Final Cut Pro X Live Capture Mini Recorder

Hi all,

I am needing to know if Final Cut Pro X can live capture an HD-SDI camera source via the Mini Recorder? The BlackMagic Media Express works great but I'd like to import directly into FCPX.

Thanks.

You can not capture footage through our products directly into FCPX.

Is that true Tony?
It might be that the mini recorder can't but.....
I thought the ultrastudio range was compatible with editing software like FCPX, AVID etc.

If your statement holds then marketing are telling us porkies...

Media can be imported that is captured with our products however, when Final Cut went from 7 to X, the ability to import directly to the application was disabled. Media captured via Media Express or other applications that have codecs supported in Final Cut can capture via our product. You can however, use our products as playback/output devices from FC.
