[Craig Johnson] "FCP doesn't see my input. I did an S-Video connection to my HDR-FX1 Sony, then firewire to my MBP. Any idea what my settings should be? It's 20 year old VHS home movies shot with who only knows. FCP wants HD I think because it defaults when it see's the firewire connection. I checked the Sony manual and I'm sure my connection is right and the settings maybe not so clear. Sony said to make the output DV, not HDV. I agree but the only way I can digitize the media with my camera is with the firewire connection. Am I close, light years away.....tell them that their tape is possessed? Confused."
The camera has to be in EE (Electronic/Electronic) so what gets through the Video IN, outs through the FW.
YEs, the camera must be in DV mode because you are digitizing an SD signal (VHD).
Are you getting the VHS picture in the camera screen?
You need that first.
