Thanks Shane! This is exactly the answer I was looking for and why I described non-video editors as my source. I knew it didn’t sound right!! My instincts were right and I’m glad I bought the drive I did! THANK YOU! Creative Cow Rocks!

PROBLEM RESOLVED! I wasted many hours on this only to find out it was my Logitech camera. I have to use Macam as the driver for that camera to work with Skype because it is geared for Windows machines. I’m thinking it had to be the driver interfering with the FCP and/or QT software. When I unplugged the camera, the capturing worked flawlessly…on the fly or batch. When I plugged it back in the same problem came back. Previously I had had that camera plugged in without issues to my working on FCP but perhaps somewhere there was a sw update that changed that. I guess that’s a sign for me to get a more MAC compatible web camera! I also learned a lot reading this forum. I need to do a better job of maintaining my system and cleaning my drives regularly. Thank you Shane for the link to that maintenance software. Even though it wasn’t the solution it certainly did clean up some other messes I was unaware of. Glad I found this place. Without the on staff tech support, it’s the next best thing….maybe better! Thank you all!

No. Not HD. I have 200 GB of space available. I did a workaround…used my old ibook G3 with FCP 3 to the external then moved the project over to the Mac Pro. I can work for now but gotta figure this out before the next job.

The reinstall did not work this time. I did empty the trash each time I’ve trashed preferences and when I uninstalled FCP. I’ll try meticulously looking with another set of eyes but the only extra set around is only 7 years old. Other than that I’m at a loss. My system is completely useless.

3 hours later:
I have tried reinstalling Quicktime. I have tried tossing preferences. I have tried other tapes. I have not resolved the problem. FCP continues to flash the capture window then play the tape but no capturing happens and I continue to find untitled QT files in my scratch folder. My deadline is approaching and I can’t even begin editing! Meanwhile all works well in iMovie. I may have to resort to that since this is a straight forward project but I prefer FCP. This problem arose before and the only fix was to reinstall the software and it’s updates. I am doing that again now, but that will take hours! Very disappointed in this sw and the fact that Apple will not tech support FCP 6. Cannot afford the upgrade and I have no confidence that this problem will be resolved. Does anyone have any clues to what might be happening. I will post an update after my reinstallation.
