Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 locks up with color wheel when doing a capture
I am attempting to do a capture from my Sony HDR-HC7 into FCP 5.1.4. Easy Setup is HDV-1080i60 Firewire Basic. When I bring up log and capture the camcorder is seen. I can control it with the controls. I can see the video in the L&C window. The audio bars under clip settings move when I am playing. Shuttle works. However, if I do anything else, such as Capture Now, FCP hangs with a spinning color wheel. This even happens if, with the video playback stopped, I try to close the L&C window.
Good thought. I have 4 750 Gb disks. Video/Audio Capture are set to folders on HD3. Video/Audio Render are set to HD2. Waveform/Thumbnail are set to folders on HD2. Autosave Vault is set to the HD1 volume. I reset all of them in case some pointer got confused.
