I don’t understand why when I connect my camera to the computer, the computer recognises it but FCP doesn’t. Is there an import setting that I need to change for the firewire? Anything else I’m missing? I’m editing on FCP 6.0.6. Otherwise I understand that Clipwrap is the way to go. Would love to find a solution through FCP if possible though. Any ideas most welcome!
