Hi guys

Did an upgrade from FCP 4.5 to 5 + CineWave to Kona LS

Experienced an increase in contrast, when rendering using AJA Kona 2Vuy codec for the sequence

This affect any kind of render, either transition or filter

System Info :

PM G4 Dual 1.42Ghz
1.5GB RAM
Kona LS + KL Box
ATTO UL3D

OS X 10.3.9
QT 7.0.3
FCP 5.0.3
AJA Kona LS 1.1.4
ATTO 3.2.0 (for OS X 10.3.9)

May I know if there’s a workaround to this ?

Hi

It will be great if AJA can update the “AJA Config Guide” regularly to reflect the changes of the drivers + Mac OS X + QuickTime supported

Cheers

Hi Kathy

If your timeline render status bar is a anything other than grey when there’s no effects on the clip

then you might want to check the Field Domainance in the timeline settings

Make sure its Upper Field for PAL Uncompressed sequences

Managed to resolved my issue by changing this settings

Hi

Thanks for the advice

Wondering if there was a codec-only installer for non-Kona hardware + non-FCP Macs doing graphics + animation + compositing work

I was setting up a Kona LS as a capture station for a graphics department, when I realised the other Macs which do not have Kona + FCP, do not have the Apple Uncompressed codecs

Guess Apple will have to come up with a codec-only installer in this case

Hi Wally

I posted in FCP, Blackmagic & AJA forums to share this piece of info

Btw I’m referring to the Uncompressed 10bit & 8bit PAL sequence presets in FCP 5.0.2

If you are using AJA Io (all favours), you should be using the Apple presets, if I’m not wrong

The 2 systems I encountered this problem is running AJA IoLD hardware

System Config :

OS X 10.3.9

QT 7.0.1

FCP 5.0.2

AJA Io driver 2.0

Duncan : I have not tried the stuff you mentioned

Thanks for sharing the info with us

Cheers
Ben
