[Michael Sacci] “Looks like a framerate/pulldown removal issue to me.”
Me too. It looks like you have the wrong frame rate set in your timeline.

[Themis Gyparis] “Will it work ok with Full HD material using FC Studio 3?”
In my book, “full HD” means uncompressed or ProRes HQ. In that case, no.
If you want a powerful, workhorse system that can handle higher end formats, then you really need a Mac Pro tower with a Kona card and a large, very fast drive array.

[Stu Gales] “I Â would like to end up with a final animation that is broadcast quality for the uk.”
That’s very vague. What’s your final deliverable? Your FCP project should be set to that spec, and your Flash project should match it.

[edd maggs] “e.g. SCSI ARRAY>PROJECT>RED RUSHES>DALLIES(DAY01-04)>ROLLS(01-54)>RED FOLDERS (A002_C001_1018NN.RDC etc)”
OK, what I’m suggesting is SCSI ARRAY/PROJECT/RED RUSHES/RED FOLDERS.
By breaking each day etc. into subfolders, you’re adding layers of complexity. It’s too much for FCP’s little media management brain to parse all at once. Simplify the directory structure and you’ll speed things up for yourself.

[Rafael Amador] “I wish I could bring the movie to NY by my self.”
Me too! I’d buy the 1st beer!
[Rafael Amador] “PS; I’ve been only once to NY, but I’ve love it.”
I’m sure you’ll be back.
For years I’ve been dreaming of visiting Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam. Hmm… Maybe a travel show…

[Jeremy Garchow] “I wish AJA would make a multiformat black generator just for fcp ett situations just like this.”
They do, and Piers already has it!
The Gen10 can output both bi & tri-level sync at the same time. Check the dip switches on the bottom and your patching to make sure that you’ve got the proper sync going to the Kona and the deck.

The Kona card plays no role at all in transcoding. It only comes into play when you route a signal directly through it to a monitor, deck or another outboard device.
[Vince Sanchez] “The footage is XDCAM and is ingested as such into our system as HDV sized 1080i 29.97.”
Which of the many flavors of XDCam is this? is it the 25MB/s version? If so, then it’s really the same as native HDV. If it’s any other flavor, then you’re transcoding from one heavily compressed codec to another heavily compressed codec to ProRes. You want to skip that middle compression.

If it’s in QT, it’s in Compressor. You may need to create a new preset or you may just need to find the right tab to display the options you’re looking for, but any codec you see in QT can be used by Compressor.
Also, I think that it’s possible to crop on export from QT Pro. I’m not at my Mac right now, so I can’t check.

Per the Apple website:
“The Final Cut Studio upgrade provides an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 2, Final Cut Studio 1, Production Suite, or any prior version of Final Cut Pro. Academic and Not-For-Resale (NFR) versions are not eligible for upgrade.”
