Is the “media” switch set to “tape” and camera in “vcr” mode?

No doubt. I’ve gotten a lot of good info from the LAFCPUG website for example.

LOL! 🙂

Actually that was my point. Your statement can be applied to many posts on these forums. There are editors outside of LA after all. 🙂

I have seen this but it’s not consistent so it’s difficult to pinpoint the problem. I removed some questionable fonts from my system and that seemed to help. FWIW

Do you have P2 cards in your camera? Can you mount them? If not its most likely the cable or the camera’s FW port.

Are you using an FW800 adapter on a FW400 6pin to 4 pin cable? I would try using a different cable first and then testing your firewire ports with other devices. FW ports are supposed to be hot-swappable but I never do it. I have seen several FW ports get blown that way. I have an HVX-200 available and hooked it up with a FW400 6 to 4 cable and it works fine with both tape and P2 under FCPX

Are you recording to tape or P2? How are you connecting the camera to the computer?

I’ve earned a decent living doing video production and editing for nearly 30 years. Very rarely has a client been overly concerned with many of the issues that the professionals on these forums talk about. In my experience they just want the job done reasonably well within their budget and time constraints. They don’t otherwise care if I were to use a pinhole camera and stop-motion to get it done.

Why not export the :30 seconds, double-check that it is exactly what you need and then delete the original clip or to be safe, burn it to a DVD or copy to an external hard drive before you delete from your media drive. There’s no way that I know of to do it directly in FCP.
