Capture with Q-Pro at DVinfo.net

Robert Morane · April 22nd, 2008, 01:34 PM

I am trying to capture 30F from my Canon A1, using Quicktime pro Native Device capture.
I have FCE 3.5 and don't want to AIC my footage for the moment.
It record the audio but not the video. Any body knws what is missing?
Thanks

Make sure the capture mode matches your input source. Go into Quicktime preferences, see pic.

I did , it recognize the video source as Canon A1,
I choose native and get a white screen with the audio perfect.
I shoot HDV 30 F.
I think it could be the 30F that is not recognize by Q-Pro but if so, how to fix it?

Are you trying to capture HDV in QT Pro?

Yes! HDV 30F.

Far as I know QT can only do 640x480 DV, H.264, etc. but no HDV.

I believe Ben is right; the only way to capture HDV is to use either iMovie, FCE or FCP (or any other HDV-compatible editing app) but not QT pro directly.

iMovie and FCE won't capture HDV. They'll transcode it into AIC. FCP is the only Apple app that handles HDV natively.
