Unable to capture with FCP5

With correct connexions and I-link OK, FCP is unable to capture DV with the
camera either with recorder. I,ve the text (in french) :
"Périphériques suivants sont introuvables
Apple Firewire PAL (720x576) .... "
The capture is OK using a Mc-Book with 10.4.7 OSX , but not with the G5. I ve verify QT is version 7.
All programms have been updated and still the images not captured, but only
the mechanical commands such "play, FFW, stop... "
How can I make the Camcorder, or the DVR recognized with FCP ?
Thanks for an help.

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the troubleshooting. Getting close to identifying the problem.
I brought the deck home with me to try it out on my personal MacBook Pro system. Same problem. the tape would play back, you could control the deck, but it would not import.
David brought up the tape itself, which, logically, I hadn't even thought of. So I threw in a completely different tape and voila! No problems. Was able to control the deck, view the video on my Mac's display (finally!) and yes, capture video to disk.
Just to make sure the deck wasn't being screwy, I tested both the original tape and the other on my personal miniDV camera and yielded the same results. Except when playing back the original, video wouldn't even display on the camera's LCD screen..
In short:
There has to be something funky with this tape that they gave us. We will probably ship it to another post house and see if they can get it to work out on a different deck. When I return to the office, I will try the other tape just to confirm there's nothing wrong with our Mac Pro system there..
Thank you all for you troubleshooting wisdom. I owe you all one.

Unable to Capture with MiniDV Deck - Strange Problem

Hello everyone,
I apologize if this is a repeat, but I couldn't find an answer among other discussions. I'll try to be as specific as possible..
The problem revolves around capturing a MiniDV tape. We are using a Sony GV-D1000 deck, which is connected via Firewire. Final Cut Pro recognizes the deck as a Device Control and Capture/Input setting.
We can control the deck, but we can't capture from it. The Log and Capture window reads "Preview Disabled". When attempting to capture, it pauses for a second and then says "The operation could not be completed as there is no video." This is very odd since the deck's display shows actively running video..
Our system is as follows:
8-core Mac Pro 2x3 GHz
10GB RAM
ATI RadeonX1900
BlackMagic DeckLink HD Extreme Card
w/a bunch of Lacie hard drives which I kept off during the troubleshooting..
Things I have tried:
- Restarting without Firewire devices running
- Trashing FCP prefs in the library folder
- Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility
I found an article here that was interesting...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24110
It kinda implies that the other audio card (BlackMagic HD Extreme) might be the problem. But there is no way to disable this card... or is there?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to capture using Matrox MXO2 LE with Preimere Pro CS6 and Windows 8

I have a Matrox MXO2 LE and trying to capture with Preimere Pro CS6. My OS is Windows 8 and it sees my Matrox Device via my device managers. No option comes up in CS6 to allow me to actually capture. I am a new beginner with both Matorx and Preimere so learning on the way.
Background Information:
I have a Datavideo SE 600 Switcher (SD) and it is connected to the Matrox. I am trying to capture into Preimere Pro so that we can make DVDs instanly after service, we are a church. I am able to capture using Adobe Live Media Encoder for Live streaming but not Preimere Pro CS6.

Check with Matrox... ask 2 things
1-do you have a device driver that is "certified" for PProCS6?
2-do you have a device driver that is "certified" for Windows 8?
The only NATIVE support in Premiere (any version) is Firewire

Unable to capture from my Canon hv30

I just tried to capture some footage from my hv30, the first time I've tried, and it say's on the capture screen that the capture device is off line. I have the camera properly connected and its in the right setting, is there some setting in premiere that's i have wrong? I have another program that came with the camera, and it can't connect to the camera either, saying that its not connected. Not sure what to do at this point, so if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

This is the most weird camera I have ever seen, you have a miniDV tape camera appartently without a Firewire I/O connector. I just looked at this Canon specification http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=177&modelid=1620 6#ModelTechSpecsAct
and there is nothing about a Firewire/IEEE-1394/etc. Without a firewire interface Premiere is unable to capture video. apparently there is some software supplied with the camera, maybe it can capture the video via the USB interface to your computer and then (if it is the correct format) you can import it to Premiere.

Unable to capture user comments and responder in RESPOND API

We are building a custom application that uses Oracle Workflow underneath. The application users and responsibilities have been integrated into Workflow. Notifications are acknowledged and responded to directly from the application using the PL/SQL Notification APIs.
When using the wf_notification.respond API with the appropriate user and comment information filled in, we are still unable to capture the responder information as well as the reponders comments. In other words, the RESPONDER and USER_COMMENT fields in the WF_NOTIFICATION is blank. However, the response does seem to go through otherwise. Do we need to set some kind of user context outside of just setting the response attributes and calling the respond API? Following is the code....
owf_mgr.wf_notification.setattrtext(p_nid,
               'RESULT'          ,
               'APPROVED');
-- This procedure then caused the WF to advance to next step
-- Respond to notification, depends on RESULT setattrtext above
owf_mgr.wf_notification.respond(     p_nid, -- notification id
     p_respond_comment,     -- response_comment
p_responder     );     --responder role
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj

If you are on 11.5.10 or greater or standalone 2.6.4 if you pass the responder value to wf_notification.respond API it should be updated in wf_notifications.responder column. The comments is now updated in wf_comments table against the notification id and not wf_notifications.user_comment column.
Thanks, Vijay

Unable to Capture Video PE 3.0

I'm using Premier Elements 3.0 and am unable to capture a video from my DV camera. I have reviewed all the instructions that might relate to the problem and have re installed the program. When I go to capture a video, in the top left of the screen indicates "Capture device off line" however I can start and stop my camera with the buttons on the capture screen. The get video button is not active. It will not download. Again if run through the start up instruction with no results. The program use to work fine but I have not used it in a while. Any suggestions?

A couple of questions:
Do you have the 3.0.2 update?
What make/model of camera?
Does Windows give you the "bing-bong" sound, when you have the camera plugged-in via FireWire and you turn it on?
What mode does the camera's manual tell you to set the camera in, for capture?
Good luck,
Hunt

Unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie, camera not recognized.

I am unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie.
I have been dealing with this problem for quite a while now, and I think I have tried everything posted on these forums regarding this issue. I have been to the Quicktime, iMovie, and this FCP forum looking for the solution. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I have missed or have not tried yet. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger 10.4. I am running Quicktime 7.04, and FCP 4.5.
My problem is this… I am unable to capture from my Canon ZR-200 Mini DV camera, using Final Cut Pro, iMovie and also Quicktime. FCP says no camera recognized. iMovie says no camera attached, and Quicktime says no recording device found. In FCP, I am using the Firewire Basic setting, and NTSC DV settings. I have captured in FCP with the same camera several times in the past. I think the problem started when I upgraded to OSX 10.4, or one of the Quicktime upgrades.
Here are the details…
- Camera is connect via Firewire. I have tried the built in ports, as well as a Firewire Carbus card.
- OSX recognizes the Canon ZR-200 in the System Profiler, so I know the computer sees the camera.
- I have tried the camera on a Windows XP machine, and capture works perfectly, so I know the camera is functioning properly in VTR mode.
- Deleted my FCP pref’s using FCP Rescue.
- Deleted the Quicktime receipts, and re-installed Quicktime 7.04
- Reverted back to Quicktime 7.01
- Set the audio to 44.1 in the the Audio MIDI setup in the Utilities folder
- Tried the “GarageBand” fix, opening the programing, playing a few notes and closing.
- I have installed Quicktime using the program “Yank” to completely delete Quicktime and re-install.
I may have tried more solutions, but these are the fixes that I can recall.
If anyone has any others suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
Brent

Hi Brent:
Although it looks as if you have tried all of the 'fixes' that are normally suggested here, please read through this Apple Article to see if some obscure thing applies to you.

FCP unable to Capture Canon GL2

Hello -
My system is noted below. Final Cut Pro is updated to 6.0.4.
I am unable to capture the video using Canon's GL2 using the current version of FCP. I believe that I have everything configured correctly because I am able to capture audio and video using my father's JVC GR-DV800U video camera. Actually that particular JVC camera seems to work quite well with FCP. But not Canon's GL2. I am able to control camera's Rewind, Fast Forward, Play, etc. So I know that some communication is taking place. However, no picture is present within FCP; no capture either. Instead, I get that dreaded beach ball wheel.
I believe the FCP settings are correct: Under "Audio/Video" settings, the audio is set to MOTU's 424 (for the 2408 MK3); the DV Capture Preset (and the Sequence) is set to "DV NTSC 48 khz"; Video Playback is set for"Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Main" with the audio playback set (again) to MOTU's 424 card.
I am attempting to capture the video to an external hard disk drive using the Mac Pro's firewire port located in the back of the computer. Again, this all works using my father's JVC video recorder.
*Given the computer setting and operating system, is this a known issue between the FCP and the GL2??* My GL2 is an older video camera. I purchased it quite a few years ago. *It seems like the GL2 may be the culprit. Yes? No?*
I'm very new to FCP. My background is with SONY's Vegas program (currently I'm up to version 8). Been using the Vegas program for years. My Dell Workstation, unfortunately, is old; it definitely is showing signs of aging. So, to make a long story short, I've decided to invest time and money in a Mac Pro (I use it primarily for music sequencing using the Logic Pro program which I love!) Now I want to learn how to use the FCP which I purchased several months ago. Not being able to have FCP communicate with the GL2 is a minor significance for me, though. I'm in no financial place to purchase a new camera at this time. Luckily, I usually record the video using Focus Enhancement's FS4-Pro with the GL2. So I am not totally dependent on having FCP and the GL2 work together. *Thankfully, the FS4-Pro DOES works well with FCP!!* Too bad I didn't use the FS4-Pro today. Wish I did. UGH
Could there be a work around in getting the GL2 to communicate properly with FCP??
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful insights and suggestions.
Regards,
Ted Fiebke

Not all Canon cameras have connection issues, but hanging around this site I've come to recognize their ability to connect in FCP is the most problematic of all the camera brands. If you have a Canon camcorder, and can not get it to connect up with FCP, the following is a way to sort through the issues and get it to work. Some are elegant - some are ugly.
Before we go any farther
• You should be using 'Firewire Basic' as the control protocol. If you aren't, go change it and try again.
• Also, verify that you have a solid installation of Quicktime. You may want to reinstall it using the 'delete receipts' method.
With some confidence that the software installation and camera settings are correct ... the most direct solution is to purchase another, non-Canon device to use as your capturing machine. The (now discontinued) Sony DSR-11 is highly recommended for DV work. A deck will save wear and tear on the camera's lightweight drive mechanism and will allow you to permanently connect a NTSC/PAL monitor for proper viewing. If you are working with HDV, you may have other issues ...
Beyond that, the path you take depends on the model of computer you own.
1. If you have a G5 tower or a MacPro, capture to a second internal drive with only the camera attached. If you need to move material to firewire drive, disconnect the camera. A second internal drive is quite inexpensive these days if you do not already have one.
2. If you have a G5 tower (PCI) MacPro (PCI), G4 powerbook (PCMCIA) or MacBookPro (Expresscard 43) with an available slot, purchase the appropriate firewire card for the slot. Connect your camera to the card and you should be good to go. The new card creates a unique bus and will avoid collisions with the external drives.
3. If you do not have a slot or a second internal drive and you are stuck with the camera, welcome to the camera/drive shuffle.
• shut down and remove the external hard drive(s) from the system
• connect the camera directly to the firewire port of the computer
• start the camera then the computer
• capture to your internal (system) hard drive
• shut down the camera and computer
• disconnect the camera and reconnect the external hard drive(s)
• start hard drive(s) and computer
• move captured files to external hard drive(s)
• edit
If you output back to tape or wish to view your work on an external Video (NTSC or PAL) monitor, you need to set up the camera to use the firewire out as the A/DV converter or VTR - which means reversing the steps:
• copy the file back to the internal drive
• shut everything down
• disconnect the external drive(s)
• connect the camera to the firewire port (and the TV to the camera if needed)
• start the camera then the computer
• play the file.
One caveat here - You may have difficulty getting the file back to tape without dropping frames. Playing files off of the system drive is very demanding and they may have a hard time keeping up.
All in all, if you do not have the option for second bus (i.e. iMacs, eMacs, iBooks, MacBooks) you may want to think about a computer with expandable options next time.
There is the option of capturing using iMovie, but that brings on it's own set of problems and is not recommended.
Good luck.

"Unable to capture window image"

if I select a window to be screenshot, I get this error:
Your screen shot can’t be saved.
Unable to capture window image.
(shortcut: cmd-shift-4 and then space)
It seems to be new in Lion. Never had that problem before. And regular screenshots seem to work fine (cmd-shift-3).
Thanks for any help! ~ Kai

Thanks Davide ...
I created com.apple.screencapture.plist with Terminal and restarted the Mac.
The first couple of window screenshots worked on a Chrome browser window (command-shift-4, then space bar). But it did not work on other app's windows (Finder, Carousel).
Then I switched back to Chrome and I didn't work there too anymore. Crazy thing is that now it works on Finder windows. Very very strange.
All this is only true for capturing a whole window content (command-shift-4, then space bar)

Unable to capture in Async Hot Log

Hi,
I am unable to get the changes captured in async hot log mode of operation. Have verified that DB is in archivelog mode and am able to create change tables, but changes in the source table are not getting propagated. Is it due to logs not getting picked up from the proper place.
my change_sources view has empty values in all the fields except source_type, source_description and created.
would appreciate any pointers for what may be missing..or how to go about identifying the problem.
Thanks,
RK

Thank you Patrick. You have helped me before, so thanks again.
I do not have anything else connected to the firewire ports. I have an external hard drive, but I have tried to capture with and without the hard drive attached. I did recently back up using Carbon Copy Cloner to another hard drive, if anyone thinks this may be the issue.
I can't recall the exact error message in FCP (I have deleted the program trying to fix the issue, and focus on the capture problem in Quicktime thinking that if Quicktime and iMovie both don't capture, that the problem is not with FCP, but either with the OS or the back end of QT) I can re-install FCP to give you the exact FCP error message if you would like me too. Ie, if the exact error message is necessary.
Thanks again for your response.

Unable to Capture files

Hi,
I've been trying to perform a capture using Premiere Pro CS4. The camera im using is Sony DCR-HC42e. When I try using the capture feature, and the setting are for DV, the capture window advisory shows " Cant activate recorder. Try resetting camera". The camera seems to be fine. When I change the setting to HDV, I'm able to control the camera using the controls in the Capture window, but am unable to capture anything. The Record button is diabled anf the window advisory now reads Capture device offline. The display is blank. I checked other video software and I am able to capture the video using Windows Movie Maker as well as WinDV. Im using a firewire connection and a Windows Vista for the capture and the system has 1.5 GB RAM installed in it. I have also installed the drivers for the camera. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Thanks

At least the firewire cable is not the problem. What do you mean you installed the drivers? Vista does not need any drivers, they are included in the OS. When you connect the camera, turn it on, then in a default configuration the auto play message appears and you can choose to open PR. Set up a new project using the standard presets for either HDV or DV, depending on how you setup your camera in the menu for HDV or DV. If it does not work like I described, do a search for capturing problems. There are a lot of posts with similar issues. You may start out with the related topics on the right hand side.

Unable to capture screenshot of Agentry Client v 7.0.1.207

Once you have logged a user in the Agentry Client application, it is no more possible to capture screenshots of the Agentry client application.
I got an error "Unable to capture screenshot. USB storage may be in use"
However you can take screenshots of other application (Gmail for example) or you can take screenshot of the Agentry client logging page.
This is occurring with Agentry client v 7.0.1.207. It was working before with v6.0.14
Is there a possibility to remove this security feature?
regards.

With the Encrypted DB checked, it is not possible to take screenshots. There is an option in the newest versions of Agentry 6.0 (would need to wait until it is rolled up to SMP) that next to the Encrypted DB option, you can check an option to enable screen share again. I know this was put into around 6.0.42 or 6.0.44. Don't know if or when it will get to SMP.
