Brilliant – four years down the line but you still solved the problem. For some reason the slider was disabled, but the reset worked a treat. Still not sure why the end frame was black in the first place …

Many thanks

But I can go 1080 25P to HDV can’t I ?

Yes I am going firewire from the mbp to the deck – I can use the deck to master because previously I’d dump all my SQ 50i footage via firewire from the camera, though I think that was to DVcam.

Is Edit to tape my easiest option ? (what’s the difference with Print to video ?) I have had a degree of success with Print to video, but the output monitor displayed a horribly squashed and distorted image

With Edit to tape, to be honest I’m uncertain of the myriad of settings (see my first post) that need to be correct, but I’ve gone firewire into the deck, and video out into the monitor where I can see the decks on screen display , but no pic.

I know I’m not far away from sorting this – it’s bound to be one stupid thing (probably me…)

Thanks Chris

Thanks Jerry – that’s a new one …

Is that what I really need ? I already have Log and transfer, and all the SXS browsers etc, and I don’t have a problem importing the footage – it’s at the other end, after the edit where I come unstuck
