Hi,

I am having the same issue! John, sound like I can only hook up to one firewire port then? So that means my typical workflow – where I use a firewire production drive, can’t work…

How do I daisy chain so that I can use a production drive and the Mackie Onyx 820i?

When I spoke to Mackie- the guy there told me that my operating system had to be rolled back.. He also said that I shouldn’t need a driver at all for a Mac Pro because it should recognize it right away…

Does this make sense to you?

Thanks so much,

Dixon,

Just wanted to let you know that we did get the bioluminescence footage I had inquired about. Thanks again for your help.

We did have to use gain – but it wasn’t too bad and not too grainy.

When my colleague begins editing – I can post it if you’d like.

The bugs are very blue – and only light up for a few seconds.

Thanks again!

Dixon,

Thanks so much for the quick response! Everything you said makes sense. I will work with the iris and get up as close as the camera allows (I believe it is about 3 feet with the z5 lens…)

If I have anything worth showing you – I will! This is an experiment for us, but we hope to use it on a science website.

We are low budget so can’t really get out hands on a DSLR for this…

Thanks again.

Hi,

I know that this is an older post, but we have just started seeing FCP 7 quit when we hit the “log” button during L&C.

Prior to this, it was working fine. We don’t know what has changed.

Do you have any thoughts on what we should do/try to figure this out?

If someone had made changes to system preferences, could that cause it? I know that someone had used the computer for some sound editing and had made a few changes – but he doesn’t think he touched anything other than the sound preferences….

Any thoughts? We shot footage in HDV1080i60 as usual…Not sure what has changed….

Thanks much
Dianne
