Did you remember to select all clips in the timeline, right click and select “Make independent clip”, or whatever the phrasing is? That’s typically the case when this happens to me.

Export the page peel as a QT, import it and reverse it.

You should be very concerned if the “tech” doesn’t know what the equipment does or how to do it. That sounds like a recipe for failure to me.
BTW, the Kona 2 can both downconvert and add pulldown for you on the fly.

[Todd Terry] “Chrysler is now out of the leasing biz…”
There’s a chance that Chrysler will soon be out of biz altogether. I applaud your effort to keep them afloat!

[Michael Shive] “If I had the time to set ins and out points for every clip it would work OK and not lose the first few seconds. Does anyone have a good workflow?”
You’ve just answered your own question. You should log the in/out for each shot & batch capture. This is how most professional editors log & capture tapes of all types.

If you cannot use the Log and Transfer tool from within FCP, try using Meg Streamclip.

A single 1TB drive is completely inadequate for this project. You need a large, fast array that can deliver speeds of over 200MB/sec.
And how are you monitoring? to monitor 2k to a broadcast monitor you need a capture card like the Kona 3 or Multibridge.
Why do you need 2k files? Are you delivering for a film transfer? If so, then you should speak to your lab about having them do the edit for you.

First off, animation is not an editing codec. It’s primarily used to move files between platforms with alpha channels.
Second, you don’t say what kind of drive array you’re using, but you’ll need a very big, fast array to work with any flavor of uncompressed 2k. Even ProRes will require a rather large, fast array.
If it were me, I’d work up a workflow involving 2k files in ProRes, and offline proxies at a smaller size (you mention SD PAL, so that would be a logical choice) in either ProRes or DV.

Look up “poster frame” in your FCP manual.

I bought a used Kona 2 off of eBay last year for around $400 or $450. You should be able to find one at around the same price, but you may need to be patient while you wait for one to come up.
