I’m simply trying to import dnx footage so your mileage may vary but…

I’ve had tremendous success!

When it’s time to load footage I simply power down the system, turn off the IO HD and power back up. Once I’m booted I simply take the AVID codecs (which I store on the desktop) and move them into the library/quicktime folder. I go to compressor and transcode the footage…once the transcode is finished, I move the dnx codecs out of the quicktime folder and back on to the desktop, power down, power up the IO HD and reboot my Mac…works like a charm!!!

A friend at AJA suggested this may work but it is completely unsupported…

Hi Gary

Yes…I made it 1920 x 1080 1 PreRes 422 HQ in AE and then tried to import…

Thanks…

Hi Jeremy

I guess I’ll try the update (I’ll clone first)

I’m working in 3500 x 1080 in AE and then stretching down to 1920 x 1080i for FCP

Thanks…

Well, the encode goes fine for ProRes 422 HQ out of After Effects and it plays well in Quicktime…but as soon as I drop it in a ProRes 422 HQ Timeline in FCP V 6.0 I get the spinning beachball.

I have the IO HD firmare 1.1 and Control Panel V 5.0 as well as Quicktime 7.3.1.

I thought about updating FCP but others have said it breaks more than it fixes…

Any ideas?

Thanks…

I have three Hitachi Deskstars Striped Raid 0 internal on a MacPro. I’m pretty sure I get 200 kbits per second…

This seems to work…anyone else?

Maybe I just don’t power up the IOhd, transcode to ProRes through compressor with the Avid codecs, unload the codecs and carry on?

Try Safe Harbor…I ordered in the beginning of January and got one almost immediately…

(First one was DOA, however, AJA shipped me a brand new one overnight)

Thanks Gary

I downloaded the uninstaller straight from AJA.com. Sounds like this is normal and they’ll be gone once I install the IOHD?

BTW-may I ask your procedure when you switch back and forth between IOHD and IO?

Thanks again Gary…

What about having a partitioned system drive with the seperate software and switching between the two with a restart? I’ve got a 500 gig system drive anyway….make sense?

Thanks guys!
