This morning I woke up and went to capture some footage from yesterday and my macbook decided that it doesnt wanna recognize my camera. Its been fine to just plug and play till now.
I've restarted the mac and the camera a good few times, unplugged and reconnected all the cables but nothing seems to work, the camera knows when its plugged in as the I.Link logo shows up and the mac knows something is plugged it but just says 'Unknown Device' in system profiler, but I cant seem to make it recognize that its a camera to capture the footage. I dont really wanna to cap it on my pc as that means capping in DV instead of HD

Any suggestions?

Press the reset button on the camera and reboot the Mac and try again.
Also, you made sure the camera is in Play/ Edit, right?

is your camera more than 2 seconds long?

More importantly, why the fuck are you using Premiere and not FCP on a Mac?!

I haven't been able to get a copy yet because I fail at torrents. Officially being enrolled in the Radio/TV program at my school now, I can get a copy when classes start.

On a scale of 1-10, how easy would you say it is getting into FCP after using Premiere for 6 years?
17 August 2009, 16:27 UTC#16
I've never really used FCP, but I did check it out one day on an iMac at school. It seemed to be set up a lot like Premiere.
17 August 2009, 16:36 UTC#17
alright, yeah that's what I've understood also
17 August 2009, 18:02 UTC#18
Yeah isn't it just the Premiere for Mac? CS4 has so many decent plug ins I prefer it so much more than FCP.

How do you "convince" it. --------I just plug and unplug my cam for so long that it regs it, sometimes it tkes like 200 plugins....
