How to capture Mini DV tapes in Final Cut Pro X
http://www.webvideochefs.com/learn Final Cut Pro X makes it easy to capture from a deck or camera. In this tutorial I show you how easy it is to do and save to an external drive.
2014 Update: Please note that this method may not work for later versions of FCPX. I would highly suggest you download a trial version of adobe creative cloud for 30 days and use Adobe Premiere to capture tapes. Or try not to use tapes at all!
