i realized after the fact that i posted without giving my computer info but didn’t have a chance to go back and modify. your opening paragraph was condesending and unnecessary. you weren’t forced to respond to my post. i do appreciate your preferences suggestion, and thanks for the link.
thanks shane- working on a 17″ macbook – can’t always see the icons as clearly as i would like to…didn’t realize the incorrect icon was active… little things i’m not quite used to with final cut yet…
john- i have the same camera, and have been told by the guys at the apple store that if final cut doesn’t recognize the camera, try again by powering down final cut, connecting camera first, then open final cut. that should solve problem.
