[gary adcock] “First off
If this is 1080 10bit content there is not anything real time for transitions and effects and this sounds as if your computer is not up to snuff to handle the content without fully rendering it out.
Graphics and lower 3rds require more horsepower from the RT engine and unless you are working on one heck of a machine and storage array this is going to happen every time.When laying 1080 10bit files to tape, I take the time to render the entire file out as a self contained movie file and then lay that file to tape – I have never had an issue with that process “
This was 8 bit 1080. Everything was rendered as a self contained movie file. I didn’t have any problems with dropped frames only the “pulsating” red channel outputting as a 29.97 sequence with Kona2 adding
the 2:3 pulldown. The same sequence played just fine at 23.98. The Kona2 2:3 pulldown is what I was having issues with. This isn’t the first 1080 project this system is done, all others work just fine. This is however the first 23.98 1080 project. -
OK it’s working now and I don’t have a clue what I did to make it work. I swear I must have tried to do this a half a dozen times today with no luck. Oh well on with the edit.

[uncompressed] “you upconvert on ingest through SDI. if you dont want to rent a deck, you could even use an SDI card on another machine into the kona 2 or 3.”
I’ve gotten that far. I’m coming into the Kona2 SDI from the deck, but I haven’t figured out where the upconvert happens. I’ve changed my settings in FCP to match my “destination” resolution 1080i but I just get a blue screen. When I change the capture settings to the native input 525i 29.97 8 or 10 bit uncompressed and can capture just fine.

The total size of the drive is 1.2Tb. It’s in Raid 3 so that brings the capacity down to 930Gb. I have tried a batch with the DVCPro HD settings and it does work. I guess FCP is looking for WAY more drive space than it needs to do the batch for 1080i uncompressed. I wish there was a setting to change that because it now means I need to manually capture each clip, what a waste of time.

Add to the previous post that I’m editing short form promos and programs, nothing over 15 minutes and most projects last about 3 weeks.

[Rob Forsythe] “8. Make sure your Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices (tab) > Mirror on Desktop > must be CHECKED. (If not, playing video will not appear in the Canvas.) “
This was the problem! I had “Different Output for Edit to Tape/Print to Video” unchecked. As soon as I saw it I knew that was the problem. Just tried print to video and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your help.
