How to Capture MiniDV to FCPX on MacBook Pro M1 Max (with Sony Handycam HDR-HC3) - Camera not recognized
I never had an issue importing MiniDV footage onto my old iMac via a iLink DV to firewire cable. But now that I've upgraded to the MacBook Pro 16" M1 Max, I have yet to find a cable hookup that allows Final Cut Pro X to recognize the camera. I've tried:
1) DV to USB-A (cable for DCR-TRV75E)
2) HDMI to USB-C
3) DV to Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3/USB-C
Does anyone know how I can get FCPX to recognize the camera or, if not, any converter box that would work with the Sony Handycam HDR-HC3 to get decent quality transfers from the MiniDV tapes. (I have also tried iMovie -- same issue.) Thank you.
