Hi everyone I’m so glad to find this site and this thread! I am experiencing the same problem and I’m trying to get going on my documentary!
I have captured about half of the 100 hours I shot and then all my effects stopped working. I updated Leopard to 10.5.5, installed FCP and got the update for 6.0.5 and now when I try to capture from my XHA1 using the HDV 108060i capture, HDV sequence, and HDV Firewire settings it gives me the error message that the camera cannot be intialized.
I was always able to used those same settings in the past.
I found that I CAN capture using the HDV – ProRes422 preset but that takes up 4x as much space and I already have 50 hours of HDV footage.
And I DO have the XH set on HDV not AUTO.
If anyone has any clue you would be a life saver!
Thank you and if anyone ever needs any help with anything just contact me!
