    Posted by Don Wilson on June 25, 2007 at 7:20 am

    Hey guys,

    All has been well. Working on a feature for quite a while. Have updated to FCp 6 for Color and have opened my feature sequence in new software. All the video is playing fast. Audio and video obviously go out of sync. The timeline does not sync with the audio i.e the timeline scrolls faster than the audio. This is causing me serious grief. Sure hope someone has an answer.

    So I start a new project and import some of my old footage into it and it’s all out of sync and rubbery. Sure wanted to use this new version for color etc.

    Don,

    More info needed… What type of footage? Easy Setup? etc, etc, etc…

    Did you update your Kona drivers? Did you uninstall the old ones first?

    I’m having real issues with Kona3 and FCP6 on a MacPro.

    I appear to have solved this by trashing all things FCP……..i.e. prefs, plist, ..anything I could find related EXCEPT the actual install. I then re-converted my sequence and all is fine. Took hours of problem solving and testing.

    I am finding that when I go into the log and transfer for P2 import that it is VERY volitle and crashes more than not. Just finished a big Cine Expo presentation with 10 bit uncompressed HD and had nightmare problems and this was at an Apple beta house.

    Love the way FCP edits but it sure is not very robust.

    Like what? We have two Kona 3 systems running 4 weeks and 2 weeks now with zero issues. Did you install the Kona v4 drivers?

    That’s a must anytime you install a new version of FCP. Actully all of that should have been removed during the install and certainly when you installed the new Kona v.4 drivers.

    Solid and robust here going on one month on one Kona 3 system and 2 weeks on another Kona 3 system. SD and HD running here along with some huge H.264 files that would have certainly crashed FCP 5.1.4 in the past.

    Walter,

    Sorry, I posted in other threads but I cannot get multi-cam viewing to work right. 7 DVCPorHD streams plays back about 1-2 frames per second. No matter how the I set the quality settings it doesn’t playback correctly. Also the analog component out doesn’t have the same quality.

    I have projects that were started in 5.1.4 so I can reboot to 5.1.4 and multi-cam and monitoring is just fine. Same files, same system.

    Seems like 6.0.1 fixed the problem. One down about 24,000 to go!
