Weird green screen on motion effect clips
Hey Guys,
When I’m working with native footage in the timeline, (10 bit timeline, 10 bit footage, 10bit video display) and do any motion effects (scale, move) to a clip in the sequence, that clip turns the canvas and monitor into a bizarre green mess. I can render the selection and all is well, but i’m pretty sure this isn’t right. Even Avid Xpress can handle something simple like this. It becomes rather difficult when you’re trying to enlarge a clip to say, remove a mic at the top of the screen.
If I were to take a guess, I’d say I have a Kona 2 card issue. If not that, perhaps my setttings are wrong. I have unlimited RT on, my footage is coming from a rock solid RAID, and my settings are built for 10bit, so i’m at a real loss.
Here’s a screen grab of what i’m talking about.

I also trashed my prefs, so I’m at a loss…
Thanks in advance!

trash your FCP prefs – That usually gets rid of this.

Rick,
He wrote that he tried that already. 🙂

Thats why I am an editor.. the attention to details!
Hmmm. Maybe try re-installing the AJA drivers and flashing your firmware. Maybe even re-seating the PCI card. and re attaching the cables. Have you contacted AJA yet? Their tech support is top notch.
When you get it figured out, let us know.

Still nothing yet. I’m in the middle of 3 projects at once on this baby, so I’m hesitant to do anything major until they’re delivered next week. I’ll report back when I can do more.
I think I’ll try to reinstall QT again and see if that helps first. Since it appears in FCP as well as the output monitor, I think it’s a software problem now rather than a Kona2 card issue.
Thanks for the support guys!

Aha. It’s “user error”. I upgraded to the 1.21 Kona drivers today, then ran conflict checker which said I needed to lose the Blackmagic codecs. I can color correct, resize, and put as many starwipes as my heart desires – I just had to delete the Blackmagic codecs.
I installed them for some reason because I thought they might come in handy a while back. I guess not!
thanks for the assist guys!
