Thanks for getting back to me, Jeremy. I talked to Rudy at AJA today and he talked me thru it. It seems like the Quicktime Prefs got corrupted. I read someplace that if you have AJA VTR Xchange open at the same time as FCP, things get screwed up. It seems that FCP and Xchange both use Quicktime and if FCP is open then corruption occurs. Rudy had me com.apple.quicktine.plugins.preferences.plist, the Quicktime Preferences and the com.diaquest.AJAVTRexchange.plist. That seems to have worked.
I don’t get why FCP doesn’t read HD SDI timecode. That was the crux of my problem. When I brought the clips in straight into FCP no timecode was read, even though in the AJA Control Panel I could see them rolling. Maybe that’s a request that should be made to Apple. Wonder if they ever read this board?
In any case thatnks again. This is the first time I’ve posted to this forum and I see that you’ve helped loads of folks.
