In the viewer windoe there is a render gradient in the drop down menu.
You can lay the gradient over the shot. Adjust the colors and cut a feathered mask around your talent.
I use that as an instant grad filter all the time.

This has solved the problem for me in the past. In AVID you use decompose. IN FCP you make a new project. It actually works quite nicely this way because you end up with a project per episode and it keep s the project sizes smaller, easier to open, track and archive.

I would do a test first. I think that the K2 will see the footage as uncompressed because it is basically so similar to the Apple codec that i would be hard pressed to think that it won’t see it.
I can do a test at the office tomorrow because I run both systems.
Also. If you are planning to run 10 bit UC on the KONA then you might want to take a look at the Sheer video codec. 10-bit in HD has no real time at all and by running sheer you will only be using about a third of the normal uncompressed.
I am testing this workflow and plan an upcoming article on using the Sheer Codecs as the staple for 10 bit uncompressed HD. You can capture with this codec, it is uncompressed but the algorythm results in about one third the file size.
So, let’s say you do 10 bit UC project, then you need to render all of that stuff too. so it doubles your disk space needs. It matters when dealing with the large file sizes required in HD.
Stay tuned

There is little or no decernable difference between the Apple, Kona, BMD and Aurora Codecs when it comes to 10-bit uncompressed. I recently considered running the Aurora codecs in the KONA 2 system, but I decided to stick with the KONA easy setups.

I thought we’d be seeing 5.5 first?
back in the day, the 5.5 release of AVid was probably it’s very best software version release ever.

Command M was one of my favorites in Avid because you could just draw the area you wanted to zoom. You can do this in FCP by selecting the zoom tool and using control or option to draw around the part of the TL you want.

This is a very good tutorial to watch, and it is right here on the cow!
You can apply most of the principles to FCP as well. This is the perfect primer for preparing stills for FCP.
