Thanks again Andy…

So I took my SD clip into compressor and upconverted it to HDV 1080i 60.

When dropped it onto my HDV timeline it requires no rendering and matches up with the other native HDV clips (frame size wise)

Although when the upconverted clip is played in the viewer and on the timeline, at first the audio and video is synced but then quickly becomes un-synced. The video speeds up while the audio remains normal.

I then exported this upconverted clip to quicktime and viewed it through the QT player. The clip is then synced and normal.

What would cause FCP to mess up sync? Should I upconvert differently? If so, how?

Any insight?

Thanks,

Found this online and it quickly remedied my issue.

Translation:
If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and Final Cut Pro, this error message may pop up from time to time. Mac OS X has a feature called Spotlight that runs in the background, indexing the files on your system to improve file searches at a later time. This error message can occur if Spotlight is indexing a folder that contains files Final Cut Pro is rendering.

Yes, the encoding settings in DVDSP are unnecessary, thanks.

The Macpros these programs are edited on do not have Kona Cards. But you’re suggestion is appreciated!

Thanks guys,

…and this would fix this because…

I don’t want to buy something else if I don’t have any prior knowledge of what it can do..

Bob,
Thanks for your advice it was very helpful. Although, I do have some questions still…

I have a UVW1800 and a Kona-LH and bought a Horita BG-50 and hooked up everything exactly the way you described with no luck. After looking through the BG-50’s manual, there is a paragraph that states “The BG-50 will not output a blackburst signal if there is no input signal.” I then input a signal from one of my DVCAM decks into the BG-50’s “video in” and my ref video issue was solved. (monitoring the UVW1800 was synced not off the screen)
Even though it looks as though everything had been solved my UVW1800 still gives me a message that the Ref Signal is not standard and that I need a standard signal.

What would cause this, and why?

Thanks again for your very helpful post!
