So after a couple of years since making this post originally, and developing more as an editor, I’ve realized that it’s not a problem, it’s how it should be, and I’d have it no other way. It’s frame inclusive, how else could you mark an in and an out at the playhead, and have 1 and not 0?

Just remember to back off a frame and mark your out. Make it reflex. You’d have so many more problems if it was an exclusive out point.

Okay. right now my sequence is 1080p Prores at 23.98.

Can I run the sequence through compressor, or would you recommend that I drop the cut into an NTSC timeline?

Thanks for the pages in the manual. I guess I’m losing my mind because I never thought it was an issue before. There’s no way to turn that off right?

I think what’s happened though is that the playhead is offset. For instance, if I position the playhead at a cut and hit O, I expect an out point now at the location of the cut, on the playhead. What’s happening here is that the marker out is one frame to the right, into the next clip, not on the cut.

Also, looking at the top of the playhead, there is a highlighted region in the time code area that takes up one frame to the right of the playhead. Marking out snaps to the end of the region, rather than to the playhead.

I’ve been on FCP for years and this came up yesterday. I returned from vacation, turned the computer on, and found the timeline behaving like this. I’ll also note that X works fine to mark a clip. it just won’t let me mark an accurate out.

I’m only talking about outputs. The analog RCA outputs from the K3 box.

I had a dead channel on a brand new mixer which I swapped out for a new Mackie. It’s working great.

Do you have any ideas regarding my other question about audio track playback?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I am familiar with the Kona Control Panel and I’ve followed your instructions for testing with color bars. Unfortunately I don’t have an SDI source so I can’t run a passthrough. Both RCA jacks are working fine, and it looks like this stereo problem is really coming from my mixer and not the Kona.

But in running the test I found another issue. I could not hear the color bars tone in the viewer unless I set the Monitor Audio to 3-4 in the Analog Out tab. I added tracks to the timeline and found that I can’t monitor more than two tracks over the box at any one time. Is there a FCP setting to output all tracks as stereo, or is this a setting in the Control Panel?

Thanks for your help,
Adam

I’m still troubleshooting the problem and found some more information:

My setup goes from the Kona card to the K3 box. I then go out of that with dual SDIs to Blackmagic’s HDLink that sends video to an Apple 23in display. I was hoping to do audio out of the K3 box but I just tried plugging into the HDLink and found the same problem, SDI is only carrying the right side audio, and the RCAs on the box are probably fine. Is there a setting I should be looking for to get the card to output audio properly?
