  can I use media I captured using cinewave on a new mac, fcp and kona 3 card?

  Hi Guys

  I’ve captured over 200 hours of footage using my cinewave system using codec DVPAL, but some other tapes were using TARGA YUV codec.

  I don’t want to capture it all over again!

  could I use the these files if I moved my drives from my old cinewave system to my new knoa + g5?

  Thanks

  Paul

  Set up a Sequence using the 2Vuy codec and you should be good to go.

  Hi walter
  can you clarify
  set this up in the kona software and then I should be able to read the files?

  Or do I set this up in the cinewave and re capture?

  Thanks

  In the Final Cut Pro Audio / Video Settings or the Sequence Settings.

  Set up an AJA 8 or 10bit SD Sequence Setting, but then change codec to 2Vuy. You do this with your AJA system. I’ve never had to do this but that’s what the codec does. It’s an old Blackmagic codec that you can use to playback CineWave files in an AJA timeline.

  Folks who have tried this have reported success on this forum using that setting to play back the CineWave files. I’ve never had to use any of my old CineWave stuff with the Konas so I don’t have first-hand experience with it.

  What Walter says, but you’ll have to recapture the PAl dv25 files. Kona does not handle different codecs in the same timeline as Cinewave. You need to either recapture your pal dv25 as 2Vuy, or your targa as pal dv25 and set up your timeline accordingly. If you decide to keep everything dv25, then set your timeline to that, if you decide to do 8 bit uncompressed, then you must set your timeline to that.
