“The Caps Lock thing??” What is that??

If you have upgraded FCP to the Universal binary, it breaks anything but the default effect behaviour in FCP. I also found this out after upgrading. None of the Continuum or Bortis filters allow you to adjust parameters any more after the upgrade.

It’s waiting for more graphic card support!

I use the IO and the Kona LH and have only seen “jittering” video when I tried capturing from a DVD player that didn’t have sync/genlock, so I think you are on the right track looking at genlock sync issues.

If you are planning on doing any keying, color correction and/or compositing use SDI at 10 bit uncompressed. You will definitely be able to see the different when using those operators. If you are doing cuts only, firewire input is fine.

When using the Sony HDV deck and the Kona LH card, I always capture uncompressed 10 bit HD from the analog component out, using the Tao L-Port for machine control(and Time-code). It has always worked flawlessly for me.

Just for the record, Robert Rodriguez did go to film school, The University of Texas at Austin, and did graduate. The funny thing is, they didn’t let him in until after he had successfully completed El Mariachi. He had been writing a comic strip “los Hooligans” for the several years I attended UT (’84-’87), and was basically storyboarding in his head even way back then. I feel the film degree was a very good investment at UT because they made you go through all the disciplines, audio production, lighting, video production, and film production, as well as learning how to write well and study the Film Masters. If you complement that with courses in the Drama Department, Music Department, Photography Department etc. you start to be well-rounded in many areas. I was also able to intern, and then was hired, at the PBS station there and was fortunate to have worked on several national programs including American Masters, Austin City Limits and many others. The “real world” mixed with rigorous study really is the best answer. The secret to success is continually upgrading and honing your skills. Many of the people I worked with are still in the same positions they occupied 20 years ago at PBS, and stuck at about the same low pay level. If you want to work and stay on the cutting edge, you need to spend the extra effort and time to keep up with and master an increasingly sophisticated and changing set of tools!
