Hello,

OK, I too am having issues with my Sony V1U and capturing HDV footage. I’ve read this thread, changed the camera settings to playback at HDV (as suggested) and I am able to capture.

However, though I’ve changed all my capture presets and device control presets to capture HDV in FCP, it seems my video is only capturing at 720 X 480 (853 X 480 anamorphic). I know the footage was recorded at HDV 1440 X 1080 (and it says as much on the screen menu when I play the tape back in my V1U camera), so why isn’t it being captured at HDV 1440 X 1080? I’ve gone through all of my capture settings in FCP and my camera settings and everything is set up properly. I’m at a loss as to why FCP won’t capture my footage at the frame size it was shot at.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use FCP 7.0.2 on Mac with Snow Leopard OS.

Thanks!
