i’m with you. i wish faster than real-time capturing was a common thing.

short answer: no.
you cant even get uncompressed over firewire at one times speed.
maybe by “uncompressed” you mean “DV with no further compression”do you have a deck that supports 4x playback?
tell your boss to invest in those Panasonic cameras with P2 cards.
no waiting time then!nick

you didn’t used to be able to monitor audio on capture.
the logical reason for that was that when FCP 1 came out there were only G3s and G4s which only went up to 450Mhz speed.
definitely not good enough to risk giving any system cycles to audio monitoring.but the systems got better, and enough people asked for it, that apple relented and built it in.
as for paying back to tape…
of COURSE you will be monitoring your tape.
if not you are either very brave or very foolish 🙂so for one thing, Apple doesn’t want to encourage people to NOT monitor their tape,
and for another NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD wants to not monitor their tape, so no one has asked for it yet.ok, i know in most cases you will not be actually monitoring off tape, just the input signal,
but still you;d be crazy not to do that.not necessarily illogical,
but definitely crazy!cheers,

Apple + WILL zoom in to the window,
but you could wind up zoomed in too far, as you did originally.have another read…
Fit to…??? anyone?… anyone?
he-he. pretty soon you’ll find apple plus and minus and shift z are second nature
“I see that in my view menu, “window and wire fame” is checked off. How do you uncheck it.”
just clicking on it should do it.
but you WANT it checked. you WANT to be in image & wireframe mode,
then you’ve got a wireframe
then you can grab the wireframe and have fun with moving that image all over the place.(Maybe i didn’t mention:
you have to select a clip in the timeline to get the wireframe in the canvas)thought: are you using the view menu in the menu bar?
and is it GREYED out, and inaccessible?
the view menu in the menu bar can work, but you need to have the canvas selected.
best to use the pull down view menu in the canvas itself.hope that helps,

“I’m afraid I can’t answer your pop quiz about how to unzoom the canvas”
yes you can!

connect your camera / deck to a monitor, and listen to the audio from there.
have you had a monitor hooked up while editing?
you may be in from some nasty shocks.nick

what bogiesan says.
fix this by going to the % pulldown menu top of both viewer and canvas and setting to “Fit to Window”
also learn this: SHIFT + Z
that’s the keyboard shortcut for fit to window.to do a proper zoom on an image,
turn on IMAGE & WIRE FRAME in the “view” menu in the CANVAS (to the right of the % menu)
select your clip in the timeline,
now you’ll see a wireframe in the canvas.
you need to grab a corner of the blue border and pull on that to increase scale.TIP: you may have to zoom the canvas out to be able to grab the blue border. (Select Canvas, Apple minus)
pop quiz: how do you get the canvas back to the correct size?nick

command + number pad activates autoselect on video tracks,
option + number pad activates autoselect on audio tracks.autoseelct affects copy / paste operations,
but not edit operations. (viewer to timeline)edit operations are controlled by track targeting.
F6 + number for V1
F7 & F8 + number for A1 & A2
(can be number pad, OR top-row numbers)nick

before you trash the prefs,
trash the waveform cache.they may re-draw correctly,
and you’ve saved losing your settings.nick

“They pretty much always had the best gear, and instead of pricing it competitively, you paid through the nose for it.”
gee, fancy having to pay more for the best.
what sort of a world is this???
