Totally Lost

Color is a separate application, you seem to be implying that if it works in one place it will work everywhere, that’s is not the case.
Have you setup the Color.app output Preferences to use the Kona Card for output and playback.
This is totally separate from the prefs on the card or in FCP.

Yep, I quit FCP and launched Color separately but still no luck. The AJA guy I have been emailing says it’s a curious thing. Could it be the many users we have on the system mucking things up? I am trying to sign in as faculty but now I am running into permission problems that have nothing to do with this problem. Or maybe it does? Might it only work for 1 account on the machine and not a load of floating accounts? (that’s how IT describes their new login system.
Thanks for the replies! Still struggling to make it work.

Hi there sir. Yep I know it’s a separate app and I meant to say I trashed it’s prefs as well as FCP, and I have ” Video output is set at AJA KonaLHi 1080psf 23.98 10 bit.” in setup room as per the settings, even though when I opened a FCP project with different frame rate and size than yesterday the card played back without any problems, I didn’t even change the Control Panel settings when it was a pain to get it to work yesterday. Please tell me that Kona card doesn’t like mixed frame rates and sizes on the FCP timeline so I can stress the importance to the students of conforming all your footage before editing. Running it by itself and still no luck, only a black frame. All settings are as the AJA guy and previous poster had mentioned. What I don’t get is that After Effects sees it without needing to do anything and at every setting I have tried last night, weird.
Thanks for all your replies!
Still struggling to get this to work.

[keith mcgregor] “Could it be the many users we have on the system mucking things up?”
That was going to be my next guess. Do you have an admin account on that machine? Does it work there?

Well, now the problem is, is that the IT dept won’t give me admin access anymore even though I took care of this place for over 5 years, and I’m still waiting on them to respond (they are very slow, mentally and physically) so I can’t test the admin account, but that would only tell me that their new floating system “for security” is a bad idea, which I have been telling them since they did it. It took them over 6 months to get Maya working right so I should expect no less.
Thanks for your continued patience in this matter. The Cow rocks.

Yes I know, it’s a year later and I just wanted to let others know the problem was with the machine having 2 video cards installed along with the kona. Removing one makes it all work fine.
Reality? What did you make it?
