panasonic. MY BetaSP is a Sony.

In the canvas window there are 3 buttons – between the timecode readouts – the one on the right has IMAGE / IMAGE & WIREFRAME / WIREFRAME. Make sure Image and wireframe is chosen.

I have decided that the problem is with the DECK. HAs to be. There is a tag on the front that reads NO INPUT! So maybe that would affect the output. So I used the S out to the S in on the Beta and went that way. Thanks for all the advice

The deck is a loner. The company I got it from is pretty reliable and they use it a lot. I fed the vid out off the panasonic to my sony 2800 and switched to composite, I can get vid but audio is an issue. Only XLR to the beta.

I have used both suggestions and see nothing. I have the deck plugged into the back port of the G5. Restarted the computer with deck on and plugged in. Started both IMovie and FCP and nothing. FCP is set to DV NTSC 48 IMovie is in camera mode which I believe is capture mode. Nothing says capture. I do have a cable feeding a monitor directly so I know there is video.

any \other suggestions? The cable came from one of our engineers, he says it’s good.

That was it guys. Was in such a hurry to turn this 17 min piece that didn’t consider rendering since it was playing in realtime.

Thanks

I captured together. Unlinked the two on the timeline for trimming. Later on when I needed to restore some of the video, I would park the playhead on the place that where the audio was correct. But Match Frame will on call up the audio portion of the clips and not the video.
