    Hey Gang,

    Has anyone had any issues using FCP 5 + Tiger with Kona SD or 2 cards? Anyone dealing with large (over 12meg project files) 8-bit Uncompressed projects and FCP 5 & Kona SD or 2 please share your stories.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Not yet, but I do have some issues with the IMX codec and Kona2. Or I should say, it may be an issue with the Kona2 or Final Cut Studio. That has yet to be determined. But with the Uncompressed 8-bit codec, no issues. Have you downloaded the newest drivers – 1.1.1? That may solve your problem if you haven’t.

    Hey Wayne,

    I’m actually I’m still running FCP 4.5 with a Kona SD. I have FCP 5 and Tiger sitting in a box in my suite and I am waiting to buy the Kona 2 card until I hear more feedback from editors who work in projects comprised soley of 8-bit Uncompressed material.

    The real reason I need the upgrade though is to take advantage of the new Xserve RAID driver (only available for Tiger) and I am really hoping they have fixed the large project bug in FCP which causes stuttering/slowdown in the timeline when trimming/sliding or moving clips.

    Any experience with large 8-bit projects? Timeline stutter?

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Cheers,

    Dave
