  • Problem with SONY HVR-V1U and FCP

      2 comments

    We had a member refer a problem to us to see if we could help solve the problem.

    Here is the issue:
    Paulette,
    There is a FCP usergroup that helped others for all kinds of FCP
    issues. Give them a shout. I’ve copied Rodney the main group leader
    just in case he is familiar with the issue or knows someone who could
    help.
    Here is their URL: http://www.dcfcpug.org/
    Good Luck

    I’m having a strange Final Cut Pro problem. 3 tapes – all will play in the

    of Final Cut – yet I see time code in the preview monitor.

    I tried changing out firewire, decks, computers. no luck. Other tapes (not
    shot on same camera) DO play and CAN be digitized. Changed the deck settings
    to hdv, then back to dv. Still no luck

    When I try to digitize straight from the camera – FC does not recognize the
    camera. This is not my system. It seems like a tape issue? Camera settings?
    Any thoughts? the tapes were shot on a sony v1u.
    Thanks for your feedback.

    Tip of the Day!

    Final Cut Pro – Can Not Hear Audio on Even Tracks


    Its simply a setting in simply the wrong place…

    Inspector

    Peter Koeleman sent this in:

    The problem we are having is that you can’t hear the audio on the even tracks (2,4,6, etc.). It does this regardless of the camera we use.

    After a day of pulling hair out and using the Apple forum, we figured it out. It was simply a setting: Sequence > Setting > Audio Output > Stereo.

    Voila! It worked.
