Right Chris- I've got it to work as it should, although what I've
found is decidedly odd..
The problem I was having was that, although all of my firewire devices
were unplugged, the live feed seemed to want to connect to a live feed
other than the built-in isight. I then discovered that if you put a
peice of 'stock footage' ie MPEG, or whatever into the cuelist first,
then placed the live feed after it, the live feed showed the input
from the isight. However, if you put the live feed first in the cue,
you only get a black screen!
Once I'd tried this, I then reconnected the Canopus with a camera
feed, exported a QT movie in QC, and stuck it in qlab with an MPEG in
the cuelist before it, and all behaved as it should. If I stick the
canopus live feed movie in the cuelist first, then the displayed image
is from the isight camera!
It seems like, without a video stream to kickstart it, it gets
confused as to which live feed it should find!
I hope this all makes sense, it's quite hard to explain!
