I have, understandably, a dinosaur FCP (4) but, for some reason in the log and capture, the tape is freezing. It plays fine until I press "now" to log and capture. Then it freezes. The message says "dropped frames detected" I turned that off in the user preferences and now it simply stops.
Do you know what this might be attributed to?
I have - also - an old Mac G4. Am trying to send the capture to an external hard drive with a lot of disk space as my old Mac needs to be cleaned up. Could this be the problem?
appreciate the help!
