I'm having a problem with my new iMac and have been fighting it and asking about it on different forums for almost two months.
The problem is Vegas "sees" and controls the camera just fine in the capture mode, but it won't let me preview externally (via firewire pass-through), and it won't let me print to tape. It does turn the camera on (Sony Z1U) and starts the record mode, but no video or audio gets through. It's very frustrating.
I've tried different cables, both firewire ports and different cameras. It's always the same.
It was doing the same thing on the OSX side, but FCP has a "refresh camera" option and that cured it, there. I can't find anything similar in Vegas or Windows. Sony tech support is apparently stumped, and Apple just tells me they don't support Windows apps.
24" iMac, 2.86 ghz, 4 megs RAM, Leopard. In every other respect, the machine is awesome and Vegas works very well with it.
Has anyone else come across this, and do you know of any possible fixes?
Thanks, and Happy New Year...
