Here’s more info, there seems to be only one easy setup for HDV- FW to ProRes, and it seems the same on Tiger and Leopard, as I checked on two machines running each. It’s the Apple ProRes 422 108024p setup. Then you can apparently change the settings to 29.97 or whatever you want, I captured 60i and 30p footage this way, and each looked great. When you go to capture from a Canon A1 via FW, you don’t get a capture window you’re used to, just a dialog box where you can name the clip. Kinda strange, but you get audio, video and TC. It makes new clips on TC breaks. So it’s a capture now method, but it works.
BTW after you’re done capturing in this way, you can change your sequence settings to whatever, so if ProRes is dropping frames on your system (John) change it to whatever. One of the tests I did was on my laptop, and it played out ProRes 422 via FW to my NTSC monitor, scaled down to NTSC of course, but it looked great. I have been able to play ProRes on my G5 since it came out, I just have to turn off everything else!
My G5 has an X 800XT in it, if that makes a difference.

If you need to put foreign language on screen, cut and paste from a word program into your text generator, all the accents should come over.

Curt,
I have had my A1 since March, I absolutely love it, the only thing I don’t like is the zoom controls, but I have adjusted to them pretty much. Just beautiful pictures.
BTW I looked at the ProRes and HDV captures of the exact same material full size in Quicktime, they are virtually identical, except that the natural size of the ProRes files are 1920×1080!
Woohoo!
Have a wonderful day.

It WORKS! On my G5, don’t understand it, have to fiddle around with it a bit more, but it works! I will report back later on the details but IT WORKS!!!
Have a wonderful day.

Curt,
Working on an A1 project as we speak, I will do a test this morning, I have not been able to capture to ProRes up till now, this will be huge if I can… Stay tuned…
Have a wonderful day.

VideoMilkMan,
Keyframing in FCP is almost worthless. It is just one of the basic functionalities Apple has ignored since day one, in favor of glitzy, market-worthy cosmetic BS. Don’t get me started…
Have a wonderful day.

I have to agree with Walter, except that it seems the list of “must haves” on an edit machine these days is so long it’s almost a comical argument. I don’t do email on my edit machine, or print work, but that’s about it. Here’s what I do use on there and thank god I haven’t had any conflicts:
Safari
FCP and all it’s relatives, but never use Cinema Tools.
After Effects
Photoshop
Illustrator
Squeeze
Episode Pro
Kinemac
MPEG Streamclip
DV Monitor Pro
BTV Pro
Audacity
QuickTime Pro
Cocktail
DiskWarrior
FCP Rescue
AJA Control Panel
Video2SWF
Flash
FotomagicoAnd there are a few more, can’t remember ’cause my “editing” machine isn’t on right now, and like I said, I don’t write mail on it.
Have a wonderful day.

Take a look at Video2SWF, a cool little app for just 45 bucks. It has controllers and color correction adjustments you can see before you encode. Very handy. Makes a self-contained SWF file.
Have a wonderful day.
