    Hello Adam,

    What problem are you having? Is the footage displaying with wavy lines etc? It could be that t he progressive signal is not being picked up by the Sony monitor. You may have to do a tweak on the output to the monitor frequencey.

    I’have the same probleme,

    Under final cut (5.1.4), in dvcpro hd 720p50, I have an image, when I srub on the time line with the mouse, in pause, I have the image. But in playback, the image is fixed at the in point of reading, then at the end point when I stop the playback

    Hello Robin,

    This does sound very un-usual, I have not used DVCPRO HD, what connection does it link from? Is it SDI to your monitor from the Blackmagic?

    Have you tried a test with a Mini DV clip on a DV timeline to see if you get the same problem of the footage playbacvk buffering the first and last frame?

    It could be a issue where the project preset it not outputting the file correctly, I had a similar problem and re-installing Premiere fixed the problem.

    What frame rate did you use?

    If it’s 25 fps then only a AJA card would help in FCP 5.1.x.
    With FCP 6 you can use the normal 720p50 output setting with BMD.

    If you shot 50p then you need to use a XML hack to get this working in FCP. Google for “720p50 xml” to find out more about it.
