How can i get final cut see my camera to import video?

my final cut is not seeing my camera to import video? help me?

First, with the camera connected via firewire to your mac, go to applications:  utilities:  system profiler and make sure the firewire is showing the camera.   If not, it's possible the firewire port is burned out on the camera or on the computer.  You can also try swatting out  the firewire cable. 
HDV is always a little tricky.  Make sure your easy setup matches your shooting format.  If I remember correctly, the camera may shoot some formats that are not compatible with capturing in fcp.  You can usually display the shooting format in the cameras lcd format.  Let us know what it is.
When you've matched the fcp easy setup to the format you've shot,  quit final cut, start the camera playing with a video signal, and then launch fcp and start log and capture and see if the camera is recognized and if there's video in the log and capture  window.

  • TS2521 How can I get Final Cut Pro 7?

    I would like to get Final Cut Pro 7. Is this possible? If so, does the Studio version have motion, etc.?

    Motion and Compressor are separate. 
    And know, that FCP-X is unlike FCP 7 in just about every way possible.  The way it works is vastly different. And you cannot open FCP 7 or 6 projects in it without buying a 3rd party converter.
    Now, I hear many people like it...I just wanted you to know that it is VERY different from FCP 7

  • How can i get my Imac, running OSX 10.6.8 with a 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, how can i get Final Cut Pro 4 and DVD studio pro 2 to run on it?

    I just bought an IMAC running OSX 10.6.8 (not sure what flavor that is). The processor is 2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (Late 2006). When i run Final Cut Pro 4 on it I get the following error.
                        "Configuration error
                           This software requires certain hardware or software which is missing
                                    * AGP graphics Card"
    If Final Cut Pro 4 doesn't run on my system, what version of Final Cut can I run on this as I am a filmmaker and really am comfortable with Final Cut Pro.
    On the same note I also have DVD studio Pro 2 and that just quits without any message.
    Hope any of you can be some help.
    Thank you,
    Doug

    This is my first mac in a long time so i'm not sure about what this mac is as i didn't buy this from apple (ala Amazon). I'm a tad confused about the Intel/PowerPC thing. I do know the software version for sure, but the Intel/PowerPC is very confusing. I just need to find someone who would know about this question. It doesn't say G5 on this computer. Thats my biggest confusion. Help Me...

  • How can I get Final Cut 7 to remember my customized keyboard layout?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to this community, my name is Flavio, from Argentina.
    I'm on a Mac Book Pro Intel Core Duo 2, using Final Cut 7 and I'm using a customized keyboard layout (1 for zoom in, 2 for zoom out), but everytime I launch the application I have to go to Tools>Keyboard Layout to change it, is there a way to tel the ap to launch that layout almays?
    Thanks!

    It works for me without doing anything special.  You might try deleting your fcp preferences
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
    If that doesn't solve it, describe exactly what your doing to customize the keyboard. 
    I assume if you do a "save keyboard layout" from the tools menu: keyboard layout  after customizing the keyboard and then load keyboard layout after relaunching fcp, that at least works.

  • I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camera and can't get Final Cut Pro x to recognize it. Any suggestions?

    How can I get Final Cut ProX to recognize my Canon Vixia HV30 camera?

    Does your Mac have a FW 800 port? If it does, use a 4 pin to 9 pin connection. If you have only Thunderbolt, use a FW>Tb adaptor. Either way, your Mac should see the camera. If it does, so will FCP.

  • I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook.  I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2  but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

    I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook.  I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2  but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
    How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

    Hi,
    you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
    First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
    It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
    If you hit a snag talk back to me.
    Cheers.

  • My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility.  How can I get it to see the drive?

    My iMac does not see the new Toshiba external drive in Finder or Disk Utility.  How can I get it to see the drive?

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter  
    and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
    If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
    Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
    Try a different cable.
    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
    Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive is malfunctioning.

    how do i get final cut pro x to recognize my time capsule in event library?

    Yeah I'm getting the same issue.  I purchased a new Mac Mini yesterday purely to use the new FCPX, and now on day 1 I'm already running into problems... please don't make me switch to Premiere.
    Set up the computer with external yesterday, never set anything to Time Machine.  Here's a screenshot of the drive, formatted on Mac OS Extended (Journaled):
    And here's a screenshot of FCPX not recognizing the drive:
    Apple please respond to this post, would really appreciate some help here troubleshooting. 

  • Can't get Final Cut to recognize my camera.

    I have a Canon VIXIA HF11 High def video camera and I can't get Final Cut Pro to recognize it. I don't have a firewire connection on the camera. It is a USB 2.0. I assume this is the root of the problem. iMovie recognizes the camera and imports the files. Does anyone know of a way to get the files into Final Cut? Thanks!

    Might I suggest a training DVD
    http://www.classondemand.net/media/final-cut-training/fcp7.aspx
    This is an AVCHD camera. You need to use the log and transfer function with the correct settings. You should not use iMovie for capture as it captures in an older codec that's not very good. In FCP7 you can capture in ProRes or ProRes LT, both of which are superior.

  • How Can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.
