[gary adcock] “Bad Idea, IMHO
Audio should follow video otherwise there is any number of ways the audio can slip at VARIOUS rates based on in and out points. ie: the drift will vary
do to power, cable, and other issues. You may never be able to resync the audio correctly in all instances.”

Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend it for daily use at this point. Right now I mostly do it when I have to do live multitrack or ADR… or whend the audio stuttering is just to annoying.

BTW, can Kona products record and play back audio at the same time the way Avids can?

I am starting to experiment with bypassing the native audio of Kona and Blackmagic cards. I am using an mBox usb interface at the moment with mixed results. On the plus side the stuttering has gone away and simultaneous record and playback for multitrack recording and ADR is enabled. On the minus side lip sync can slip during playback- this is fixed by restarting Final Cut. I will also be trying a mixer with computer direct out, probably either a Behringer xenyx 2442 or a Mackie Onyx 1640 with the firewire option. If anyone else has tried this I would love to hear it.

Thank you for both this and the BCC 4.1 instructions. I know that I am not the only one that has had unstable FCP systems after doing upgrades. Removing older versions and correctly installing the latest has made my system much more stable.

FCP 5.1.2 no longer supports RED transitions. You can still do it when using RED as a filter.

Try this:

Currently it only works in Motion- perhaps with the advent of FCP 5.1.2 they may also make an FCP version?

The Slihouette plugin does a marvelous job with this. It does both mattes & paint.

Luke, the Expansion Slot Utility sounds like it could be helpful. Does it only exist on Intel Macs? I can

If you have a capture card with component analog inputs and perhaps a JVC deck you can capture to a different codec (I like DVCProHD) without the timecode break issue. I find myself working this way a lot, especially if the video came in several formats.

I am not completely enamoured of the XDcam because you cannot bring it’s media into Final Cut the usual way- you have to use Sony’s importer utility. It works but it takes some getting used to. Still better than P2, though.

No, I knew that it only did simultanious HD and SD dispplay via hardwar with 1080i material. BTW, I finally got both that and the DVCproHD scaling to work at the same time by cycling the power on the MBE twice. I guess it is a good idea to cycle the power when other solutions do not work.
