Output to tape on Sony HVR-M10U

I'm new to FCP and editing but was doing OK in SD. Now my client has started recording HD on a Sony HVR-Z1U camera and has bought a Sony HVR-M1OU deck. I have a G5 quad and Final Cut Studio (FCP 5). I captured a scene using the HDV - 1080i60 easy set up. It looks like letterbox on the canvas and I edited it and now want to get it to tape. I only need to output it SD. I have tried many ways but so far have been unable to get it out to tape. I've spoke to the Apple Tech support three times and to Sony tech support and tried all kinds of things that they have suggested and nothing has worked.
If I try to use Edit to Tape I get "Capture preset is set to HDV. Edit to tape is unsupported with this configuration. Please use print to video." I tried this and it spent some time "conforming" video then it looked like it was recording (I could see the video on the monitor on the deck itself) but the tape came out blank.
I'm getting desperate. Please if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.

Hi, David,
Thanks for looking. I just haven't found the Apple tech support people very helpful. It says in their list of supported products that they DO support both the Sony camera and the Sony deck in question.
The first time I called Apple tech support when I was having problems capturing the footage, the guy I spoke with didn't even ask me anything - he just said it wouldn't be anything to do with the software and would be the deck.
Then I went into my local Apple store and spoke with somebody at the Genius bar who knew FCP. He wasn't really able to give me much information but did suggest I should export the edited scene as a Quicktime movie but didn't seem to be sure of what settings to use. I did try to do that using NTSC anamorphic (I think from memory that was it) but still was unable to print it to tape. Each time I try anything I get a dialog box saying conforming video and it takes five hours or more before I find out each attempt doesn't work. So as you can imagine it's very frustrating.
I spoke with somebody at Sony who was very helpful but didn't know FCP and he suggested I get Apple Tech Support on the telephone and they could do a conference call with Apple, Sony and me to try and sort out the problem. I then called Apple tech support again and the guy I spoke with there just said "we don't do conference calls". He said the only support they give for free is very basic set up support and told me about the Apple Pro option ($199 each time or $799 for a year) but suggested I try the forum first, which I have done.
However, the guy at Sony had suggested I call the next day and speak with somebody there who know FCP and who wasn't there that day. I did that and he has been very helpful and is still being very helpful in solving my problems; even though they don't make the software they are still trying to help with it.
This is what I feel should happen. I spent $5000 on a computer (my sixth Apple computer in my computer buying history), a lot for a single person as opposed to a company, and then more money to buy the software. I feel very strongly that the tech support should be free and that if the person I speak to doesn't know the answer, he should at least say "I don't know, but I will try to find out for you". I feel that the guys at Sony have gone way beyond the call of duty to try and help me.
I appreciate your interest. Thank you.
Marla.

  • No video when trying to capture PAL dv tape w/Sony HVR-V1U camera

    Hello there,
    Im attempting to Log & Capture a DV tape with "DV SP PAL" content from a Sony HVR-V1U camera using an iLink FireWire.
    I have deck control, timecode, and audio but no video. Instead I see bars for video w/the ominous "preview disabled" band. When I attempt "Capture Now," I receive the follwoing message "this operation could not be completed as there is no video." For Easy Setup, Im currently in "Format: PAL; Use: DV-PAL FireWire Basic" (ive other combinations, and again best I can get is deck control but no video).
    The DV PAL tape plays fine in the camera's LCD screen. Also I had no issue capturing HDV NTSC tapes using the same Sony HVR-V1U camera.
    I've checked my settings and the usual obvious stuff but no luck.
    If anyone has any ideas on what Im doing wrong or things I could try it would be much appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Sam

    are you sure this camera is fully pal compatible?  Some cameras/decks will play back certain formats but will not output via firewire.  Can you shoot PAL with this camera?  If not, I'd guess you can't use it to capture PAL via firewire.  Might check the camera manual.

  • FCP 6.0.5 and Sony HVR-M15U - DV Connection Issue

    My head is hurting at the moment. I cannot get my Sony DV deck to be seen in FCP 6.0.5. I can see the deck as HDV. For DV mode, you have to turn on the iLink conversion. I have set the deck to iLink Set - DV SP. BUT... Final Cut Pro does not see the deck at all.
    Here's the specs:
    Mac Pro (Late 2007) Quad Pro 3.0
    8 gig of matching paired RAM
    FCS 2.0 with all of the latest updates.
    MacOS 10.5.6
    AJA Kona 3 driver version 6.03
    AJA Io driver version 2.01 - disconnected unless needed for capture from older tape decks
    ATI Radeon XT1900 (512 RAM)
    ATTO Celerity FC-42ES fiber channel card
    Quicktime 7.6
    Adobe Creative Suite Premium CS3 (with all updates applied)
    I have checked Apple's tech site and forums, nothing other than removing the old Quicktime receipts and reinstalling Quicktime. I tried this... Still nothing. I tried to use another deck, a Sony HVR-M10U. Nothing!
    Before you say, its the firewire connection in the computer, HDV does work just fine. Its DV that doesn't work. I have used it just fine with Adobe Premier Pro CS3 (DV capture and Export to Tape). Apple's iMovie sees the deck just fine, too. I wish I had an HVR-1500 deck so that I could bypass this issue, but I don't have one.
    What I ended up doing was exporting my sequences from FCP using Quicktime Conversion and setting it to DV Stream. Then I can import my video into Premier Pro CS3 and Export to Tape. Works perfectly.
    If I go back into FCP and try this, I get an error message telling me the firewire connection is not found. My iLink lights on the front of the deck are also off. Its not showing any iLink connection on the deck. Now, when I open Premier Pro, the iLink light comes on for DVCAM.
    Makes you go, hummmmmm........
    HELP!

    >could not get PP CS5 to display the video
    As far as I know (from reading only, I don't do HDV) PPro does not show the video during capture... this is not a bug
    You should (again, reading only) be able to see the video in PPro while simply playing it on the camera and not actually capturing

    Over on the Win side many people use HDVSplit for capturing, but I have no idea what is available for a Mac

  • Can Sony's HVR-M10U deck's playback of HDV 1080i 60i footage be captured?

    Does anyone know definitively if Sony's HVR-M10U playback of HDV 1080i 60i footage can be captured in FCP?

    After a lot of research & trail/error I have successfully captured 1080i 60i footage into FCP 5 using Sony's HVR-M10U deck.

  • Trouble importing HDV mini DV footage from my Sony HVR Z7U into FCP 6.0.6

    Cannot import HDV mini DV footage from my HVR Z7U camcorder into Final Cut Pro
    I can Import the footage as an NTSC 720x480 signal.
    One consistent answer is to make sure that in camcorders menu settings that the IN/OUT REC - iLINK SET is set to off.
    No Luck, no communication with FCP in that mode.
    That being said when cameras ilink is on I can import 740/480 NTSC video, not HDV.
    Here’s where I’m at now
    The video was shot in 1080i 30p onmini DV.  With my Sony HVR Z7U Ican only import the video into FCP as a NTSC 720x480 signal. It looks great butnot in HDV?
    I believe I have tried most every setting in my FCP audio video settings to import the HD footage into FCP. FCPseems to only recognize the camcorder in the NTSC mode.
    Example - In  FCP  Audio /Video Settings
    Sequence Preset - HDV 108030p
    Capture Preset    - HDV
    Device Control     - HDV FireWire Basic
    Video Playback   - Only gives none or NTSC choices(I chose Apple FireWire)
    With the setting above and Sony’s  ilink off- window alert reads…
    “Device is not connected or the capture preset is not set up correctly. You may still log offline clips. This might also happen if you play DV footage in an HDV device.” The camcorder viewer reads the digital footage as 1080i 30p. So it’s not shot in DV footage.
    With the iLink on - I get the same window alert.  Unless I capture in NTSC
    For me FCP will only log and capture the footage when the Capture and Device Control Presets are set to a NTSC format and the camcorder ilink is on. Hence an NTSC 720x480 signal is imported. Not HDV?
    Come on, I know this a common problem and I must be missing something very simple. Please Help! Many thanks.

    Someone mentioned using log and transfer. I use this with all my Compact Flash HD videos. I have found no info for importing HDV from mini DV in log and transfer with a (my) camcorder.

    Gary, this is the Final Cut Pro X forum.  You might try the other forum for FCP. Still, I have the Z5U Sony which is nearly identical to your camera except for the zoom as I recall.  I think we have the same menu system.  I see to recall there is a menu option that sets the output file format.  Also you can set it to record in SD as well as I recall.  I read my files in from tape to FCP X easily ... in high def.  Best wishes.

  • Using a Sony HVR-M25U for video playback

    I know this isn't strictly a Final Cut question. I'm just hoping that some smart Final Cut editor is using the same Sony deck as I use and can help me out. Also, sorry for the length. I've included every detail I thought might be germane.
    Since I started editing HDV I've always used Digital Cinema Desktop Preview for monitoring my edits. I suppose due to a lack of computing power it's never looked very good in motion, though it looks nice and clean when stilled. Today I bought an HDMI cable, hoping to allow me to monitor my work in FCP, sending the video via iLink (FireWire) through my Sony HVR-M25U to my HD monitor.
    Now, I use my HVR-M25U Videocassette recorder deck to log and capture footage in Final Cut Pro. That works fine. I can view video straight off HDV tapes on my High Definition monitor via the HDMI input. That works fine. I can even use the Print to Video function and see the HDV output both in the LCD screen on the front of the deck and on the monitor through the HDMI input. The trouble I'm having is in using the M25U to monitor my editing via iLink.
    In the old days, working with DV, I had a DSR 40 and I was able to use that deck to monitor my FCP output via iLink, taking a component out to my standard def monitor. Is there some reason I can't use this HDV deck the same way? I've tried refreshing A/V devices in Final Cut. I don't see any iLink or Firewire choices in my view menu. I do see a whole list of HDV (1440 x 1080) choices but they're all greyed out. These choices also exist in my Audio/Video Settings screen under "Playback Output" but, again, they are greyed out. Oddly, from having used the Cinema Desktop Preview, I have "Different Output for Edit to Tape/Print to Video" checked and under that pulldown the same eight HDV (1440 x 1080) choices do exist and they are not greyed out. Checked or unchecked, that doesn't change the Playback Output menu.
    I can't see any logical deck settings to adjust. Under "IN/OUT" settings I have "HDV/DV SEL" on Auto, my "Video Out" as 1080i/480i and "i.LINK SET" (the DV down-convert) is off.
    I've also tried shutting down FCP and relaunching and shutting the deck off and firing it back up. I've tried the deck first and then FCP and I've tried the opposite. I also tried restarting. Still nothing.
    If I can feed HDV from the deck into my computer via iLink, shouldn't I be able to feed HDV from my computer to the deck? Like I said, I can record HDV via Firewire to the deck. Shouldn't I be able to see that same HDV output on the deck's LCD screen and also through the deck's HDMI output when editing?
    In case it matters, I'm running FCP 6.06, OS X 10.6.2 on a 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Xeon with 4GB RAM.
    Thanks in advance for anyone who's taken the time to actually read this long question and a special thanks to anyone who might be able to help.

    #25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
    Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
    To view HDV on an external monitor in high definition you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
    The real reason why you can't monitor HDV through a Firewire camera is because Firewire HDV cameras don't decode incoming HDV streams and route them to their outputs like DV cameras do.
    Good options for you are the Matrox MXO2...$500...coupled with an HDTV. Or a Matrox MXO (DVI connection) coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you good quality.
    And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well, and the AJA I/O Express...
    You can, however, view HDV out via firewire as DV...lowering the resolution to that of DV, but still viewable. This is not full quality nor should it be used to judge the quality of your footage or used to color correct to. This is just a way to view the footage on a large monitor.
    Here are some examples of some of the possibilities:
    - DV or HDV sequence output to an SDI signal on a third-party interface
    - An uncompressed NTSC or PAL sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    - An HDV sequence output to a DV FireWire output
    Sequence and output formats must have compatible frame rates. For example,
    sequences with a frame rate of 60, 30, or 24 fps can be output to a 30 fps device,
    but not to a 25 or 50 fps device.

  • Premier + I'm new + Sony HVR V1P = Many questions

    What up y'all?
    I have... several problems. My main one is I have no idea what I'm doing
    I've been self learning the ins and outs of Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects CS5 extended for a little while as my proffession requires me to have a small level of expertise of video editing, and I decided the more I had, the better I would do. Now a friend has asked me to perform a "small" favour and splice some footage of a trip he had to NZ with his Dad. Now I like the guy and owe him a fair bit so I'm looking to go all out.
    First problem, he has a Sony HVR V1P and long story short, it took me 3 weeks and eventually borrowing the camera and all the tapes to get the footage into a usable format.
    Now I've spent the last 3 days editing 8 different compositions, so I figured, time to get the first few into something a bit more manageable. I'm using Media Encoder to export out of Premiere, but have no idea what settings will be best. Eventually I want to to be as high definition as possible, likely on several DVDs, but also in a digital format. I just tried an export to 720p, which is what Premiere has as its default, but I got a lot of jagging throughout the whole clip, and I'm worried that it's going to look that way any time anyone plays it. Right now I'm trying an export as 1920x1080, but my computer only has a 1st gen quad and 6GBs of RAM, so yeah, 4hrs of waiting or so.
    This is a *right click - properties* of one of the clips in the timeline. I'm sure you'll all have a much better idea of how to interpret it.

    Ok, let me rephrase that.
    I don't know what I'm doing in THIS INSTANCE. If people only read the first part of my statement I guess I'm not going to get anywhere, so I'll just be a tad more concise. I've made many videos before, using Premiere, and exported them successfully. This time however, and I have a feeling it's a combination of things, I'm having trouble getting the output right.
    Media Encoder isn't giving me the option of of matching sequence settings which I normally use, and I've used a few different formats of export. .AVI results in poor image quality, what I've heard referred to as "jaggies" or artifacts, and therein lies my first question; is there a way to get rid of these? Secondly, using MPEG2 Blu-ray, I get the resolution that I'm keen on, but it seperates the audio into a .WAV file. Therein the second question, what's a recommended program for combining the two.
    I'm aware of the tutorials, and part of self learning is watching them all. However there isn't a particular one that covers my question, which is why I posted it here.

  • Canon 30i footage not being read by sony HVR V1U

    Hello out there,
    So I have a whack of tapes to import, shot using the Canon XLH1- I'm not sure if they were recorded at 30F or 60i
    However, I can't seem to find the correct 'tape format' on the HVR V1U to play them back.
    Anyone run into this problem?
    I wanted to bring in the footage using the Sony but I can't even play back the tapes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks so much,
    Deedee

    I believe the incompatibility between Canon and Sony may be a tracking issue and here's why. A couple of weeks ago I was able to capture HDV footage shot on a client's XL-H1, using my Sony HVR V1U. Last year that same client had unsuccessfully tried to capture using an HVR-M10U VTR. We wound up using the H1 to capture. Later in the year I borrowed his H1 to shoot some pickups in Standard Definition DV. When I tried to playback on my DSR-1500 there were picture and sound errors. The same tape played in a DSR-11 exhibited even more errors. I was able to playback and capture from on the H1 with no problems. I suggested that he send the H1 back to Canon for warranty repair. He did and the problem was in either the tape or head drum speed, I can't remember which. It seems quite reasonable that other H1's may exhibit the same recording issue. I suggest you try to record in DV and see if the V1U or some other DV deck will play it back.

  • FCP 6 and Sony HVR-V1U 24p; can't remove 3:2 pulldown or convert to 24 fps

    Hi, all, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I recently purchased a Sony HVR-V1U HD camera that has a native 24p setting (using 60i with 3:2 pulldown to store on miniDV tape).
    I have just started experimenting with pulling footage off this camera into Final Cut Pro (6.0.3), and am having some problems getting things to work using log-and-capture. Specifically, it seems I can either choose the ProRes 422 setting and effectively use a "capture now" capturing method--which gets me native 24 (or 23.98 if 24pa is used) frames per second--or I can use the 60i setup--which gets me the standard log-and-capture window where I can actually log my clips, but brings them in at 29.97 fps.
    I would make due with the 60i setting since that allows me to batch capture clips I want from my footage... however, I am not able to alter the frame rate or remove the 3:2 pulldown using cinema tools (I get a "unable to find clips with 29.97 fps" error, when the properties clearly list the clips as having 29.97 fps).
    Can anyone help here? I'm quite accustomed to using the log and capture window so the "capture now" method seems very inconvenient; but if I can't get the clips transcoded to 24fps somehow I'm not sure what else I can do.
    Thanks in advance!
    John

    Capturing HDV uses a somewhat different workflow than regular DV and other I Frame formats (if that is what you have been used to so far).

  • Will Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (PAL) work with iMovie 6.0.3

    Hi
    I'm about to make a short film and have the possibility of hiring the Sony HVR-Z1E HDV Cam (http://www.sonybiz.net/biz/view/ShowProduct.action?product=HVR-Z1E&site=bizenGB&pageType=Overview&category=HDVCamcorders) for the shoot.
    Has anyone here used a camera like this with iMovie HD 6.0.3? Can iMovie import the footage and edit it?
    Or should I immediately be thinking of Final Cut Studio or Final Cut Express?
    Cheers

    "..I'd only be able to use the DV shoot mode on the cam ... But you say it works well?!.."
    Perfectly: if you shoot in HDV, iMovie HD converts the incoming HDV footage into Apple's Intermediate Codec "on-the-fly" (..it converts the MPEG-2 HDV into a form which iMovie can handle, retaining all the extra detail of hi-def..) and that's what iMovie edits.
    You can then send your edited movie back out to a clean tape in the camera, and it's converted back to the "native" HDV format as it's exported from iMovie.
    At present, hi-def DVDs can be made only by using Apple's DVD Studio Pro (expensive) software, which burns hi-def onto normal DVDs ..but they're playable only on a Mac, not on an ordinary DVD player.
    So if you want to keep everything as hi-def when you've finished, send it back to tape, and not to iDVD (..which will knock it down to standard-def when creating a DVD from your hi-def iMovie project..)
    Because a huge amount of processing is needed for converting incoming HDV into AIC in 'real time' (..and the faster the Mac processor, and more RAM, the better..) your G4 will NOT be able to import in real time.
    You may also get occasional - temporary - glitches, in that the sound of some clips may seeem to be running slow, and be low-pitched, after importing. This is an artifact of slower-than-real-time importing, and if you quit from iMovie after importing, then restart the program (thereby clearing memory caches in your Mac), clips should play normally.
    Any rendering - dissolves, titles and other F/X - will take longer than with standard DV, as there's more data per frame to be manipulated. Straight cuts should be OK.
    "..an issue with the Firewire 600 port.." ..There's FireWire 400 and 800, but maybe "600" was a slip of your keyboard..
    "..a lead with a four pin firewire camera plug on one end and a Firewire 800 plug on the other. Works perfectly well for the Handycam. I wonder if it'll do the trick for this bigger beast?.." ..It's never worked for me! (..Maybe I've used a badly-wired cable or two..) ..I couldn't get a 4-pin-to-9-pin (FW800) cable to work, ever, with any normal 'consumer' Handycam ..nor with the FX1.
    ..But you seem to have got it to work, so it may work with the Z1 after all.
    "..I'm hiring so there are limits.." ..Don't forget to download the instruction manual (..when you're ready, click to download it as a .pdf here..)
    [NOTE: That's for the US/International version: I can't find the European (E suffix) manual at the moment, but I'm sure you can if you Google a bit. There's very little difference between them. You'll want to choose and use 1080i/50 (UK-PAL), not 1080i/60 (US-NTSC).]
    Note that - I don't know what you're shooting - you can set up focus and zoom transitions before you actually shoot them; so if you need a smooth zoom from close to distant, while changing focus, too.. instead of just pressing the zoom button and relying on the autofocus to get it right, you can pre-select start zoom and focus settings, and end zoom and focus settings, then press the 'Do-It!' button, and the camera will handle the changes as pre-programmed ..while you're busy slow-panning, for instance.
    For more of a "film look" you can also use one of the built-in Neutral Density filters ..but as that opens up the aperture wider, focus becomes more critical: hence the usefulness of the pre-set focus and zoom.
    I normally shoot always at a shutter speed of one fiftieth, and never let the camera choose automatically. I find this gives -s-m-o-o-t-h- action, but also provides a good range of apertures, too.
    Be sure that you get a big spare battery with it, unless you're shooting near to mains power. The standard battery lasts - as with most cameras - about only 40-45 mins, so be sure to get several, or one really big capacity batt.
    Shoot and replay your tests before the actual shoot, so that you're sure the hired camera has clean heads, with no 'mosaic' drop-out on the tapes.
    Er, can't think of anything else ..going to watch 'Murder She Wrote' now..

  • How to capture HD/SD in Premiere Pro 2.0 using Sony HVR-M15U?

    I have mini dv tapes.Some are HDs and SDs. How to capture these tapes in Premiere Pro 2.0 using Sony HVR-M15U deck?
    Please help
    Mark

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for the respond.
    Yes, I tried already that way but it didn't work. The deck plays. I saw also in the monitor I connected to the deck has display. But it's not in Premiere Pro 2.0. I only saw the timecode running but it has no display. And I tried to save what I'm capturing but it says no frame captured if I not mistaken.
    Fortunately, I did captured the video by "passthrough" - I mean by using the videocamera. I connected the videocamera to INPUT ports of the deck. And the firewire connected to my PC and the deck. I played the tape of course in the videocamera and begun capturing with no problem. But I think I lost the quality of the video, did I?
    Jim, if you have some tips can you share it to me. I will appreciate it so much.
    Thanks again.

  • Windows 7 not showing Sony HVR-MRC1K device in Windows Explorer

    Hi,
    The Sony HVR-MRC1K is a memory recording device that attaches to Sony video cameras and records onto CompactFlash cards.  When connecting this device (via Firewire) to my computer, the device can be seen under "Devices and Printers", but I cannot see the device on Windows Explorer or My Computer, hence I cannot pull video files off the card onto my computer.
    The device works fine under Windows XP, and Windows Vista x64, but not Windows 7 RC x64.
    If I am doing something wrong or there is another way to view the files on this device, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi guys,
    Just wanted to mention, this is not the same issue as the video capture problem that Windows 7 seems to have with some Camcorders.  The second poster on this thread (Nano Warp) thought it might be related and posted a link to another thread.
    The MRC-1K is a memory recording unit that records onto CompactFlash cards.  When connected to a computer via 1394 (FireWire), it acts as a hard disk drive device - Windows should allocate it a drive path/letter and should be able to access data on the card.  It works under previous versions of Windows but Windows 7 recognizes the device as an AV/C tape recorder/player and does not allocate it a drive path/letter.
    I thought maybe I could manually change the driver to whatever Vista 64 uses for this device but I'm not sure which driver it uses.  If anyone has any idea, please let us know.
    Anyone else having a similar issue with a HDD type device being recognized as something different by Win 7? 
    Thanks.

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

  • HVR-M10E / HVR-M10U and FCP compatibility

    Greetings,
    I'm sorry to ask this but I can't seem to open the apple link that could give me the answer.
    I've heard of several issues concerning the compatibility between sony's HVR-M10E deck and Final Cut.
    Before buying the deck, i would like to make sure with you guys that FCP 5 now works fluidly with the deck, and that there is an appropriate preset. And what about FCP 4.5?
    Most of the editing i'll be doing will be in PAL/
    I've been told that FCP has trouble with the HVR-M10E, and works fine with the HVR-M10U. Sounds odd. Anyone know the difference between thest two decks?
    Thanks for your time...
    Tee.

    Hi Tee,
    I've just gotten back from a trip to Asia. The deck I rented over there was M10E. I had no problem at all, but I used it with FCP 5. I know FCP HD 4.5 has no HDV setting, this is a problem.
