FCP5 Studio problems with capturing
Okay so I'm simply trying to capture clips to be able to edit some vids long overdue..
Anyhow my camera is connected ( I checked the apple profile)
My mac is remotely controling the camera,
the tape is there, everything seems ok.
but the preview is disabled. I went into view and enabled it .. still doesn't work.
I try and use capture now and I start my camera and then FCP tells me there is no video!
It's probably very simple..
but it's really anoying me...
do any one of you have any ideas how to fix this so I can get on with editing this?
Thanks!

Hit play. The preview should show up once the movie is playing. Thats how it is in Final Cut Express HD.

The workaround is to download Quicktime *manually*, after removing the "receipts" which indicate that it is loaded. Specifically, I was told to do the following:
1. Navigate to Library -> Receipts on your main drive (not from your personal folder).
2. Remove all files of the form QuickTime*.pkg, where "*" is a version number. E.g. QuickTime600.pkg, QuickTime650.pkg, Quicktime700.pkg and QuickTime701.pkg. This simply tells your system that those packages are not installed.
3. Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/downloads and click on the "download Quicktime" link. DO NOT USE THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE UTILITY. Download QuickTimeInstallerX.dmg. Double click this file (probably on your desktop) and then invoke the installer by double clicking QuickTime701.pkg.
4. After your computer reboots, you should be able to restart FCP and see your camera.
