Thanks Jerry. I’ll have a look into both of those options and let you know how it goes.
We’re digitising at Uncompressed 8-bit at the moment from Digital Betacam tapes. Don’t know if that makes a difference?

Thanks for the reply Jerry.
The one particular project that I was having trouble with is only 6:30 in length, SD PAL anamorphic. It’s a corporate, so there’s a lot of cuts throughout it, but nothing over the top. Only one sequence open and I’ve made a habit of closing all sequences before saving and closing a project, so I would think it wouldn’t be a RAM problem.
Generally it seems to be that if I’m able to render the sequence by applying a de-interlace filer to it’s entirety it seems to fix the problem. Is there any known problems with capturing clips over 10mins of length? Just wondering if by rendering a sequence because it’s creating smaller reference files that’s helping it in playback?
As for rebuilding the computer from scratch, we haven’t done that for just under 2 years. So maybe it’s something we’ll need to do on a rainy day…

No worries. Here it is.
If you turn on any of the masks in the Bottom Half layer you should see what I was trying to describe. It also seems to happen if you change the opacity of the Shapes layer.
Of course there are work arounds for this, but it’s rather annoying to have to work around it.
Also don’t mind my 3 masks. I know I could have done it with one… 😛

Yeah sweet as. Thanks heaps!
Just had to convert my footage to an image sequence first and then it all fell into place. Love the way that there’s always a way to do something!

Cool. No worries. Just wanted to make sure there wasn’t any settings or anything like that I was missing.
Thanks!

Right then. Let me try and explain it again. Made sense in my head!
So what we used to have was a Kona AJA LH capture card which went into the KL Box and from there went out to the deck and monitoring system. While the LH card had two SDI outputs, only one of them was plugged into the KL Box.
Now we’ve upgraded the capture card to a Kona AJA LHi capture card. The only difference to the setup we had before is now there is only 1 SDI output on the capture card – nothing has changed on the KL Box.
What I’m asking is now for me to capture footage, the SDI out on the KL Box has to be plugged into the SDI out 2. But if I want to print to tape I have to change the cable from the SDI out 2 on the KL Box to SDI out 1. Is this just simply because we have the wrong KL Box for the capture card or is there some setting that can fix that?
What I’m not understanding is why I have to change the output cables all the time on the KL Box.
Hopefully that clarifies what I’m asking.

Yes I know we should invest in one… maybe one day soon!
But what I find confusing is we were only using one of the SDI outputs when we were using the old gear, the other SDI out, while plugged into the card, was never plugged into the box.
Is someone able to explain to me how this is working and how the output needs to be different for capturing then printing to tape?
