Why would you shoot one camera in progressive and one interlaced? That can lead to all sorts of issues. I don’t have a 7D, so I don’t know if it can shoot interlaced. The XH-A1 does a really nice job shooting in progressive at either 24 or 30 frames.
I will help you down the road to get this part fixed before shooting anything.

I have experience with this as I used to own a Canon xl2. This is a Canon issue, not FCP. I had this problem back in my Sony Vegas days too. A lot of Canon cameras wreak havoc when ANY other item is hooked up to FireWire. Your options are to connect an esata or USB drive as your capture, hook up your drive via a FireWire adapter into the express34 slot (if you have one), or capture to system drive and transfer the footage to tour FireWire drive once you\’ve completed capture.

I’m assuming you have the hv20 connected by firewire and turned on before launching Final Cut. FCP is rather finicky with Canon cameras (I have an hv20 and an xha1).
Have you tried the Refresh A/V Devices?

Great thread here. I’m just adding a correction. Peabody and Sherman were not Hanna/Barbera. It was by Jay Ward ( Rocky And Bullwinkle J Moose).
Sorry for the interruption

Which Canon do you use? I know the XHA-1 will natively record 23.976. Use firewire for importing your clips, and they’ll be ready to go at 23.976.

You can also try recapturing just the problematic part of the tape again. Although the glitch is usually permanently on the tape, sometimes I’ll try and recapture starting about five seconds before the problem area and FCP will capture just fine. The just piece it together. Maybe before you try this, you could play the tape a couple of times in camera and verify the glitch is happening at the same place.
Hope it helps,

Have you tried using FireWire to connect to the hv20?That should work. No real benefit in using hdmi.

I have had a bit of this issue myself since upgrading to FCP7. I’ll have viewer and canvas set to ‘open’, and have the same problems as you. What I do is set the canvas and viewer to ‘open’ a second time, even though they are already set to open. That usually works. Don’t know why multiclip sometimes doesn’t work correctly. Well, it is making the cuts correctly, but I can’t always see the selected angle until I stop playback or reset the canvas and viewer to ‘open’. Weird.
