Hi,
My apologies - this is actually part of a workaround for me - I'm dealing with a producer who gave me (among other weird dailies formats) a ref movie in FLV, and I'm just trying to create new miniDV footage of the ref so I can match cut to it (He's on PC-based Avid, I'm on Mac-based Avid, finally input a QT of the FLV into FCP 7, just to re-output to tape , to re-capture in Avid, - all just to use it as a ref to match cut - phew!
(Already tried to use Compressor to make an Avid-readable file of the QT mov - NG.)
So I have this approx 20 min cut in FCP, simply trying to output to mini DV (cam); done this a million times before...
I'm trying to Print to Video but FCP7 won't play nice. It sees & runs the camera, but the cam won't capture the cut as it plays... I
Inserted blank tape into camera (safety off) - check
Turned on video camera to record mode - check
Connected video camera to computer with a FireWire cable - check
Started Final Cut and opened the project - check
Selected the sequence - check
Selected File > Print to Video...
The screen goes black & then I click as per prompted - the cut starts playing, the camera starts recording (red dot etc) - but it seems to just be recording live from the room, not off the cut...? (When I re-wound & played, I heard my room noise & live dialog.)
Ideas? What am I missing?
