Hi,
Another thought. Have you dragged the sequence into your source monitor? As an Avid man, this caught me out before.

Hey, I have a Blackmagic Eclipse. Audio capture works fine, but i think the VO tool just doesn’t recognise Blackmagic kit properly.

“Final Cut Studio has a better color corrector in Color than anything you’ll get on an Avid. ”
Yeah. The only advantage of Colour correcting on AVid Symphony is the speed you can grade at because it’s real time. Any time saved there, however would be negated by having to conform and FCP online in Avid. FCPs built in CC is a bit pony, but Color gives you so many grading options, its difficult to see the advantage on moving to Avid.

If you have access to an Avid to open the project you could export an EDL and an XML from the Avid and try linking the the imported EDL or XML in FCP to the MXF media. Dont know if this works, but worth a try.

Not sure more Ram will help. Depending on what apps your using i dont think the extra will be used. I think compressor for example benefits from a gb or ram per core, so you’re more than stocked up. Motion or AE may benefit a little from more. The graphics card update may benefit Motion or AE, but i’m not sure its qualified for Color. One thought might be to fit another internal Hard drive or 2 and Raid them together, that always a relatively cheap way to increase performance.
And the main thing i recomend is not to do any of your upgraqding via the Apple store, the mark up on prices is ludicrous.

You can export it as an XML. then import that into the project you want to use.

Yeah, i have compressor repair. It fixes the general problem whereby qmaster freezes after a crash. I think all it does is delete the .plist files. I tend to do that manually.
This fix is for the problem specifically related to the latest update. compressor repair and even a complete reinstall of compressor and qmaster doesnt fix it.

Thanks for the reply. That is what i suspected and wanted to clarify before i spend anymore time trying to make it behave.

Is it simply a case of having to press record on your camera? As i understand it “print to video” is the “crash record” equivalent and so might need to be done manually .

FCP is not backwards compatible even back from 6.03 to 6.02. However you can export a sequece as an XML and import it back into 5. The best option with FCP 6 is to constantly update to ensure compatibility.
