FCP 5 with AJA Io

[Darren Mostyn]

I have Aja IO on FCP5 with Tiger (plus update)Dual 2.7 G5, 2.5Gb Ram. I installed the new AJA drivers from web site. Box haven’t had any problems so far. This is a new install so early days but I haven’t had a single crash yet and I have been thrashing it for a few days now.

The only problem we have seen is if you are using graphics (PSD, TIFF, JPEG maybe others) and you add a drop shadow the graphic will vibrate even after rendering.

I am also getting bad video when I render any speed changes. The rendered clip looks like its been put through a heavy blur filter. It actually looks sharper and better before rendering. I am hoping this is just an IO beta driver problem and not a general FCP 5 problem!

Hi guys,
Will try mine (PAL settings) when I get back on Saturday and let you know if it gives the jitters! Away on a job at the moment.

The shaking of the graphics was because the Sequences are set to Normal. If we use Fastest it’s a good!

I can’t go to Tiger yet because of our SAN. Does anyone run this combo on 10.3.9? So far everyone here seems to be on Tiger already. Anyone?

[Bill Portune]

I’m still running 10.3.9 (not brave enough to go to Tiger just yet), and all is running smoothly.

I get the same results in Pal. Fastest seems to give the bset results.
