Thanks for the quick response.

I tried what you suggested but neither worked. In View > video playback there is no option to set it to apple firewire and the two hdv options are greyed out. In View > External video, when I change the option to all frames it remains set to None. So maybe this is the problem?

It seems the camera is recognized by fcp. When I tried print to video and checked the box ‘Automatically start recording’ it did just that, only I had 16 minutes of blue instead of footage.

Any further help would be greatly appreciated!
