Insert Edits Over Run
I’ve seen this issue come up in posts from a few months ago. But there was no resolution that I found.
Using FCP 6.0.3, MacPro Quad core 2.8 GHz with 6 Gb ram. Master to DVCPro HD AJ-HD1400 using Kona 3 to control and output. Mac OS 10.5.3
I can lay off the entire episode, either Assemble edit on a raw tape or Insert on a striped tape. I know that I have the mastering setting correct. When inserting a video fix in the middle of an act the inpoint seems to be dead accurate but the outpoint cuts in 5 frames of black. This happens in editing or mastering. This is driving me crazy. I have to lay off to the end of the act for any little video fix.

I never got this to work correctly. I have the Panasonic 1400 and whenever I try an Insert Edit, it will always run at least three to 10 frames over of black.
If you’re getting 5 seconds of black, then that’s in the Mastering Settings, uncheck the black for the end. But this did not solve it completely for me.
I just gave up and haven’t gone back to testing this more.

Thanks, although it is not what I was hoping to hear. I am a little suspicious of the device control in the easy setup. It calls for a Sony VTR A. Doesn’t that seem weird? It is a panasonic deck. Never had this problem with the aja IO controlling a BetaSP or a DSR1500A. But with the Kona and the DVCPro deck it’s a totally different animal.

You can switch over to Panasonic control, but it didn’t much help here. Never did ask Panasonic about that one.

a bit late, but maybe this will help someone else if not shed some more light on this issue…
if you are inserting to tape…in editing mode inside edit to tape…and you get black frames at the end of your edit…check your device control preset…if you have anything set in your playback offset…change it to 0…from my tests, it offsets your edit, leaving the edit points on tape correct, but your edit points in your sequence offset by whatever you have set for…leaving black either before (negative number) or after (positive number) your edit points…
also, if you are using a panasonic deck, you should use a Panasonic preset…if there isn’t one, choose the closest preset, check the offset, and do a couple quick tests before you go and possibly ruin someone’s master, :)!
