Hmmm, I changed my sequence in setting (rather than create a new sequence and dropping in) and that still didn’t work. I will try it your way. THANKS

My sequence settings were at DVCPro HD 720p60. This is HD footage. But I changed it to DV-NTSC and no change. What I did realize is that the video recorded is wherever the playhead is in the timeline. (Before I had the playhead at beginning so was black. This time in the middle so a still image was recorded with sound.)

Hi Jeff, thanks for your response!

Here are my answers.

Is your View>Video Display set to NTSC firewire? YES
Is your external video set to all frames? YES

If you play your footage, does it appear on the handycam? When I play and record to handycam, it does not show on LCD, but it is mirrored on desktop and the audio is being recorded and I can hear it on handycam. When I stop playing/recording – ESC on FCP, it shows a still image of the last frame played. When I simply play the FCP timeline, it shows the last still image on LCD but does not show moving image. When I pause the play, it shows the still image where I paused.

Is this confusing or what? Any advice you may have is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jenny
