ProResHQ sequence question
I’ve got some beautiful clips recorded in Apple ProResHQ (1920 x 1080i 29.97 @ approx 25MB/sec 24-bit audio). They play back just fine in real time through my Kona LHi card. But when I try to drop them into a matching sequence, FCP shows that they need to render to play back. I’ve gone through a half dozen times checking the sequence settings, setup, making new sequences, etc but FCP won’t let them drop un-rendered into a sequence. I even used Media Manager to re-compress new copies but get the same result.
Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I’m starting to think I’ve got a bug. Many thanks!

Something doesn’t match. They might look the same, but there might be one SMALL difference, like the sequence set to FIELD ORDER NONE, or some other field order that doesn’t match your clips. Can you post pics of the Sequence and Clip settings?

Thanks for asking. Here are a few jpegs. Please note that I’ve tried just the video (without audio). So it’s somewhere in my video settings (or a bug). Many thanks

How do they play back in real time thru the card if when you drop them on the timeline, you need to render? Do you mean from the Viewer?
Everything seems to match up fine. What hard drive do you have these stored on?

Hi Shane – Yes, when I play them from my viewer through the Kona LHi they look and sound perfect. But when I insert them into a matching sequence, FCP tells me they need to be rendered.
FWIW When I change my sequence’s RT render settings to “unlimited” they do play back in real time but with the orange render bar, so they still need to be rendered.
I’ve left a message with AJA tech support and will share the solution when/if it finally comes.
Thanks

Oh yes- you asked about the drive they are on. They are on an internal SATA dedicated to media, but I get the same result from my RAID.
Best

Use the AJA Uninstaller and uninstall and then reinstall the proper drivers.

KONA DRIVERS cause FCP to want to render the media?

Video drivers would cause FCP to behave incorrectly, yes. Not necessarily just Kona drivers. It’s a system where one thing often depends on another.
