Poor man's FCP Firestore alternative...

Just open iMovie. Connect the cam. Select the cam (I have two choices: A1 and the built in iSight). You'll see the output from the cam, so just press 'Import' when you want to record... I don't know if this works in play mode, but all the other modes should work. (When importing from tape, the normal modes don't work).

...and: you need to be in camera mode, not playback mode.

my question is, how do we as a community of FCP users bug Apple to provide an update for FCP to work with m2t files?

Coffee did you email? If so can you paste your request here, then the rest of us can copy and paste the same thing. If we all say exactly the same thing theres no confusion over what we want.

Ok sorry to revisit an old thread but heres my issue.

The HDV capture presets DO NOT allow you to see vectorscope and waveform during the capture or review.

This sucks and is one of the few unsupported formats.

never saw this one dude, sorry. I'm assuming your question was answered by that "Tell Apple, WE NEED FCP/M2T SUPPORT!" ?
