  • Sync issues with Kona LHe and Final Cut

    Posted by Jason Szabo on April 1, 2008 at 7:27 pm

    System:

    Mac OS 10.5.2
    2.8Ghz quad xeon
    8 gigs of Ram
    Final Cut Pro 6.0.2
    Quicktime 7.4.1
    Drives are G-tech Graid, 3 TB
    Aja Kona LHe
    working with DVCPRO-HD60i
    Captured from P2
    NO Blackburst

    I assembled a 6 minute sequence of talking heads yesterday. When I went to work on it this morning the sync was a little soft. Over the course of 5 minutes it drifted to almost 2 full seconds out of sync.

    I’m working I’ve seen similiar posts but no solutions have worked for me. The audio is monitoring through the Kona, not the mac. I reseated the Kona into the 2nd slot from the bottom, when I came in it was 2nd from the top.

    The sequence I have is extremely basic, no effects yet, just straight cuts. The quicktime source files run fine.

    help!

    Uninstall the drivers using the unistall utility that installed in the Kona application directory. Reboot. Fix permissions. Reinstall the latest drivers. Report back here if that fixed it.

    Thanks for reporting back Jason, always good to hear success stories. BTW, the Kona drivers become corrupted from time to without reason, so you will most likely see this again sometime in the future, so keep the solution committed to memory.
