PROBLEMS IMPORTING VIDEO: SONY I LINK TO FIREWIRE 800 OR THUNDERBOLT 2
SONY HDR-FX1 CAMCORDER. USE SONY I LINK TO FIREWIRE 800 CABLE OR SAME CABLE WITH A FIREWIRE 800 TO THUNDERBOLT 2 CABLE TO CAPTURE VIDEO. LAST DID THIS IN MARCH 2019 AND WAS PLUG AND PLAY PER USUAL. NOW ON TWO COMPUTERS RUNNING MAC OS MOJAVE VERSION 10.14.6 AND FINAL CUT PRO X VERSION 10.4.8 WHEN I CONNECT TO THE APPLE MAC MINI (LATE 2012) VIA FIREWIRE 800 OR FIREWIRE TO THUNDERBOLT 2 OR APPLE MACBOOK AIR (11-INCH, EARLY 2014) VIA FIREWIRE TO THUNDERBOLT 2 AND TRY TO IMPORT THE COMPUTERS SEE THE CAMERA AS AN OPTION TO IMPORT FROM IN FINAL CUT PRO X SCREEN BUT THE CONTROLS (PLAY, REWIND, ETC) FOR THE CAMERA IN THE IMPORT WINDOW DO NOT CONTROL THE CAMERA AND THE IMPORT BUTTON DOES NOT START THE CAMERA. WHEN I PRESS PLAY ON THE CAMERA ITSELF I SEE VIDEO IN THE CAMERA VIEWFINDER BUT NOT ON THE IMPORT SCREEN ON THE COMPUTERS. ON THE MACBOOK AIR I GOT A MESSAGE:
A new network interface has been detected.
The "Thunderbolt FireWire" network interface has not been set up. To set up this interface, use Network Preferences.
ON THE MAC MINI USING THE THUNDERBOLT CONNECTOR THIS SCREEN DID NOT POP UP.
- SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THE SOFTWARE WORK AGAIN TO IMPORT WITH THIS SET UP.
- I HAVE NEW MAC MINIS AND A NEW MACBOOK AIR RUNNING THE MOST CURRENT CATALINA AND FINAL CUT PRO X THAT I WOULD PREFER TO USE. ARE THERE CONNECTORS/ADAPTERS FROM SONY I LINK TO THUNDERBOLT 3 (USB-C) TO ACCOMPLISH THIS?
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
