Hi,
I have this exact problem going on as I’m trying to install fcp 7.0 on a new laptop. Did you ever figure out the problem?
Thanks

Hi John,
It’s funny that I come across your post. I’m actually looking for the same thing as you. Was wondering if I could find an adapter to monitor the audio on my gh2. If you find anything please post and I’ll do the same.
cheers

It’s the pro applications update 2010-2 that people are looking for, myself included. If anyone does have the .dmg file please drop me a line so that I can get a copy of it. I know many people who are looking for that added bit of security.
cheers,

Thanks for the reply Richard.
I have looked at the DSLR’s but isn’t true that they only record up to 12 mins at a time. I shoot a lot of event videography and if that is true I don’t have the time to run up to my DSLR and let it record. If I’m wrong on this that’d be great but from what I have read they have a limited recording time which is useless to me. Isn’t focusing a problem as well. That the lens doesn’t give me seamless focus is I pan or zoom the camera and I’ll need to refocus by using the AE lock button. And it’s hard to get focus by using the lcd screen on the back. I heard that one should buy an adapter that slips onto the back of the camera for that. (an addition $400) As well it might have a larger CMOS sensor but from what I have heard when you shoot video the camera is not using the whole sensor anyways.
The roller shutter issue has been around and when it comes to camera flashes I’d like a full exposure per frame with a camera flash and not a partial exposure. With camera flashes and the shutter rolling you will get a full exposure some times but most of the time only 1/3 or 1/4 of the screen will record that flash so it looks unnatural. Unnatural enough to bug me. Here’s a great explanation on the cons of both CCD’s and CMOS. https://dvxuser.com/jason/CMOS-CCD/
And by the time I get the body, a lens or two, and battery system then I am pretty much spending as much for a Canon XF300 which is dedicated to video. Has two compact flash storage systems which at up to 50 mbps on two 32 gigs cards I can record up to 2.5 hours with having to go back to the camera. And once one card is full I can swap it out without stopping. I do loose a bit on DOF and it will be heavier handheld but that’s the downside to it.
I shouldn’t knock it until I try it but I am looking at the possibility of combining a Canon XF300 and XhA1 and just wanted to know if those two images from those cameras would cut well together. As well I have a fair bit of money invested in batteries and other canon accessories which can be used with these newer versions.
Thanks for the reply.

can’t agree more on that…..
…..and in the last 10 years have probably had to rebuild or do a clean install 5 or 6 times now…..
it’s a slight pain in the butt but i just see it as spring cleaning now….and it’s best to do it before anything major happens so you dont lose any information….you clean on your terms and not your computers terms….
just my two cents….

hi mark,
have you dumped your preferences for FCP?
have you done a repair disk via Disk Utilities on the external HD and put in your original install disk to do a repair disk to your Start Up drive and then repair your permissions after all that?
try zapping your PRAM? check your other ram.
reinstall FCPro….
i dont edit with HD footage yet but have many external hdrives and have never had one unmount while I was editing. I have also had Hdrives die on me and none have gone that way either.
if you could find someone else to try and edit your footage on that exact Hdrive on a different editing suite that would narrow down the problems as well…..
hope this helps….
