I'm 100% brand spankin' new to FCP. So bear with me as I try to explain this problem.

I'm taking over from a previous editor that lost the job. The movie is already on the time line ready to be sent to a DVCAM master. The problem is this: FCP or MAC or whatever is not allowing me to initialize the deck.

The deck I have is the Sony HVR-M15U, and from what I understand, this deck was used to digitize the footage.

I went to File>Edit to tape and it can't initialize the deck it says I need to check my devices in audio/video settings. When I go to check them, I'm faced with like 20 different presets. 1 being the sony hd firewire device. I set it to that and then I can edit that devices properties, and upon opening that I'm faced with like 20 more presets.

There could be thousands of possible combinations with the various other little settings involved.

I tried "printing to video" but that only played on the Mac, but didn't record to DVCAM.

Can anyone help me solve this?
