Cannot get log and capture to work

I have a JVC HD-GR1 camera and I am trying to log and capture my video using the 4 pin-9 pin firewire cable. It states that it is not recognizing the JVC camera. So I tried it in iMovie, it recognized the JVC camera but it was just a blue screen with a time code. What really confused me is that the computer will controll the camera (in iMovie) rewinding, fastforwarding and playing the video on the JVC Camera, but on the iMac it is still a blue screen on the log and capture video. Any ideas?

  • Log and capture not working with Apple intermediate Codec

    Hi,
    I just got my copy of Final Cut Pro 6.
    I'm trying to capture HDV footage using the apple intermediate codec, but when I try to open the log and capture window, it just comes up with a window saying 'HDV capture', but with no logging options at all. It just captures from that point onwards from the tape.
    Tom

    You need a video IO card to transcode the signal to another format on capture - you're just connecting the camera via Firewire, yes?
    (Incidentally, even if you could get this work, AIC is almost certainly the 'wrong' codec for whatever you're doing. What's your worklow reason for choosing that format? And finally - are you really running OSX 10.3.9? You need to be on 10.4.9 to run FCS2)

  • Skype is downloaded but cannot get speaker and camera to work

    skype is downloaded to new iPad but speaker and camera not working

    It works for me using normal Swing so the bug is in the ACM classes.
    GraphicsProgram -> JPanel and add main method
    GLabel -> JLabel and setString to setText
    run -> as constructor and use the default flow layout instead of the 50, 50 size
    Cleanup (not needed to fix):
    Derive font instead of new.
    Removed unused MouseListener.
    Moved MouseMotionListener to anonymous adapter.
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TestMouseMotion extends JPanel {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
                    frame.getContentPane().add(new TestMouseMotion());
                    frame.pack();
                    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                    frame.setVisible(true);
        public TestMouseMotion() {
            final JLabel label = new JLabel("This gets overwritten once mouse moves");
            label.setFont(label.getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD, 36));
            add(label);
            addMouseMotionListener(new MouseInputAdapter() {
                @Override

  • Qosmio X505: Cannot get HDMI and VGA to work simultaneously

    but it wont working on my montior.
    Any help would be good plz and ty

    Recommend checking this Toshiba document.
    +*Is it possible to use two external monitors on a Qosmio X500?*+
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB13033Y0000R01.htm
    Yes, it is possible.
    Connect the VGA and the HDMI monitor to the related connectors. Now you can use the key combination FN + F5 to activate both monitors.
    Choose "HDMI + CRT Extended Desktop". The internal display will turn of.
    Note: All three displays (two external and the internal one) can not be activated simultaneously.

  • Cannot log and capture!!

    hi,
    for some wierd reason i cannot seem to log and capture from my Canon XM2 anymore, and has only been actin up recently. bought new firewire 4-6pin, camera and cable works fine from my college's mac pro.
    basically, sometimes when i try the log and capture, bottom reads "vtr ok" and i can operate the camera - but only for a few seconds! then it changes to "no communication". other times i'm not even lucky to get this far; fcp won't read the device.
    Checked system profile, it reads my camera plugged in... but i still have my suspicions the firewire port may be blown
    is it possible the new 6.0.3 update may have caused this capturing problem? it seems to be working fine before i updated...
    anyone recommend i reinstall FCP6?
    any help is seriously appreciated as i need to get this up and running urgently for an assignment..
    Thnx
    OptikroniX
    FCP 6.0.3
    Canon XM2
    MBP 17"

    no i don't, just the camera.
    also.. i've tried capturing in Quicktime and seemed fine. then it stopped working after a while. thats also hit and miss at times :S
    i tried time machine. to replace fcp 6.0.3 with 6.0.2... however other files from the pro kit 2008-1 update are too new for FCP to run properly..
    is there a way to reverse the update?

  • Log and Capture suddenly stopped working

    I encountered a strange issue today, I have a Cannon HF 200 and it created .MTS files when I record my video, I usually insert the SD card and than select log and capture from FCP7 and convert all my videos..but now when I insert my card and select log and capture, the card does not load and I cannot see any of the clips..which is very odd
    I even trashed the preferences but to no avail
    Any help guys??

    I have also un-intalled and then re-installed FCP7< </div>
    Why do people keep doing that? Macintosh software just doesn't work that way.
    You probably turned the camera off before the software had completed the write to the card or you may have set the camera to record in a weird format or used the wrong drive setting. Try pluging the card into a PC? Have you tried the Canon users' forums? When you search for them, you will want to spell the brand correctly.

  • Can't get camera to play for log and capture.

    Please help. I am in the middle of a huge project and I am stumped. I literally could log and capture without issue last night. Today, I can rewind and fast forward with log and capture, but when I press "PLAY" I get the spinning beach ball.
    I have been using FCP for years (currently FCP 5.0). I am connected to a SONY TRV 18. I tried switching the camera out. I have restarted, trashed prefs, reinstalled FCP, tried the "Quicktime fix", and repaired permissions.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Glad it spontainiously corrected itself. If it happens again and you did not do a QT/OSX upgrade, you might try the FCP Rescue path.
    Click Here, select the appropriate version of FCP Rescue (4 for FCP4.x - 5 for FCP5.x), download it, expand it and select TRASH.
    This will delete your FCP preference files that might have become corrupted.
    good luck.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I'm in the UK and I cannot get the speech recognition to work in Google Translate

    I'm in the UK and I cannot get the speech recognition to work in Google Translate.
    Anyone else having the same problem, not sure if it's my ipad 2 or the software's problem?
    It keeps saying "Speech recognition not available.  Check network or try again."
    All my other apps work fine through Wifi and and Google Search and Chrome works fine through speech recognition.  Strange.

    is this a 3rd party application?

  • Unable to Log and Capture AND make FCP a boot disk

    I am unable to go into Log and Capture mode in FCP 4. I can capture from firewire using I movie just fine so I know the sytem works. The minute I open Log and Capture from within FCP (with the JVC Mini-DV camera hooked up thru Firewire), it crashes. Help. I upgraded from FCP 3 to FCP 4 a couple years ago and it hasn't worked right since. Would re-installing the FCP 4 upgrade work? Also, my system works very sluggish. Please explain to me how I would make the veersion of FCP 4 my boot disk. I realize that I can't have the FCP 4 application and the media on the same drive but is there a way to partition one of my drives and make FCP one of the startup disks? Hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks.

    First off, FCP 4 was darn unstable. FCP 4.5 is a free upgrade and is STILL the most stable version out there. FCP 5 is getting there.
    Secondly, try:
    Shane's Stock Tip Mantra: If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the appropriate version of FCP Rescue at http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/ and run it.
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    As for partitioning the hard drive, that isn't necessary. Hasn't been since FCP 3.

  • Log and capture problems for HDV using FCP 5.0.1

    I cant seem to get a picture in my log and capture browser when using HDV. The screen says my camera is connected, I see timecode correctly rolling in sync with my cameras timecode, I can use the controls, but no picture on the screen?
    When I hit capture now, the capture screen pops up and gives a message "waiting for data from device".
    we shot at 720p at 25fps, there is no capture preset for this in my version of FCP. Could this be the problem? Please help!!

    Thanks for responding.
    It's a mac osx 10.4.11 and a 2 ghz intel core duo. I'm using easy set up in final cut pro, but there is no option for hd fire wire basic (which apple support told me to look for). The only hd options are 1080i50, i60 and 720 p30. The other hd options are for the apple intermediate codec. When I use the easy set up for hd 1080i60, then go to log and capture, it doesn't give me the preview window to set in's out, batch capture etc. It only lets me capture straight from the camera and I have to manually stop it and start it which is a major pain. Plus the clips need to be rendered once I put them in a timeline. I've shot and edited on mini dv with final cut for nearly 7 years, but now that i've tried to upgrade and shoot hd mini dv, all of these problems have arrived in capturing. I'm starting to think my version of final cut pro (5.0.1) just doesn't work with hd, unless it's very time consuming. Any ideas?
