no, it’s not quite THAT bad!

I was asked to edit last minute and it’s for a close friend (hence the low budget). I’ve cut bits before but never with FCP and i’m not familiar with filters. I do agree though pre-planning is always advised!

If anyone could suggest anything it would be much appreciated.

cheers

Hi Guys,

Problem not solved but alternative sorted, so i’m still in business! managed to use the Panasonic AJ-HDX900E that we shot on as a player. So we’ve established that the problems lies in the the deck. I’m not gonna worry too much about it now as I have a music video to cut for completion tomorrow! 🙁

Cheers everyone for all of your help. It’s massively appreciated!

my next effort will be to use the camera as a player but this isn’t ideal! i don’t understand why it’s not working?!

I’ve tried putting a DV signal through and i get the message ‘unable to locate the following external device – Apple Firewire PAL’

Anyone shed any light? I really REALLY want this to work!

i agree, i can’t help but think it’s the deck settings. I have the deck set up for 1080i/50. I found the following website that says about settings for the AJ-HD1400 and FCP 5.1.1. I’ve set the deck and FCP accordingly and still nothing.

https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/sales_o/ieee1394/AJ-HD1400P_FCP51.html

Could it be anything to do with cables. Maybe the deck is giving out IEEE1394 and the computer is trying to receive firewire? or is that an incredibly dumb thing to say?

Thank you for your speedy reply. Much appreciated. No luck though!

-Make sure the deck is turned on before you launch FCP.

Just tried this and it still throws up the message

In regards to settings I did it manually 1st time round and when that didn’t work I tried esay setup. When i opened up the capture window i was welcomed with an image of me through the built in cam!. Not a pretty site! I will try t again though just to be sure.

– Make sure the preset Device control is Firewire and not Panasonic RS-422.

in the capture settings I have tried DVCPRO HD 1080i50 Firewire, DVCPRO HD Firewire, DVCPRO HD 25fps Firewire and PAL Firewire and all of them put up the unable to initialize video deck message

I don’t actually need to use the controls, i just need to capture the footage.

cheers for the suggestions though.

Hi all
I have a problem with the previous/skip back facility on a dvd that I have authored. When the dvd was built the skip back facility was tested and works fine ie- play a chapter, select previous and it goes back to the start of that chapter.
When the finished dvd is played on a dvd player, select previous and it goes back to the start of the previous chapter.

Why does this happen and can I fix it? Help
