Thanks Debe!
I’ve restored the firewire VTR connectivity, but the log & capture issues remain. You’ve verified what I expected about FCP 4.5 and OS X 4.x. Short captures seem to work and that’s getting me thru today’s edit. I plan to upgrade to FCS 2 soon, but now I’ll need to do it sooner. Thanks for getting back to me on this!

Thanks, Russ. All went well working from the info on Ken Stone’s page. However, I now can’t get my system to operate my DSR 25 via firewire. I checked all the preferences I could find for DV device control, but it says that it’s unable to communicate with the VTR… and all my preferences have been trashed.
Did I miss something?
Thanks,

[zrb123] “have you tried trashing your preferences”
I’m not sure how to do this…

I guess I should add some clarification: I’m on a Dual G5 with 4.5 GB of RAM. The errors don’t appear to be on the tape as the capture freezes in different places each time I get the “dropped frame” error. I’m capturing DVCAM via firewire. The timecode on the tape is drop frame. It seems to ultimately capture shorter clips after a few tries. Longer clips fail repeatedly to capture.
Like I said, this never was an issue before the OS upgrade. Could that be it, or am I missing something.
Thanks…

Sorry for the delayed response. Out shooting the past two days.
THANK YOU for your help. I’ll try those things…

I set up the timeline at DV NTSC 48khz, which is where it primarily stays. I import almost all my footage at DV 720 x 480 and any other assets I set to be the same. Please forgive any illiteracy with FCP. I’m functional, but not necessarily knowledgeable…

Thanks, Leigh. Movie Info shows the format as DV 720 x 480, which is the same as the program into which they’re being imported. There’s no audio on the clips. I bypassed the Media Manager warning and dropped the clips on the timeline. They required rendering but seem to integrate fine. Any thoughts on why the issue if I encounter it in the future…? Thanks!
