I attempted to import media to FCP (Sony Camcorder). Prompted with error Thunderbolt Apple accessorie Apple fire wire adapter to Thunderbolt port. I also used the USBC port and still didn't recognize the camera.

So it is a DV or D8 camcorder with Firewire and you have the two adapters below, right? USB is only for images so don't try to use it.


You might also have to restore legacy video device support In Recovery Mode:

If you can't use your camera or video output device after updating to macOS Sonoma 14.1 - Apple Support
