There used to be several animated academy countdown leaders on the FCP install disks:

FCP Install Disc >
Extras folder >
Head Leaders for Cinema Tools folder >
Leader Clips folder >
Choose one and import it into FCP.

Or go here:

And roll down to the “Final Cut Pro Universal Leaders” section, download your choice, and import.

REVISED the DRAWING-

Wiper on VR (potentiometer) is shown connected properly.

Here’s a simple low-cost line-level adjustable pad that you can build.
Vary the amount of padding by adjusting the VR (Variable resistor or potentiometer.)

Use one for each channel, inserted between the mixer and the camera.

Use XLR connectors for Input and Output.
XLR Pin 2 & Pin 3 are the Input and Output lines.
XLR Pin 1 is the shield.

No need for volt meters, etc.

Set the Camcorder’s audio input(s) to LINE-level.

Send tone out of the FP33 mixer at “0” VU.

Set the adjustable (manual) audio level on the camcorder to about -10 or -12 (or -18) dB.

Make sure that your input TO THE MIXER is set correctly for the type of source being sent.
As in, if you have a LINE level from the house console, make sure you are feeding a line input setting on the FP33.

Do a test before the shoot and listen with your headphones coming first directly from the FP33 MIXER… then, listen coming from the CAMERA’S audio output.

Everything should sound “clean.”
