Vegas 7 and 8 will not recognize my Canon XH-A1. It will recognize all my other cameras...XL1s XL2 X2000 HV10....but it will not see the XH-A1. What is the problem? I need to use the XH-A1 right away as I no longer have the HV10 with me! PLEASE HELP!!
I saw a problem like this once, and (and your not gonna like this) my camera had a blown firewire port (not my computer, my camera). check it on another computer - if you can, then it's something else, if it's not (then I'd be a little more concerned).
when i have the xh-a1 in vcr mode..nothing..computer doesn't see it...but then i flip it over to record mode..and then the computer sees it and displays what the camera is seeing on the computer.....
It sounds like you need to go into your custom fuctions(before you connect it to your computer) and select your output HDV OPTION,if your trying yo capture hdv..
Yeah..i'm glad you were wrong too or I would have been sick tonight..
...ok..here's the funny thing...it works fine when I use vegas' external capture program...but when I try to use the HDV capture within vegas it won't work....geez...this is making me ill ...i need to do some work.
wow....ok...finally got it working...seems as though if you unplug the firewire cable..new options pop up in the camera menu...strange......anyway...thanks for all your help
