Capture Problem - I have tried everything!

[mikel]

Hi guys,

My problem is that I cannot Log and Capture with FCP 5.1.3 any material from my Canon XL2 (it's a new camera and hence a new problem). Final Cut shows me the Timecode and lets me remote control the deck but it won't give me any picture or sound. What I have tried and done so far is:

1. Safe Boot Procedure

2. Repaired the Permissions

3. Reinstalled the Quicktime

4. Saved the FCP projects under different names (save as)

5. Created a new account and used FCP under that account

6. Tried all the different capture settings such as PAL, PAL basic etc (I'm in Europe)

7. Trashed FCP preferences

When I connect the Camera via Firewire to the DVD-player it works perfectly, so the FW connection is ok. Also, if I try to capture by using iMovie the same problem takes place: it shows me the timecode and lets me control the deck, but won'd give me picture or sound. Log and Capture fuctions perfectly when I use my Sony TRV950.

The equipment: Macbook Pro 2.16, Canon XL2, FCP 5.1.3, Mac OSX 10.4.8, Quicktime 7.1.3 pro.

So guys, help me out because I know you can!!!

It's you settings. Go through all your Audio/Video Settings. Something is simply not set right in FCP. You're system is fine. Look that A/V Settings section over, see what you can find. Let us know if you find anything there.
