Batch capture continuing to roll past outpoint and never completes clip. I am forced to abort the capture.
Taking in PAL SD from digibeta.
Settings PAL 25fps AJA 10bit uncompressed.
Have full deck control.
FCP reading deck TC correctly.
No TC breaks on tape (have tried alternative tapes)
Space for post roll on tape.
Able to capture now.
Able to get capture window to roll to out point.
Deck able to find in point correctly and begins capture correctly.
Checked scratch is set up correctly.
Handles set to 1 second.
Preferences trashed.
Tried different projects.
Tried different users.
Tried restarts.I’ve set the deck up on another system now and it works fine.
This problem was on the following system;
FCP – 6.0.4
G5 Mac Pro
2x 3GHz Quad
5GB Memory
Kona LH
Radeon X1900
JC30 – connected via SDI and 9pin.All sensible suggestions greatly welcomed. Thanks in advance.

[simon redmile] “Handles set to 1 second.”
That means your real out point is 1 second after the one that you’ve logged. Are you sure that there’s continous timecode for that whole extra second?

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately yes there is a lot of continues footage after the outpoint. This happens at any point on the tape and other tapes.
Normally the footage is digitized to the san and then access from there but as it was a lot of footage so the client was doing the digitizing.
Requests like this don’t come to often and I’ve not experienced this in any of the other suites. So it’s just lucky/unlucky that this came up.
My only experience of this happening previously is as you say, when there isn’t enough tc after the outpoint for the handles or for a little post roll because of tc break or the end of a roll.
Thanks again, keep them coming! =)

And what happens if you turn the handles off?

Yeah same thoughts here, no handles, with handles, bigger handles, smaller handles! =)
It’s an odd one.

Have you checked your remote cable/firewire, whatever is carrying timecode info. You said that it works in a different suite, was it with all the same cables and deck?
Also, try to uninstall and reinstall the AJA. Sometimes it gets buggy and has to be reset.
Hope this helps.

Mike,
I’d tried different cables but not reinstalling the AJA software, I’ll give that a go and see if that helps. I think I am getting jaded, cheers for the fresh input.

Kona / FCP Batch Capture wont stop! Stop my tape!
Have you read this post on the AJA Kona forum? The 6.0.1 drivers may be your solution.Ray

Unfortunately nothing has worked so I am currently applying a new image to the machine now to see if fcp has corrupted.
Cheers.

Hi
I am having this exact batch capture problem. I can Capture Now, I just can’t batch capture, it continues to roll past the outpoint, and then freezes up.Did you come up with a solution or work around?
thanks so much

Hi
I just wanted to note that I was able to troubleshoot this problem. The short of it is that FCP 6 was updated to FCP 6.0.4 , but our KONA 3 drivers had not been updated, and were still KONA Driver v. 5.0.Here’s the not from the KONA manual, with the website for upgrades:
AJA KONA 3 Software and Documentation CD-ROM—this CD contains the
software installer to place KONA 3 drivers and the Control Panel on an Apple
Mac. Due to the pace of innovation, it is best to install the latest driver version
from the AJA website:
http://www.aja.com/html/support_kona3_swd.htmlOnce I updated the drivers (to 6.0.1) everything worked great, Batch Capture and all.
hope this helps someone.
thanks
