Trouble Capturing from XL-H1!!
Hi All,
I have Just installed my new FCP 5.1 on my Powerbook G4 and connected my XL-H1 to capture. I was able to capture using the Easy Setup HDV - 1080i50 without a problem. I played around with some settings to output back to the camera which I didn't manage to do, and subsequentely now I cannot capture. I now get the following error message when I restart both my Powerbook and/or FCP. Unable to locate the following external devices: HDV (1440 x 1080) 25fps On the back of the XL-H1 there is normally a small blue light comes on beside the Firewire connection whenever a Firewire cable is connected - this no longer seems to work. Can someone give me some help with this please? many thanks Ray |

Hello Ray,
Apple is going to release a new patch for that. I am having the same problem like you hopefully the release will take place soon. Cheers, Gilbert. |

What? Surely I can capture from my XL-H1?…can't I?
Is there a workaround to this? Any suggestions welcome. Ray |

Hi Ray try trashing your FCP preferences and then re-select the easy setup you were using before.

Okay I have managed to unravel my situation. I thought I would share so it may help anyone else who may encounter the same problem.
Basically I had filmed a variety of different formats on one tape, and as a consequence I would capture, say HDV1080i50, and the footage on the tape would run on to DV16:9 then I would stop capturing, play around with my footage then go back to capture again. This time FCP would say it could no longer connect to the external device. So what I had to do was change my settings to suit the footage on the tape - seems obvious now but very frustrating and confusing at the time!! Hope this might help someone else. BTW: I can capture HDV1080 25f within FCP - is this normal? thanks for your help Ray |
