I have tried all of your suggestions so far. I trashed my preferences, and still have the same problem. Not sure what is going on. All of the settings match, as far as clip and sequence, just seems to be some kind of glitch. Especially since the same thing happens in Quicktime, where a single frame will show, but if it’s playing it does not go through to the camera properly.
Are there any other suggestions out there from anyone? I live in Vietnam and there are not really any Mac familiar experts around, and even less people who deal with video.
