Q: Problem Capturing in FCE 1.0

Okay, I know this is an ancient program, but it has worked well for me since 2003. I have FCE HD 4.0 installed on my laptop, but I prefer using my desktop for editing and it's a G5 (not intel) and won't run 4.0.

Anyway, as I said, it's worked pretty well for years. Recently, I consistently have had problems capturing video. The capture stops way before the out mark. Obviously, this is a real hassle. Has anyone run across this problem and if so, how did they resolve it? I have plenty of HD space and the capture disk is an internal drive.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stuart

Need more details: what are you capturing and from what device (DV? HDV? from camcorder? VTR?) How is it connected to your Mac? Has this exact same set up worked before? Have you updated any software on your Mac since the last time it worked? Are there any timecode breaks on the tape? Does FCE 1.0 really work properly on OS 10.5.8?

What do you mean by saying FCE 4 won't work on a G5?

It will even work on a G4.

The only thing you need an Intel processor for is AVCHD which you are apparently not using.

Here are the specs for FCE 4 Final Cut Express 4 - Technical Specifications
