Also take a look at PanZoom Pro from lyric.com.

Jeremy,
My footage is 1080 30p ProRes, and I’m in a 720p project so I can still pan and zoom etc. So there’s no 720p project setting at 29.97, which is what your last advice recommends setting FCP’s playback settings to, so I can’t do that. Working at 59.94 seems to work, but I am noticing the sync drift now just playing back the timeline, not in ETT, but it’s the same lag.
This is frustrating because it’s so close to working, just no cigar. BTW I don’t have a FireWire hooked up to this computer per Oliver’s suggestion, and the video playback and audio settings are where they should be.
Have a wonderful day.

Downconvert is setup like this:
Video playback in FCP is set to 720p 59.94, Kona is set to primary analog 720p59.94 and output to SD 29.97.
Yes everything is rendered, pretty sure I did a mixdown, but will check.
Have a wonderful day.

Walter,
Didn’t you mean 1920 x 1080?

Phil,
Is your video playback set to Firewire? Check in your audio/video settings.
Have a wonderful day.

Well, yes, I do it on my G5 2 gig, but it has 4.5 gigs of RAM and an X 800-XT card in it, although I think it’s RAM that does the trick with ProRes. Note that when I use it for this, the capture lag is pretty huge, more than 30 %, whereas when I do this on a 2.66 gHz Intel machine at work it is pretty much real time.
Have a wonderful day.

Otis,
This is how I do it, only renaming the clips is easier now that I do it through the browser.

Benefits are no conforming, better transitions, grading and filters in general, plus you got rid of that stupid GOP format. Only downsides are disk space and drive speed you need.
Have a wonderful day.

James,
Go up to the Apple icon and scroll down to force quit. Unfortunately, unless you saved or had auto save on, you will lose your changes, and it’s probably time to trash your prefs and fix permissions.
Have a wonderful day.

Hey Craig,
Sometimes I will build my projects at 720p with the 1080 footage, sort of get the best of both worlds. It’s easy then to let Compressor take it down to SD or put that in an SD timeline.
Have a wonderful day.

Hey Craig,
What David says. The beauty of doing it this way is you can tilt, zoom and pan your shots, very handy. BTW I shoot 30p for nearly everything and fields become a non issue.
Have a wonderful day.
