@bgv3311 Did you watch part 2 of the video where I did explain it?  The link is in the upper right corner of the Youtube page.

what about an external capture card can that work with Final Cut Pro?

[lorddinaire]

Hi. I have a mystery to solve in my Mac. I have a Canon XL1 (Standard definition)

and I'm editing with Final Cut Pro Express HD. What I want to do is: Download 4 or 5 hours of video from the XL1, make the editing, export (usually is 24 GB), burn in IDV (maximum is 4.2GB (with chapters) and watch it in a big 52 inch HD, 108o with very good quality. How can I do that with what I have, or better what I should do to get HD in that T.V with XL1 an FCE? Do I need a Blue ray Burner?

[DiminishedStudios]

No final cut!!!!!! What is the matter with you!!!!

[AsktheTechies]

@DiminishedStudios I don't understand your comment in that I don't understand what you are trying to communicate. Are you pushing for not using Final Cut or what?

[furnando72]

@AsktheTechies i think what he is getting at is that final cut is a little bit better of a video editor than iMovie

Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful. I am using the same set-up you have here with the same HDV deck into a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Pro 5. When I am capturing the video from the deck I cannot monitor the audio or video on my MacBook monitor on any of the Final Cut screens. Is this normal? Is there a way to watch it in real time while I am capturing?

Also after the capture when I am viewing the video on the Final Cut viewer it is very jumpy. It is not jumpy on the camcorder monitor.

[betbowt]

I am not sure if this is normal and/or if this is because I am not making the capture correctly. I am using an HVR-V1u and shooting 1080i/24p (if that makes sense, I am not 100% I should be using the 24p or if I am using it correctly...)

And I am capturing with the Final Cut audio/video settings; HDV 1080i/60, HDV and Sony HDV Firewire.

And on the deck; HDV 1080i/60i and the menu settings are; HDV, 60 and HDV (on the yellow indicator lights.)

Thanks for your input.

[AsktheTechies]

When you do your log and capture, there is a tab where it gives you the option to check "preview" for the audio. Check this and you should be able to hear the audio play through the computer speakers.

[AsktheTechies]

I have run into numerous problems importing with the Sony Deck with using 24 frames per second. If shooting 24 frames, you may have to import using the actual camera as the player.

[betbowt]

I just dropped a bundle on this HDV deck so I wouldn't have to log the hours on my v1u heads... What a waste. I could have got an EX1 for the price of my v1u and the deck. I am beginning to despise tape. I think it may be obsolete at this point. One day I will have the EX3 ;-)

It is by Canopus/Thomson/GrassValley. They make great products but you can get an ADS Pyro for much less.

$129.99

My Mac friend uses mine all the time.
