…wait, when you say you have to “render” the footage – do you have effects? That is, when it’s on the timeline are you getting a green preview line or anything?
Well this method also worked for our AJA Io boxes – and since they’re just dumb hardware, it must be a FCP thing. I know in the BM system preferences, there’s a dialog about 3:2 removal… but have no idea how that works. Your best bet until then it just to capture 30fps, and have Cinema Tools or After Effects strip the 3:2 out
I can’t say for HD… but in SD you make a 23.98 capture setting (duplicating your 10 bit NTSC setting and switching the framerate to 23.98) and then simply capture starting on an “A” frame (A, B, jitter, jitter, D)

well it seems to work fine so far. nothing DOESN’T work that worked before.
I have no idea what “support for close captioning” means or what I can do with it. Once in a blue moon it’d be nice to add CC to a video file instead of sending it out and waiting 12 hours for turnarounf… the manual that comes with the installer is from last year.
Yes, still go by the 10% guidelines when composing, but you kinda have to assume there’s no such thing as “action safe” anymore. Do all your comps and mattes all the way the the edge just to be safe.
do you have the little “quality” switch set to High for your text elements? Does regular footage look ok in AE? It should be just as good looking as Combustion.
I’ve asked this before – I would LOVE for someone to share any setups they’ve got for the 23″. Especially ones that simulate 6500K. I know this isn’t a color critical monitor, but it’d be nice if was closer to looking like all these CRTs.
