Well at least it’s only a few small details missing.

That’s MY point exactly. Bad move on Apple’s part. In essence they ARE forcing people’s hands at this early date.

Actually, by ceasing to offer new seats of FCP 7, they in effect ARE forcing expanding businesses to make a choice. Bad move on their part.

Hey Nate,
What’s your simple work around for printing to tape? Or getting an EDL to the colorist? Or multicam editing? Or getting client monitoring working?
Looking forward to those tips.

Hey Everybody,
Sorry, I was at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park with my family today, so didn’t get a chance to do any tests. Will try again tomorrow morning. What I can say is that the system didn’t just drop the capture it froze solid. I have to force close FCP every time I’ve tried to capture with serial control.

Hmmm. That’s an interesting thought. Just to clarify, however, for purposes of this test, I was just capturing video only from my DSR45’s component source. No SDI on the MXO2 mini. I’m not sure where the mini takes it reference. It almost has to be from the source, as I don’t believe it has a reference input. I’m not at the office anymore. I’ll look into this though.

Yes, that will probably work for this deck. However, occasionally a different deck will come in and I’d like to know that I can use serial control. Even on a firewire deck, serial control is MUCH more responsive.
Just to make sure that I wasn’t talking out my butt, I rewired my system for the Avid Adrenaline and captured footage from this deck using the same USB to serial converter, and it worked perfectly.
While there may be a conflict between the IOGear box and FCP, I want to borrow a Keyspan before counting on it, because I’m not at all sure that I don’t have something else going on with my settings or something.

Yeah, MC 5.5.2 on the same system. Maybe I can borrow a Keyspan before dropping the dough. Although looking on eBay, they don’t seem as expensive as they used to be.

It’s more as a test, to make sure I can use serial control in the future if needed. It’s not for a job I’m doing right now. Are you positive that the IOGear device is the culprit? It’s worked well for my Avid, but if it’ll fix the issue I’ll drop for a Keyspan. I just want to know that it’ll work, is all.

Hey Shane,
Well, as I said, I’m no FCP expert. In fact I barely get by. It seems like there are so many bleeding places to change settings that I have no idea what impacts what.
Is there a centralized place to just do a log and capture setting that will work from the MXO2 mini? I’m just testing, so an NTSC capture from a DSR45 is all I need for a jumping off point.
Honestly, FCP confuses the heck out of me.
