Edit to tape FCP Disappears
Guys
Deadline day and FCP decides to go crazy on me. I can not for the life of me perform an Edit to Tape without FCP disappearing. I have done this hundreds of times but suddenly it stopped working. Happened to me the other day but a reboot fixed it, not today. I have tried every variation of edit to tape ( mastering, editing, insert, assembly) trashed prefs, rebooted, repaired permissions. I am delivering to the broadcaster (CBC) this afternoon. Deliverying on Digibeta M2000, SDI out of Kona. Help anyone!?

Just a suggestion, reinstall the Kona drivers.

Make sure to uninstall first, then reinstall the drivers as Rafael suggests. AJA provides an uninstall utility for the Kona products (AJA Uninstaller.app)
Also, make sure that you are installing the v4 drivers from AJAs website for Final Cut Studio 2.
Here’s the link to v4 Kona2 drivers:

Thanks for the suggestions. Seems the issue is related to ETT using an IN and OUT point, either mastering or editing mode. I exported the sequence segment to a single clip and made a new projects and did the ETT. A second sequence works fine as long as I ETT the entire timeline. Things should be okay, gonna come down to the wire on making the fedex truck, but customer is aware of potential delay. I will trouble shoot more when I get the chance next week. Thanks again

Did you set the in and out in the ETT to window, or did you set the in and out on the timeline and then tell ETT to print in to out? Or did you try both?

Basically I tried all combinations depending on what I was doing. If I tried editing mode, I had IN and OUT on both timeline and ETT window. In mastering mode, IN and OUT on timeline and only an IN set in the ETT window. Turns out the only way I could get the ETT to work was to NOT have an in point on the timeline, to ETT the entire media. So to actually insert a short segment I exported to a single file, brought that into a new sequence and did the ETT of the entire seq. I also had to master an entire hour long version which worked because there was no in point on the timeline. I was in uncompressed 8 bit SD BTW. Anyway, I got the show out, both versions, but as I said, have only seen this once before and it went away after a reboot. Not the case today.
