Whats with all the rendering?
When I downconvert uncompressed 4:2:2 23.98 HD to NTSC 23.98 to make the file size manageable for offline I cannot playback the footage on the FCP timeline without rendering. When I playback uncompressed HD 23.98 with the presets set to 1080 23.98 no rendering is needed. I have tried setting the sequence, playback, and capture presets to uncompressed NTSC at 29.97, 23.98 with a variety of codecs. Any ideas on how to improve the workflow. All the rendering is a bummer just to play the clips in realtime.

Hi,
Instead of individually tweaking the different Final Cut Pro setting, just use the provided easy setups. All the ones we install with the drivers start with “Blackmagic”. If you’re playing an NTSC 23.98 clip, use the one that says “Blackmagic NTSC 23.98 – 8 bit / 10 bit / JPEG”. Once you’ve selected it, create a new sequence and drop the down converted clip into that.
