Hey Joey,
I’ll try that one. Just wondering – why do you think it needs the legacy gamma?

I bought an EX1 about 2 weeks ago and it was DOA – the focus stopped working completely within using it for about an hour. Rule Broadcast in Boston exchanged it for me, no problem (they even gave me a loaner to get through a shoot). I highly recommend them.

My new one is working fine so far with firmware 1.03.

Thanks, Chris. Yes, I know that DVCPRO HD doesn’t have square pixels, but somehow I got the idea in my head that I needed to use this setting. It’s been working for me up to now, anyway! I’ll try your suggestions.
Thank you!

Thanks Jack for your reply. I tried to uninstall the keylight but that’s not offered as an option with the installer. The thing is, I don’t actually have duplicates of any of the plug ins that AE thinks are duplicated. It’s a brain teaser…

No, I’m exporting as DVCPRO HD, 720 x 1280, square pixels.

I’ll try that one….

Thanks!

My problem is simply activating the upgrade I paid so much money for. I’ve never had such trouble installing software in all these years. I’m sure if I buy the upgrade yet again it will work but I’m looking to go elsewhere.

Hi David,
Thanks again for hanging in there with me on this. Yes, I do have a DSR 45 and I’m using the built in firewire ports on the Mac Pro. I had this problem once before with my Mac Book, but it cleared up after I switched the firewire cable going to the deck. I worked successfully for a long time using this setup (the on board firewire ports) – is this a known problem? I haven’t heard about that one. Without using firewire ports how can you edit with a laptop?

I’ll try using the deck and firewire drive with the laptop to see if it’s having the same problem.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks, David. Tried it, no good. Any other ideas out there? As soon as I plug in the deck, I get the “device removal” warning and my firewire 800 drive goes offline.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks guys. This progressive frams via ntsc thing is confusing. Anyway, I’m still not sure how you get 30p out of the Kona. The control panel doesn’t have a setting for 720 30p. If I put a 30p clip into a 30p sequence in FC, it doesn’t play out of the kona.
Thanks,
Bob

Interesting – but that doesn’t explain the conflict I seem to be having. I’ve basically lost all firewire editing functionality with my system (fortunately, I’ve got a kona on one of my systems, so I’m not totally out of business). Since no one else has responded to this post I’m guessing that it’s a fairly uncommon occurrence. Maybe my deck’s firewire port is kaput.
Thanks for your help!
