FCP 5 wishy washy

[Tunaking]

Full install. Tiger. No problems.

I’ve edited HDV, multicam, 10-bit uncompressed HD and SD, DV, DV50.

Working with Kona 2 and Xserve RAID.

It’s working fine here. No problems (sluggish J-K-L of course) but that’s it.
Very stable with DecklinkPro, no crashes with FC5. Two crashes with Motion, sync problems with Decklink drivers and AfterEffects, but FC5 is almost perfect,

The main thing to do is:

1) Clean Install of OS
and
2) Clean Install of FCP / Creative Suite.

I bet the ones with the problems did not do that.
Even though it takes time. It saves a lot of headaches.

You can hear the audio in the log and capture window if you turn on the “preview” button in the Clip settings tab in the L&C window…

Steve, you’ve hit the nail on the head CLEAN INSTALL… if you don’t do this, ESPECIALLY if you going to Tiger you aren’t going to be happy don’t think.

In every case I’ve read about here, and in Apple’s forum, when problems like the ones described here show up it’s becase the install wasn’t a clean one.

ANY time you go to a new OS, it’s time for an erase and install of a startup disk. Doesn’t even have to be the same one you’ve been using at all. A second internal or FireWire drive works fine for this… installing FCS on 10.4.1 cleanly really makes a difference.

But you CAN’T hear it in the Edit to Tape window. So if you want to make a quick buzz through and confirm audio went down…. you can’t. Little things that used to work…they don’t anymore.

Have you made that work Jerry? I tried it on a couple of machines and didn’t have much luck with it.

[Tom Wolsky]

Sounds like an AJA problem. I haven’t seen anything like that. What do they say?

[Tom Wolsky]

What’s that mean, I have to separate the bins manually? What’s the layout and what happens when you create it, apply it? FCP always had problems with some layouts, overlapping windows, cross monitor windows. I haven’t seen one that’s bin specific.

I’m not having any trouble hearing audio thru the computer’s speakers with the preview button on with a Kona 2 setup or direct from a DSR-11…
