What do you mean 'nothing?'  What does that mean?  Are you unable to capture?  Are you unable to see anything?  

What is the problem?

Dude, let me help, but you've got to ask the question.

Re: Help!!! Please!!! 16x9 audio video presets!!!

You've got a point! Sorry.

I have a G5 mac. and I'm using the DVX to capture the video footage that was shot at 24adv with the 16x9 anamorphic adapter.

I've tried several video audio settings already, but i haven't been able to capture the images properly. When I do a capture the image is still squeezed.

The last video audio settings I try were:

SQUENCE PRESET -- DVNTSC 48 KHZ ANAMORPHIC

CAPTURE PRESET -- DVNTSC 48 KHZ advanced (2:3:3:2) pulldown removal

DVICE CONTROL -- FIRE WIRE BASIC

VIDEO PLAYBACK -- Apple fire wire NTSC (720X480)

AUDIO PLAYBACK -- Fire Wire DV

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Ok... So, when you are in FCP the image is squeezed.

Try this:

Option-Command-Q to bring up audio/video settings
Open Capture Preset Tab
Dbl Click on DVNTSC 48 Advanced Pulldown
-- This will open a NEW setting as the other one is locked
Click on the Anamorphic button
Change the Title to Anamorphic DVNTSC 48 Advanced (blah blah)
Save
Close out Viewer/Canvas/Timeline
Command-8 to open Log and Capture
Change Capture Preset to the New one you just made

Capture

Create new sequence

Click on it in the Browser and Command-Zero it to bring it up
LOAD PRESET
DVNTSC 24fps etc
Click the anamorphic button

EDIT AT WILL.

Good luck,
I hope this helps.

Thank you for your help CaptainMench.

I followed your instructions, and here's what I got:

When I open the log and capture window and press play; the image that shows on that window is perfectly unsqueezed and has letter box (unlike the image in the LCD of the camera which is simply squeezed.

Now, when I press the capture now in the loging window, and final cut begins to capture, the image is squeezed.

After I capture the image and I put in the time line, the image appears squeezed with a green line on top, sometimes a red line, the one shows that the image needs to be render.

I'm guessing the all this is happening because I've tried many set ups in the video/audio settings and maybe, I changed something that I shouldn't have.

I remember that at some point, I open the tabs in audio/video settings, went to the edit options and changed the fps from whatever to 24

Do you think that this might be the source of this problem?

Again thank you for your help.
