Where should we CD at TWE in MA?? any suggestions??

This list contains virtually everything to try to enable:
a. External Monitor VIDEO and AUDIO via FireWire & DV deck or camcorder.
b. Viewing in the Canvas window on the computer screen.
c. Being able to record on the external FW DV deck or camcorder.
d. Being able to capture from a FW device.

If working this list doesn't cure the problem... you may have a serious PROBLEM!

Try things in this order until you find the "cure":

1. Make sure you have only ONE (1) FireWire deck, camcorder, DV capture "card", or D-to-A converter or video device attached to the computer at a time. Any more than one DV device can cause loss of signal and control.
2. Make sure you have View (Menu) > External Video> All Frames set.
(If the ALL FRAMES option is grayed-out... jump to step 6 below and continue.)
3. Make SURE your Canvas window (right window) in FCP is set to "Fit to Window"... AND that it has not been "pushed off" the edge of the computer screen or "pushed into" other windows.
4. Make sure your CANVAS View Menu (Box Icon with broken sides) is checked on Image or Image+Wireframe... NOT just Wireframe.
5. Make sure your CANVAS View Menu is checked on RGB... NOT just Alpha.
6. Make sure your Final Cut Pro (menu) > Easy Setup... is set for DV-NTSC (or DV-PAL, if that's where you are).
7. Some camcorders/decks work better under "FW (NTSC/PAL)" -or- "FW (NTSC/PAL) Basic" control (in the capture settings). Try either setting to see which works best for your device.
8. Make sure your Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices (tab) > Mirror on Desktop > must be CHECKED. (If not, playing video will not appear in the Canvas.)
9. Make sure the "Log and Capture" Window is CLOSED and not just "hidden" behind other windows.
10. Make sure you have chosen FW output for A/V:
Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings... >
Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720 x480)
Audio Playback: FireWire DV
11. Turn off the power to the Camera/Deck/Converter Box, then turn it back ON.
12. Make sure the camera is in VTR mode... or the deck is in DV (DV, iLink, or FW) input.
13. On a Sony camcorder or deck, make sure the menu setting "A/V > DV Out" is set to OFF.
14. Re-check that your FW cable is well-connected at both ends (or try a new cable).
15. Important: Quit FCP, then Restart FCP.
16. Now again, make sure you have View > External Video > ALL FRAMES set...

Or you could just follow my DD's fail safe techno advice, " Just jiggle the cable. "

That's going to be #17.

You either need to go to Fenway Park or The Garden.

any suggestions??

Bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.

Serve with brown rice and toast points.

I'm trying hard to break this code, but I can't. I can't even tell if this is satire or real, so I guess I'm starting at a disadvantage.

Since the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep this on the QT? If this gets out, we'll all be on KP.

it's just my way of retaliating because I'm not hip on Disney lingo. I'm just trying to fit in
