I get it now, was watching on the computer monitor. Then on NTSC output all was good. Sometimes the basics aren’t so obvious, especially for a guy with no training so, thanks everybody for your helpful comments. Love the COW!
OK. I captured a second clip – both of these from my HDV camera via firewire as 16 x 9 DVCAM – haven’t set up the Beta via the data video box yet – and it looks correct with the capture codec DV anamorphic. It does not give me a prores capture option.
Thanks Zane and Rafael. So when I was first going to load the FCPS3 upgrade on a new system, the ENTIRE Final cut program is there? I thought I had to load the old one first because it is an “upgrade package” altho it had all the discs. Should I do a total wipe-out and fresh install on everything for best results? i really want all the goodness this box can deliver. Thanks you guys.
