DSR-45 won't output Video to FCP 4.5

Video shows on the deck but not on the FCP/capture window. Time code runs and deck control works fine. We have uninstalled and reinstalled everything with no changes. 4.5 used to work until an attempt to upgrade to 5.1, which didn't work at all. We trashed all Preferences and remnants of 5.1 Thanks in advance for any help!!

Just for grins, try to capture a short clip in iMovie.
If that works it would appear you have a slightly bunged QT install. Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
This is how:
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

  • Macintosh IIsi won't output video

    I recently got my hands on a Macintosh IIsi that refuses to boot, I get the startup tone, the hard drive spins, and the indecator lights light up but it won't output video. I have tried multiple monitors and different display adapters without success. I want to know what the next step to fixing it

    zmclearan,
    Are you using a PC monitor and adapters or do you have access to an original Mac monitor?  When you say that it refuses to boot, is it just that you can not see the startup screen?  How long does the hard drive noise last?
    The next step is the process of elimination.  Check the PRAM battery first.  A dead battery will affect the video circuit in many machines.  Look online for batteries with free shipping.  If you go to Radio Shack, they will have replacement batteries that cost more than the computer.
    A way to avoid buying a battery is to do what is called a "warm boot."  You start the computer, listen for the chime, give it ten seconds, then hold down the command key + control key + the soft power key (the key at the top right hand of the keyboard or top center on some smaller keyboards).  If you hear the chime again then it restarted.  This gives the computer a fresh start with power supplied by the wall power and not the battery power.  For newer computers, you turn the computer on at the power button, turn it off and back on immediately.  That will wake up the video circuit on a Quadra 605 or a 6100 PPC.  I do not remember ever needing to do that on an 030 processor computer so the on-off-on trick may only be for the power supplies in the 605 form factor.
    If you can find a PDS to NUBUS adapter you could test to see if the onboard video is bad by using a NUBUS video card.  The IIsi uses built in RAM so it will not be a video RAM problem.  How much RAM do you have?  The chime means that you have some form of RAM.  Incommpatible RAM or no RAM will result in a sad musical sound.
    Your best alternative for testing older computers is to find a Mac user group in your area.  Someone will have spare parts, monitors and other resources.  Your video adapter may not be properly configured and the easiest way to test that is on another machine that you know works with your monitor.  Unfortunately, buying the battery is just a gamble.  It that does not fix it, you have just spent good money on a bad motherboard problem.  Post back with the name of a city near you and maybe we can find a user group to help out with parts.

  • Wanto output video from FCP to tv-monitor..

    I've been searching for an answere in this forum aswell as PD150 forums..
    Please help, I think of myself as a logical person but just can't figure this one out.
    I try to output the video signal from FCP to a tv-monitor usin a Sony PD150 in the middle.
    That is; Firewire from my G4 into my camera, s-video to scart into my monitor.
    I've been fiddeling with the camera settigs but found nothing that indicates signal in/out or likewise.
    I know that this isn't a PD150 forum but i thought I could find someone experienced here.
    Thanks for answeres in advanced, Erik

    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • My FCE won't output video

    My FCE just recently started to do this. I have my system running through a midi interface which is connected to montiors (speakers) in my studio. Now I can't get my FCE audio to come out of my speakers. I can hear evertyhing wlse including itunes and the bleeps when I raise and lower the volume on my Mac. As of right now the audio is going to my DV camcorder which is connected to my TV monitor. I can hear the sound through the TV but when I try to switch it to "Canvas playback" it won't switch over though it says is has? Help!!!

  • Advice on sequence settings - frame size for VHS video in FCP

    Hello,
    I was hoping that I could get some advice on editing and output for video captured from VHS Tapes to ensure the best quality possible.
    My current workflow to digitize the VHS tapes is:
    VHS signal from JVC S7600u with TBC into ADVC 300 (no de-interlace or other filters set) into a Mac Pro via firewire.  Capture preset in FCP is DV NTSC 48khz.
    Once in FCP - the captured VHS video frame size is 720 X 480, Vid rate is 29.97, pixel aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601 and field dominance is lower (even)
    My questions are:
    If my final destination is for You Tube sharing , are these the best sequence/ frame size settings or should I convert the sequence frame size to 640 X 480, or should I leave at 720 X 480 while working in FCP and then output to Compressor and select the H264 you tube sharing video setting and change the frame size to 640 X 480? 
    Should I de- interlace for internet/youtube destination?
    Should I de-interlace for DVD/TV destination?
    If I want to burn the finished project to DVD and watch the video on a progressive montitor/ TV screen, what would be the best settings/frame size for that?
    If any of you out there have experience with editing vcr/analog video in FCP and have a good workflow to ensure best quality, I would really appreciate  any advice/suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Digitize to 720X480 frame size in FCP. In compressor, your YouTube preset will automatically deinterlace and a square pixel aspect ratio.No deinterlacing for DVD.

  • Can't output video to Firewire via Canopus..

    Hi all,
    All of a sudden today, I am not able to output video via Firewire to my Canopus ADVC-110 with Final Cut Pro 6. I do however have video output when using programs like Logic, so the Canopus appears to be working fine. I checked the Audio/Video settings in FCP and have Firewire as Video playback, but no output is going to my monitor. What settings do I need to be looking at, in FCP. It's clearly something I did, and would like to correct it, so I can monitor video again. Please advise.
    Also...one other note, I can't seem to playback video through Firewire in Soundtrack Pro as well. But Logic Pro plays vide through the firewire device just fine. Anyone have any insite on this? Thanx in advance....

    Make sure the light is in the DV mode...press the big button a couple times to make sure. Also make sure you didn't switch to PAL mode from NTSC or something. AND...
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.

  • Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

    I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
    My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
    Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
    Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!
    junroe

    Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

  • ["SOLVED"] PulseAudio - some applications won't output sound sometimes

    So, I have KDE 4 and PulseAudio installed, with VLC as Phonon's backend software.
    After startup, I often find that Skype won't output sound at all for seemingly random periods of time. This also often happens (sometimes simultaneously, but not necessarily) to Chromium. Pavucontrol and the KDE audio mixer, don't show anything useful at all in terms of the output of Skype and Chromium, and messing with master output in Pavucontrol doesn't affect anything.
    After a completely random period of time (usually a very long period of time), these applications start outputting sound again. It's very frustrating, and restarting the applications doesn't help whatsoever. While these two applications are affected, all other applications output sound perfectly.
    I don't even know. I've searched, but I haven't found any similar problems documented elsewhere. Any advice?
    EDIT: Solved, for now.

    I fixed it (for now, at least!)
    I ran the below command:
    $ cat /proc/asound/cards
    0 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
    USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
    1 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
    HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
    2 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
    HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
    Basically, my USB webcam, which also acts as a microphone, was being treated as my default sound card. I changed this by creating a file in /etc/modprobe.d with the following:
    options snd-hda-intel index=0
    Which set my real sound card as default:
    $ cat /proc/asound/cards
    0 [MID ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel MID
    HDA Intel MID at 0xf9ff8000 irq 47
    1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
    HDA NVidia at 0xfbd7c000 irq 17
    2 [U0x46d0x804 ]: USB-Audio - USB Device 0x46d:0x804
    USB Device 0x46d:0x804 at usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2, high speed
    The problem isn't ENTIRELY fixed. Skype's still being a bit buggy, but at least Chromium is now playing sound, including in Flash media. Strangely enough, after playing a Flash video (e.g. on YouTube), Skype's sound seems to fix itself if it's defunct.

  • Outputing video from the MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro

    Hi
    I wounder if there is a BlackMagic card that can be connected to the new MacBook Pro - with FW or with ExpressCard 3/4.
    I want to output video signal from Final Cut Pro to an external monitor, and to capture footage into the FCP.
    Thanks

    Ditto-- I need to know the same thing. i want to view hd video from final cut on an external monitor. Does someone have an answer?

  • Camtasia videos in FCP

    I'm creating QT screenshots in Camtasia that I am importing into FCP so that I can add additional video and audio. The problem is that the video renders blurred. It looks great in QT before the FCP transormation. I've tried several things such as adjusting the output size in FCP to match the original video that was created in Camtasia. The final output will be a flash video which COULD be created directly in Camtasia, however I'm limited with what Cam can do. Is anyone else doing this or can anyone share some ideas?

    There's probably a couple of issues here.
    What were your capture settings in Camtaisia? 320x240? 640x480? or the whole screen? Also, what codec was it using to capture? I think the normal is a Microsoft Video codec, which is basically a version of windows media. Thats probably your issue. You basically need to match the settings of the camtaisia capture with your timeline settings. If it is possible, set camtasia up to capture 720x480 DV/NTSC images at 29.97 frames per second. It will take some processing power on your computer, but that will give you what you need if you are editing in DV Mode. If you can't do that, try changing your sequence settings to whatever the camtasia capture settings are. If that is smaller than 720x480 at a more compressed codec, it will look blurred/pixelated if you try to export it to a DVD or other format that has a higher resolution.
    Hope that makes sense,
    Chris

  • Problem with Print to Video in FCP 6.0

    In the past I have been able to print to video with FCP 5, now not working with FCP 6. My Sony HVR A1U is seen by FCP, I can log & capture no problem. When I go to print to video, the sequence does not show up on my camera LCD and I cannot capture it. I have checked the system profiler and under firewire the camera is listed. In the print to video window I have checked Automatically Start Recording, but this has no effect.
    Thank you for your advice

    Just curious. How do you get your computer too see the HVR. I am using I movie HD and it does not see anything. Is there a camera setup procedure? I looked at the vague manual which was no help.
    Thanks in Advance

  • HELP about analog output video

    Hello, I´m need help about analog output video in Premiere CS5 using Matrox RTX2. I need to crop a video with resolution in 1440x1080 to 4:3 in output analog. But what happens is wrong (I think). My video is in format anamorphic and the other option is 16:9 letterbox. Is there any way to crop the video without using effects. Thanks a Lot and sorry my bad english (my native language is Portuguese).

    There are no 4:3 HD specifications.  You'll have to put the video into a normal SD sequence, and scale it down till the top and bottom of the video meet the frame.  That way the sides will be cut off.
