Oh my goodness! I’m so glad you said set your firestore to quicktime pn because i discovered something yesterday that has led me to not do that.

For the past two weeks I’ve been playing with my camera and shooting iwth my firestore set to quicktime PN. And then when I would go and enable to my MBP, there would be nothing in the Contents Folder and a last clip.txt did not exist. My footage would be stored in a folder titled the same numbers as my first clip. (make sense?) If the first clip i recorded was 0218, then the folder that contained all of my clips would be title 0218. I was becoming frusturated by not having any of my footage in the Contents folder.

A couple days ago, I decided to experiment and I set my firestore to p2 pn and when I enabled on my computer, I then had all of my footage in .mxf format stored correctly in the Contents folder and I finally had a lastclip.txt. So, Im not sure if I was doing something wrong when shooting to quicktime pn, although, all of my footage was intact and nothing seemed wrong, but I’m feeling safer shooting to p2pn and having the correct format for everything.
did you ever come across this problem shooting to quicktime pn, because, like you, everyone says shoot on a firestore to quicktime pn.

And my camera was definately set to 720/24p not 720/24pn which I know is incorrect.

Hi,
Thanks for responding.
In response to me having a DVCpro deck- Unless a firestore is considered a dvcpro deck then, no, I don’t have one.
I do have my easy set up configured to 720p/24.

So I’m still not sure why FCP is popping up with that message when I set up my east set up.
Is it possible I’m receiving that message because it thinks my play back output video is set to 720/60? Would that have anything to do with me receiving that message?

Thanks.

Yeah, I’m totally modest about my ignorance and this camera. I bought a training manual and figured out what was going on.
Thanks,

You see I’m all confused. I’m recording onto a firestore and I magically thought i would be able to firewire from my mcbpro to my camera. But I can’t do that, can I?

So I beleive what I need to do is camera to firestore and then buy a field monitor and connect that to my camera, correct?
