Judging by Intel’s chip roadmap, there won’t be a 64 bit chip based on the Core Duo archetecture before December. Unless Apple decides to go with the Xeon chip, which would not be low powered and therefore couter to their reasons for swithing in the first place, I wouldn’t expect a “Pro” Intel Mac before then.

On the other hand, I understand that running FCP on Intel systems is siginficantly faster than on current PPC systems.

If the AJA fix doesn’t work. try using a Keyspan USB adapter instead of the RS-422 port built into the Io. This has fixed a similar issue with my Kona and Decklink cards.

BTW, Apple software engineers claim this is a “hardware” issue, even though it happens on different hardware. Go figure.

Is the font Opentype? Many of these will not work properly in AE.

By any chance did you start this in Final Cut Pro 4.5 and now you are finishing in FCP 5? Also, do the time code breaks happen in the same place or do they seem random?

I’m not trying to lay blame, but at the same time, this is most definitely a bug in Final Cut Pro 5. How, you may ask, can I be ss sure? Very simple: The only thing I changed was upgrading from FCP 4.5 to 5. OS, hardware, drivers are all the same, and the problem exists on systems which don’t even have a Wacom Tablet.

Setting the offset only corrects sync between canvas and client monitors… which isn’t this issue.

Thanks for all the help. I removed the video card completely from one system, and the problem did not go away, so it is not a Kona issue as reported above. I have confirmed however, the connection between the Wacom/Mouse and shuttling. I have reported this as a bug to some folks on the inside at Apple. Hopefully, we will get some kind of response.
