Capturing video from Canon GL2
So heres the issue....
My GL2 is connected via 4pin to 6pin firewire. Directly to the macbook pro. If I turn on the camera (set to vcr/playback)before lauching FCE HD, the application fails to launch. The colorful disc just spins and spins. Finnally I have to force quit the application.
If I launch FCE and then turn on the camera. Then File>capture, the capture window appears. In the status area it reads "vtr ok" but in the window it says "preview disabled". At this point the controlls in the capture window will run the camera, rewind,play, and such. If I hit "stop" in the window, the spinning disc returns and spins and spins. And again I must force quit the application.
So what gives???
Heres the thing also. Last week I hooked up the camera and it played fine in the capture window. I was only testing it out, so I didn't actually try uploading footage to the computer. Oh but also, before hooking up to the mac there was no sound from the camera. Once in the capture window I was able to view video but no audio coming through the mac. After disconnecting however the camera suddenly produced sound.
Hmmmmm.....
Someone please help.
My settings in FCE are easy set up NSTC.
