Premiere – turn Kona output off?
Sorry on the learning curve at the steep end – another post – but a quick one:
Is it possible to turn Kona output off temporarily? According to the manual this is accomplished in playback settings inside the sequence settings menu – but the Kona software appears to have hijacked this page with its own menu.
Spent ages getting it to work (and it does) – now I can’t turn it off!
Thanks,
Ken.

… in fact I can’t see how to turn Kona output either off or on in Premiere, retrospectively, once a sequence has been created.

Ken,
Once you have started an AJA sequence, The video in that sequence will always go out to the card. There is no way to shut it off.

My issue is the Kona output slowing down the responsiveness of the timeline – apologies I thought I’d mentioned that – but it was in another post. Otherwise, a great idea!
Best,
Ken.

Solution:
read this elsewhere – tested it out and it works very well – so for the archive:
To improve edit performance using Premiere and Kona – edit in a non Kona Sequence, like ProRes (for now), then drop this as a nested sequence into a Kona sequence. This way one can effectively turn the Kona output ON and OFF by switching between the sequences during editing. Fast, effective, and no need to re-render when switching to Kona output.

Are there any plans to change this? It’s very simple to do this in FCP and even Motion.

see my post below – for now you can do this by nesting the non-Kona sequence into a Kona sequence – and jumping back and forth – works well – and no need to re-render for the Kona sequence.

Yeah I know the trick. I’m just hoping this is something that can be addressed. Every other program I have that uses Kona – AE, FCP, Motion, Nuke – can all easily turn the Kona on or off.
