Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / September 2003Canopus ADVC100 & FCP4
G'day, I have recently purchased a canopus convertor for use with fcpro4. I am having trouble inputing analog footage. I hook up canopus, open up Final cut, but when I go into log and capture and select non-controllable device it states no communication. If I select DV - Pal it states VTR OK and I can play the analog tapes in the viewer but at no time when I click on Capture Now does my analog footage get onto my hard drive? Any ideas would be excellent, thanks... > G'day, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Any ideas would be excellent, thanks... Have you loaded the fcp4 update to 4.01 I had a similar problem with my datavideo convertor, and found its most likely yet another bug in fcp4. To make it go away I had to make sure the settings are correct under "audio/video" settings, and not rely on the log and capture my settings are: Device Preset: Firewire PAL Sequence Preset: PAL 48kHz Capture Preset: PAL 48kHz When you go into log and capture and hit the capture now button, what happens? does the capture preview window get shown? I am assuming you have set the capture disk to something with lots of space? Word of warning, dont let fcp4 run out of disk space, when rendering or capturing, it crashes big time, taking your project with it  Signaturewww.ozetechnology.com Powered by Apples and Penguins Proud to be 100% Microsoft Free > > G'day, > > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > Word of warning, dont let fcp4 run out of disk space, when rendering or > capturing, it crashes big time, taking your project with it Thanks for the reply. I am yet to get the fcpro4 update but will soon. When using a convertor doesnt my device preset need to be set to Non-Controllable Device? I have tried this one and FireWire PAL numerous times but to no avail. The capture preview does get shown but all I get is a frozen image of the video I am trying to input. Disk is not a problem I have heaps of space. I think my problem lies with the Capture Now function? Last night I tried to use it without the convertor just a straight dv camera via firewire to computer hook up and I had the same problem. ???

On my 1Ghz G4, the capture window is very jerky, and stops dead from time to time have you tried to capture with iMovie?

I've got a dual 1.25 Ghz G4 with 1.7GB memory so hopefully the problem doesnt lie there. I just tried to import the analog footage with imovie and was successful! It seems the problem is with my fcpro Capture Now function, it doesnt work with any format dv or analog. Worth a re-install?? >>>>>G'day, >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] > Capture Now function, it doesnt work with any format dv or analog. > Worth a re-install?? another day, another outage, just another example of the joys of being a tel$tra broadband hostage.... ok, so its not a hardware resource issue a reload is always a good move, just be warned that I have found in the past that the only way to get a stable fcp4 install is to totally rebuild the machine, which is what I am having to do after making the big mistake and loading 4.0.2 Signaturewww.ozetechnology.com Powered by Apples and Penguins Proud to be 100% Microsoft Free |
