FCP/Kona LHi funkiness

Start a new ProRes timeline and edit in that instead of XDcam. It will be much smoother. Put a slug in between gaps (use the fill with slug command).

make sure you have the very latest drivers and updated firmware (you will have to manually update the firmware). The latest is 7.5.1. not 7.1. Here’s a link to the NDD drivers.

There is new Kona software you might try. Version 7.5.1 and I believe it comes with new firmware, so you’ll have the flash the firmware. (If you’ve never done it before, it’s very easy and AJA includes a very good readme on how to do it).

You might also try trashing your preferences. Download Pref Manager from Digital Rebellion. I’ve seen the green flashes before. I believe it’s a graphics card issue. I would restart FCP to fix it.

Regarding sync, in your playback settings, have you set the frame offset to 0? It defaults to 4.

Thanks chaps. I’ll try the new firmware and drivers when I get a chance…

Forgot to say it is a prores TL. I try and avoid XDCam like the plague.

As to the sync loss on black though – seriously, do AJA expect us to fill in every gap in the TL with slug? Not a satisfactory solution IMHO – kinda makes it a ‘linear’ NLE dont it? Is this an FCP thing or a bug with Kona? My BM eclipse is perfectly happy with black in the TL.

Try regular ProRes instead of LT. And update the drivers and firmware.

If you’re still having issues, call AJA.
