FCP seems to be changing my capture settings at random. I am digitizing pillarboxed PAL SD from BetaSP and Digibeta using a Sony J3 for playback. The capture settings I want are:
Digitizer: Matrox HDTV 1080
Compressor: Apple ProRes 422
Input: Matrox MX02 Mini - 1080i 50 YUV 10-bit
Most of the time, it's fine - and then completely at random it changes and a clip decides to come in at 720p 50fps. When I check the capture settings, this is what I see:
Digitizer: Matrox HDTV 1080
Compressor: Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2
Input: Matrox MX02 Mini - 720p 50 YUV 8-bit
I change them back to how they should be, re-open Log and Capture, check the settings again - and they're back on the 720P.
As far as I can see, if the Digitizer is set to 1080, it should be impossible to set the Input to 720, which makes it even more weird.
I've had a good look around this forum but can't find anything remotely similar. I also posted over at the Matrox forum but their support guy hadn't heard of it before. His advice was to re-install FCP. I haven't done that because it's been stable for quite a few weeks. Then this morning? here it is again.
Any thoughts ? I am running Preference Manager so I don't think it's a matter of trashing prefs. User error ? Male bantam in the works ?
