I’ve already tried this, with no luck.
The funny thing is that it is happening on several computers connected to the xSAN, so I think it might be some network/server issues? -
When you are connected to SDI SUPER OUT, as mentioned, make sure to have the switch “CHARACTER” turned on. You will find this in front of the deck, underneath the front panel.

About the settings in the last question: I was refering to Victor Perez comments on XSAN settings for compressed media (as far as I understood him).
The reason why we have a few “non-technical” assistants is that we combine the positions of being a editor assistant and being a person transcribing/logging the material.

I´ve never been working offline in FCP before, but I´ve had a few harddisk crash and have had to rebatch a lot of material before. So when it comes to tape, this works most of the time.
Something that was disturbing when we still were on tape was that FCP doesnt care about timecodes. In my perfect world the TC is holy. Timecode is the only thing you can realy rely on. IN point and OUT point of a clip. What I remember FCP was doing if it found complications on the tape (dropped frames or drop in TC or whatever) was to just change IN and OUT point of the clip to something else later in the TC. This didnt really help much and you of course lost the original IN/OUT and had to get it from a project file backup.
My experience is that reconnecting in FCP works very fine, if you keep a good routine on clip naming (short titles, no symbols, no spaces and so on). But if you´re making mistakes here, everything gets complicated. Any quick recommendations on how to keep this work right?
Is there anyway to automate the Media Manager transcoding? Is it possible to make a Watch Folder or something, so that it will be easier for the editing assistants to digitize (not all of them are all too good with technical operations).
I am not too familiar with the XSAN system we have as we just installed it, and the computer guy in our company is on holidays anyway. Where do I find these settings on compressed material?
Thanks for so much thoughts.
Sorry all FCP-lovers. When I´m on deadline I just happen to miss Avid a lot.

Which means what exactly? I am only capturing from FireWire which means I have to choose the exact frame rate DV50 or DV25 when capturing.
When I do this- what will actually happend when I try to put both clips on the same timeline? And can I work like this?

I am working on Avid Xpress Pro 5.7.7 but will likely upgrade to Avid Media Composer 3 in a couple of weeks.

It’s an ordinary Blackmagic DeckLink Card, PCI Express.
I’ve checked out features in the DeckLink Control Panel itself, but it doesnt seems to have any of these features.

Any idea what specific settings that would make FCP be able to handle this? I’m on Digibeta and DVCProHD.

What is your crashing problem with Encore about? You’re using QuickTime References? Well, then you should add inn the Audio tracks not from the reference it self but from a stand alone file (recomending AC3) and Encore won’t crash.
I don’t recomend letting Encore encode anything to MPEG-2 anyway, but if this is the way you do it, I only wanted you to know that Encore will crash when using QT Reference with both Audio and Video.

Thanks- that helped a bit. Now I’m not having trouble with Avid going on hang-up. I can use Avid with the camera connected without problems. I still have problems with preview- the machine hangs, but in an more moderate way then before. Strange-
