Native HDV Editing in FCP 5…
I was reading that FCP is supposed to edit in HDV natively. Problem is I’ve brought in HDV from a sony HDV deck through a Kona card and when I put it into an HDV timeline it says the render time is going to be the same as if the timeline was in DVCPRO HD. Am I doing something wrong? Why does it need to render if it supports HDV natively? I’ve never edited HD before so I’m a bit of a newbie at this.

To capture HDV natively, you need to capture via FireWire from the HDV deck.
Going thru the Kona is fine, but I figure you didn’t capture to HDV… rather to something else. MIght open the properties of a captured clip and see what it says it actually is. If you’re having to render each clip in a sequence, it’s because the sequence’s settings don’t match the properties of the clips you’re putting in there…

Yes, you don’t need a Kona to capture native HDV, just FireWire.
