    Problem. Log & Capture to ProRes giving me grey screen freezes. SnowLeopard, FCP 6.06, Kona LHe-Driver 7.1, MAcProQuadCore 10.6.2-11GB RAM Capturing from PVW2800 BetaSP. Only will work in DV50 right now, freezes when switched to ProRes422. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Most likely is that your drive system is too slow. This is a common problem. Do a search in the FCP forum for more information.

    Hi Thanks for the response, but I don’t think so. Running an HDPro from CalDigit and having no issues at all with HD through Log & Transfer. ONLY happens when doing a Log & Capture from my beta deck and when I select ProRes422 as the digitizing codec. DV50 works fine. Is there an incompatibility with the New ProRes codecs and FCP 6.06?

    [Tom Chartrand] “Is there an incompatibility with the New ProRes codecs and FCP 6.06?”

    You shouldn’t have the new ProRes codecs if you are on FCP 6.06. The new codecs are in FCP7.

    DId you uninstall the drivers using the AJA uninstall utility and reinstall the drivers?

    Hi Jeremy,

    Thanks for the insight. I didn’t un-install, but got this response back from AJA support (quickly, i might add) and it seems to be working again:

    Sounds like corrupt QT plugin prefs. Go to Users > Library > Preferences > trash Quicktime Preferences and com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist

    With reference to our driver’s influence on this issue, it does not appear to be connected. The Pro Res codec stability is all FCP/Apple. We simply point to it from within our presets.”

    Thanks to all who viewed and hope this helps someone else.

    Please uninstall the drivers with the utility, then reinstall your drivers.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Thanks! Ran the utility and I’m finding myself in a startup loop. Any thoughts?

    So you ran the uninstaller and now your computer won’t start up? Sorry, don’t know what a start up loop is.

    How old is your macpro? Is it pre 2008?

    This is so crazy! The un-install utility seemed to work. It’s boots fine without my CalDigit HDPro, sees the prores codec and doesn’t crash. Wanted to test it with the HDPro and now I cant even get to the Apple on bootup. Have had intermittent issues over the last two months but always up & running after a couple of tries.

    I’m flummoxed!
