Final Cut Pro problems :(
I was attempting to upload footage from a *Canon MiniDV MD205*, but I was unable to as it said *'unable to initialise video deck'*. I then went into FCP *'Audio/Video Settings'* and tried different *'Capture Presets'*, *'Device Control Presets'* and the 'Summary' tab options. At first it seemed to work as the screen (that shows the capture, when you hit 'Now' in the *'Capture Log'* window) appeared then disappeared a second later.
I then went into *'Audio/Video Settings'* again, then the *'Capture Presets'* tab and chose *'DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic'* (as I think that is the setting we use in school). Once it was selected (with the tick beside it) I clicked the 'Edit...' button to see advanced settings. It then brought up the *'Capture Preset Editor'* window and it said underneath *'QT Video Settings'* - *'[ Missing ] DV Audio'*. I clicked on it to see the additional options and it gave me *'USB Video Class Video'* and I clicked it thinking it would solve my problem. But when I go to capture it uses the iSight and when I went back into the settings to try and edit the *'DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic'* setting again, it says *'Codec not found. You may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card'*. So because of this, no matter what *'Capture Preset'* I use it turns on the iSight and uses it instead PLUS I still cant seem to upload footage from my camera on to FCP! ๐
So down to my questions
1. How do I edit, in *'Capture Presets'* the option *'DV PAL 48 kHz Anamorphic'* to get it back to normal *('[ Missing ] DV Audio')* so the it doesn't use the iSight anymore??
2. Why is my camera not being recognised and/or what settings do i need to put it on for it to capture??
Sorry about the long winded explanation, but I wanted to give all the details incase it makes it easier to understand and to solve ๐
I have researched and found nothing so your help would be much appreciated ๐
Thanks,
