Am I being stupid?? Log and Capture with HDV at DVinfo.net

Mike Marriage · March 10th, 2008, 06:58 AM

I haven't captured HDV before and I am having a problem!

In FCP 5.1.4 I'm capturing 25F material from an XHA1.

How do I exit log and capture?? The cross button in the top left corner that I normally use to quit SD Log and Capture is grayed out.

Maybe I am being really stupid here or maybe the software is buggy but I can't get rid of the damn log and capture window without force quitting!!!

Thanks for any advice!

Thanks Martin,

It seems to be working now, the cross button is no longer grayed out - must have been a bug.

It happens to me now and again...

I think it's just FCP catching up with it's devices...it usually comes back to life after a minute or two.

Not stupid at all!
