There is a field problem with all DV codecs. you need to flip the fields, or just give the PhotoJPEG footage to the editor and have them render in onto there timeline. That should automatically flip the fields. If not, Export it to UNComp then to DVCPRO50 in QT Player.

What do you mean by “Out of Sync”? How many frames? or did it start in sync and then loose sync after a few minutes?

You can capture HDV 720/24 via firewire using the ease setup under the file menu. Then transcode to any format you’d like via compressor or QTp.

Do you know what deck it is? And HDCAMSR is in every way overkill for the project. Are you mastering for a film layoff? If I were to do this I’d upscale the final locked film to a 10bit uncompressed 1080P timeline via the CPU before attempting the layoff. Are you going from deck to deck via the AJA control panel for up-convert, and trying to make the insert that way? What is your clock source?

Believe it or not FCP6 is not required for prores to work. I had a project a few months back that was a QT prores deliverable but at the last min needed an edit on fcp 5.1. If on the FCP 6 mac, you go into “System/library/Components” and copy ProRes422.component to the 5.1 mac you can then open the prores footage in QT, convert it to say uncompressed, or animation codec, and edit away.

I would switch the monitors to the opposite ports on the card and see if this fixes the issue.

What you are seeing is that 10.4 has streamlined working with RW disks. No longer do you have to use disc utility to black a RW disc. You can do it in the finder, and system profiler is telling you that you can, like it indicated disc-burn support.

If you find a shot that looks natural in the preformance, where you have good skin tones, but still needs a little corection (say too blue) then make that corection and aply that corection to the whole film so that you have “balanced to normal”. But, if the intent of the lighting is to be “colorful” so I would leave it as it was shot. If you realy must corect the whole thing then do so. If the changes in light happen over a few frames or a “logical” cut then use the razor blade and make a cut. If it happens gradually over time, then you have to Keyframe the color correction (this is a real pain). I once shot a play out doors as the sun set and had to pull CC over an hour broadcast.

You got it right. Sony will not play Pani over FW, and the reverce is true. Pani is coming out with a DVCPRO deck (it was at nab) in the $5000 range that can play DVcam over FW, it might be better for you. The 1500 is a good DV deck, but I can see the end of DV coming, heck I have not tuched the stuff for over two years now.
