Similar question. Fcp x. My firewire camera shows up in the import window with Camera in record mode, with no mini dv tape. Camera’s content appears in import window, with ‘camera not controllable’ showing in top left corner. Hit blue import button, time begins to tick up. All looks normal except clip is not found when i return to the main window.
Same thing in imovie. Strange. Anyone else? I do interviews and prefer to stream direct, not rec. to tape then import (which works, b.t.w.)
As a test, used the facetime camera the same way…all normal.
Cameras canon zr 20 and zr 800. Host computer runs mavericks.
