Anything from LaCie is a gamble. I am an editing tech and I have seen lots of LaCie drives die for no reason at all. I would look at the G-Tech drives.

I don’t know which version of Xpress Pro you have but Avid fully supports HDV in both Macs and Windows. And with the version 5.5.1 it also supports HD on a Mac. I don’t know if you’ve done any editing on HDV but it would be best if you capture it in DVCPRO so you can do frame accurate editing.

Are you trying to do a dissolve? If it’s a strait cut then the first clip has handles that are still playing but a second or more is way too long. If this persists either shorten the first clip or bring it into the viewer, set your output marker and reinsert it to the timeline. You can also take the original clip, set you in’s and out’s, drag this new clip to the browser and make it a master clip. Then put this clip into the timeline.
but, before doing any of that of course, trash all your prefs.

Conforming inside FCP is sometimes less than perfect. i believe natress has a good plugin for doing that.

first, trash your prefs. then make sure your other software has the correct upgrades.

On Page 84 ( i think) of the manual it shows exactly how to get your files from the camera to the hd.

I believe Nattress has some nice plugins that will do that.

This camera captures using a P2 card. You need to be able to read the clips on the card and import those clips to FCP. You do not capture as they are already clips.

Because of the compression on HDV you can’t put it into a DVD. Remember, it’s a long gop format. The best you can do, and maybe the smartest, is to bring it into FCP as DVCPRO HD. The quality is the same but the output is no problem onto a DVD.

if you’re setting it in as a picture frame look just use the distort tool to size it inside the bigger picture, which of course the smaller pic is on track 2 and it will work great. If it pic’s move use tracking in your motion tab.
