I am pretty sure that the problem does not rest with my camera because I can import to iMovie. The problem that I am having with FCP is that when I turn on "Log & Capture" FCP seems to recognize my camera because when I click on the "play" button FCP begins to play the video -- I can even hear the audio. I just cannot see the video in the preview screen. I have tried the suggestions that I have found here in the Discussions section of Apple Support, including reloading FCP and Quicktime. As a part of that process I have also trashed all existing receipts, etc. But the problem with capturing continues Can someone help me? Thanks.
