I've searched the forum but need basic instructions for capturing SD from HVX directly to laptop, then edit with FCP (5.1). I can connect a LaCie drive for additional disk space. I have the HVX book, manual but really need step by step instructions of how to set up.
I found these steps in one thread but not sure if they apply. Are there other things to consider? Do I need other software to capture? Help, direction, confirmation - much appreciated! :dankk2:
1) With Camera off. Plug in the 1394 cable and plug into MBP.
2) Turn on Camera and set Record mode to 720p/24p - PN wont work, so dont Try.
3) Open up Final Cut.
4) Easy Set up > DVCPro 720p/24p
5) Create new project, or use existing, 720p/24p timeline project.
6) Close all windows EXCEPT the BROWSER window, but resize to as small as it can go. Just dont close your project in the Browser, Dont eve touch the browser window.
7) Hit CMND+8 and it will open the Log and Capture window.
8) Logging Tab will be the visable on the left. In the description tag type your date or whatever, description will make your filename that.
9) Switch to the Clips Settings. Select only the channels of Audio you are using. The Speaker icon should be BRIGHT GREEN, That means it is selected and will record with Video.
10) Switch to the Capture Settings Tab. MAKE SURE DEVICE CONTROL is set to NON-Controllable Device. And the Capture/Input is set for what you are recording.
11) Open up the Finder create a new folder in refrence to the Project you are shooting, and if there are multi-days, make name the Folder Day1 and Select your SCRATCH DISK to that folder.
12) HIT NOW and you are off Capturing.
