have you heart of sony?

The one thing that confuses me is that you say the audio is behind the picture of the FSI.

Normally LCD’s cause at least a 1 frame delay so your audio out from the XLR’s should be 1 frame ahead?

Yes and the only 2 solution are: if the FSI compensates the audio out from the embedded SDI signal internally, or as you say a video delay adjustment for the Kona (as Aja has in the ioHD drivers, which I have)

and your correct the audio offset in FCP only adjust the canvas to external video delay. It does NOT adjust video-audio sync issues within external signals.

can’t blame them if they do.

just don’t miss the return flight 🙂

There are actually NEW buttons in the button list and keyboard layout. I only had a quick play but it looks it’s working, though I’m not sure I fully understand it yet.

I would export a reference or self contained Quicktime file from your sequence in FCP.
Then load this file into Compressor.
As for frame size (anamorphic as your master or full frame) it then depends if you want a NTSC DVD or Quicktime file. For the quicktime it also depends what format you want. Can’t suggest anything without further info.
As for the frame rate conversion choose 60i (29.97) and make sure that the frame control tab is set to on and the Rate conversion is set to Better (Frame Blending).
As the other guys mentioned the result is not as good as going through a high end converter but I have send plenty of DVD’s to American festivals (Documentary) and never had a problem. Try it and see if you’re happy with the result. Anything higher than the ‘Better’ setting takes to long to render and the results are not that dramatically better anyway.

Hope this helps.

I do not know the answer, but this seems to be a very strange problem I thought I let you know what I found when I googled HPPlugin:

https://forum.skype.com/lofiversion/index.php/t64011.html

This threat is skype related, but curiously in his crash log it list a HPPlugin too..

Have you set both audio in AND out to internal via the system pref? This is really the only thing I can think of as it seems that the HPPplugin is not Hewlet Packard related.

Hope I’m not wasting your time.

Sorry to hear!

Hope they will not make you the scapegoat later!

Stay sane 🙂

[Jacob Murray] “-Do nothing now except establish the master frame rate, which will be 23.98. “
Well you have to test everything to make sure it’ll work.

[Jacob Murray] “-Copy and paste the current sequences into new sequences at the proper frame rate and clean them up. “
No, copy and paste is not accurate enough and also creates new instances of your clips and will destroy the current master relationship. Just open (make a copy for safety) and change the seq setting. then you can adjust what you need to adjust in place.

[Jacob Murray] “Continue editing with all sequences set to the same frame rate, regardless of what the original format is “
And frame size! Yes I at least would look into this possibility. Somebody stuffed up big time setting up this project and a producer not willing to pick up the pieces now sounds a bit like a cheapy to me, so I would try to make it as easy as possible for myself 🙂

[Jacob Murray] “When ready to online, consolidate the media and convert those clips only to 23.98. “
When converting frame rates you have to make sure that the length of any given clip will stay the same. Then what you call the boundaries will be the same.

Take a night or day and test the theory before you commit. If it doesn’t work or you not confident, convert everything to 24 at a fix frame size (SD or HD) and you will have a certain outcome, but now a lot of work on your hand…

I know everybody else is saying convert everything to one frame rate and frame size
BUT
why not not leave all as is and only establish one editing format and frame rate.

My thinking here is: In the final edit you’ll only have x-amount of a certain source. If you convert all your current source footage you might be spending many nights for actually no benefit 🙂

But if you establish only one master editing format (delivery format, say you want all in the end on one HD 1080 master at x-frame rate (23.97 or 25 are good ones as they are easily converted to all other formats) in the end you will only have to convert what is needed in the cut. And some of the conversions can be handled by FCP just fine. Frame rate conversions I would do in Compressor as you have more options (BUT only after the edit is finished!, for offline purposes what FCP is doing is just fine) Also for some conversions you might want to look at Video Purifier from Innobits as it can do magic!

How does it work? Easy! Let FCP handle all the conversion between different formats on the fly while editing (assuming you have a fast system). Only footage I would see problems with are any GOP based formats like HDV. But depending on the timeframe it might still be better to sometimes do some rendering than spent endless night converting.
You can convert all existing edits to this master format too. Make copies to be safe, then load the seq and press command-0 (zero) and in the dialogue window bottom left click to load different setting – choose – done. Well not quite as you now have to go though an adjust different source footage to fit your new master format.

do some test on existing or with new seq and cut all different source footage into it to see if it’ll work.

my 2 cents 🙂

Jesus, unfortunately there is no parallel universe so some use forums for their personal vendetta against, well who knows…

Even so HDMI is a standard developed from DVI it’s basically the standard fo digital video connections (note: as opposed to computer graphics) which have a set frame size and frame rate (SD/HD formats – 25 or 30 frames)

Computer graphics (using DVI) can have many different frame rates and frame sizes. The ioHD is made for video and therefor only operates in that narrow field of SD/HD frame size and 25/30 FPS.
Your Sony monitor can do many different formats and frame rates. But not every monitor can do that. What may be confusing is that LCD TV’s often can display computer graphics as well.

Hope that helps
