I just purchased a new Intel Mac Pro to finally make the switch to Final Cut Pro with the intention of using the machine stricktly for editing. I went to capture some footage for the first time yesterday and was unable to get either of my cameras to work. I have both a panasonic gs12 which i use as a deck and tried first and a panasonic dvx100b which i tried second. Neither of the cameras were recognized in FCP. I went into "about this mac" to see if they showed up on my buss and the firewire buss drop down was gone. All it said was "Firewire up to 800m/s". I tried a number of different cables including a firewire 800 to firewire 4pin. None made a difference. I went online and made sure i had all of the latest system updates but still no change. I figured my firewire buss may have come from the factory non-working but for kicks decided to try a firewire external harddrive. That drive was immediately recognized and seemed to work fine. Can anyone give me any advice or point me in any directions before i give up and take this machine back and stick to PC's?
