Help please!  asap

Hello, I am a new Final Cut Pro user I need need serious help with Capturing my video. I don't know what to set the capture settings to. I tried a few different things but my video either captures out of sync or the process stops every 2 seconds to search for time code breaks. I have a Panasonic PV-GS80 camera, I have Sony DVC tapes and a basic FireWire cable. Can someone please help me set this thing up correctly?

I also have a Panasonic PV-GS80 and am unable to log and capture video onto FCP. I have tried restarting my computer, unplugging everything, changing easy setup...I'm totally lost! Everything looks right but I still can't get the computer to find the device. Every time I try log and capture I get "unable to initialize video deck". I called Apple and they told me that this device is not supported by FCP...but I have used this camera on it before! One thing, when I check external video>all frames, the whole screen goes black. I can find my menu and use other programs but when I select FCP, black again. I hit command+F12 and it goes back to normal, but then checks off>external video. I pretty sure this is at the heart of my problems but I don't know what to do.
I even thought about doing FCP Rescue, but everytime I go to download I get "This page cannot be found". The forces are working against me! Please help!!!!!

  • Can't use 7.6, can't downgrade, need help, please ASAP

    I have tried to use 7.6; it opens the iTunes, window then just sits and spins. When I force quit, everything freezes and I must unplug to restart. I have reinstalled, to no avail.
    I've tried to download an older version from oldapps.com and get as far as where to install the software; then it says there are 0 bytes to install. The next window gives me a list of files but they are disabled, so I can go no further.
    I am afraid to lose my entire library; I figured I could save/copy it somehow, uninstall iTunes and start over, but I don't know how to do any of this, or if any of this will solve the problem. I'd take just about any older version of iTunes at this point, as long as I can import and burn CD's and sync up my iPod; I am going out of town in a week and I need my music!
    Please help ASAP--Thanks!

    hi BeeNatural,
    in your Music/iTunes folder you will find two files (iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library). you should spare a copy of these files since they are containing your playlist, rating, etc. and you should be safe. still, it is a good practice to also have a backup of all your songs files which are in your iTunes Music folder just in case something happen.
    I'm not familiar with dowgrading since I do not beleive in this option more than trying to solve what is happening with the current version unless very special circumstances.
    could you be a little more specific first about the OS version you are running and your hardware to verify if you meet the minimum requirements for iTunes 7.6? you need at least 10.3.9, G3 500MHz, 256Mg of RAM.

  • Need help with imovie photos extension. I am not able to view the editing tools no matter what I do!!!! Help please ASAP

    I Have read a lot of tutorials or whatever but Im not able to view the editing tools from imovie in the photos app. I have tried the trimmer thing and the yellow outline does appear but the only options available are "play, trim or cancel". I really really want to use the filters and stuff so please help me if you can!
    Thanks!

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • Startup Disk Full? Help please asap!

    Hello, I've been getting warnings that my startup disk was almost full. Today though, instead of it saying "startup disk is almost full", it has been saying "Startup Disk Is Full". I've gotten maybe five warnings today, and still haven't solved the problem. I've been deleting files from my Finder as well, and photos from the iPhoto Library I believe, and it hasn't done anything. I am aware that my startup disk is completely full, and that it may not start up properly.
    Please help? Step by step instructions would be appreciated! Thank you in advanced.

  • Ipod not showing up on itunes?? Help please ASAP.

    I am having some problems with my nano. I plug it into my computer and go to itunes. My ipod does not show up, and I can't charge or sync it. This has never happened before...
    Please Help!

    I just started having the same problem, also. I plug in the IPod, and my computer tells me that the IPod USB Driver "has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP" (whatever that means). I tried, for hours, using the tips provided by Mac (e.g. the 5 R's, and re-installing the driver) to no success. If anyone can provide help, it would be much appreciated.
    This problem literally started today. (I even tried re-installing ITunes to no avail!)

  • Macbook permission issues-Help please asap...

    On my macbook there are no issues with administrator but with a normal user account there are. It started a couple of days ago and since I have tried all sorts of stuff but nothing works.
    Basically I cannot save an image when I click on the option 'save image as...' I can only use the option 'save to downloads' when I try 'save image as..' this error comes up...
    "The document “kate0802_302x322.jpg” could not be exported as “kate0802_302x322”. You don’t have permission. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
    Also I cannot take any screenshots and this error somes up...
    "Your screen shot can’t be saved. You don’t have permission to save files in the location where screen shots are stored."
    Furthermore I cannot save documents this error appears...
    "The document “Untitled” could not be exported as “work”. The file “/Users/Saira/Desktop/work.doc” couldn’t be found."
    I have checked all the "get info.." sections and I have permission to read and write I also tried restarting the macbook as well as strating it up in safe mode but it still doesn't change the same errors appear. However this problem is only on one user and not on the administrator account or any other general users. So now I literally cannot do anything and I've tried and checked verything I know. Can anyone help me solve this annoying problem?

  • First time to blue ray help please Asap

    Hi,
    Firstly - I have been asked to export a HD project fit for blue ray and since I have had no experience working with blue ray in the past, I thought I'd ask here just to be sure.
    Project is HD 1080i50 in FCP. I have been asked to provide a Apple HDV 1080i50, 1440x1080 (1888x1062) file.
    Please advise me on what settings to export (ie. via compressor, and if so, what preset do I select?)
    I have FCP 7
    Compressor 3.5
    I know it may seem stupid but want to make sure.

    All that has been instructed to me is to provide is:
    Apple HDV 1080i50, 1440x1080 (1888x1062)
    Been also advised to export via compressor and choose h.264 for blue ray preset. Although, this takes over 24 hours to do just 25 mins on my imac so you can imagine how long it would take to do a 1 hr 20 min export (also required).
    Conflicting answers given... quicktime 1080i50 export or pro res?
    Clarification needed please. For example, if you were given the above file format instruction, how would u do it?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Your iPod has the Screen Lock enabled.
    Connect the iPod to the computer as you would to normally update/add songs to your iPod. When the iPod is seen by iTunes, iTunes should unlock the iPod. When iTunes is done updating the iPod, the iPod should be unlocked.
