I'm new to forums and I need help. I know I can buy a new computer and up grade software to final cut suite 3 but thats about a $3300 up grade for me and can't afford it. Here's the problem.
I am having trouble capturing video using capture now in final cut 4.5. It's all choppy. like its just skipping across the video and only getting pieces of video and audio. I have re installed final cut and changed the RAM. that didn't help any.
Any suggestions other than upgrading my computer to the imac 27" quad core and get suite 3 final cut 7.0.
Ok
I am using the same computer and camera that has worked fine for at least 3 years. imac G5 1.8ghz 2G RAM 160 internal hard drive with 2 external drives- 250g and 500g.
I have tried capturing both from a DVD spliter with firewire and from my 3ccd camcorder with firewire. Capture is going to the external lacie hard drive. Im not doing anything different than what I have normallly done in the past 5 years. Never had this problem until recently. It first started out choppy every 4-5 minutes into capturing and now it won't capturing anything right. Final cut 4.5 only works well with Panther so I have not updated anything since we reloaded the panther system 2 years ago when the updates were causing problems. Don't know what you mean with capture settings and sequence settings. Everything was set for me years ago and I haven't changed anything since. The logic board and DVD-rom were changed 11 months ago when I was having problems with the DVD burning DVDs
