If you launch a source timeline from he media browser instead I a bin, you get a source timeline view exactly like you would use it in Avid. You can toggle between source and record timelines with the hot key for highlighting the timeline window (shift+3 by default). This was a huge discovery for me! Not being able to do this always annoyed me in FCP7…

Sorry if I’m reading this incorrectly, but do you have anything plugged in to the inputs on your breakout box, like a deck or a black burst generator?

NDD is probbly what you want. Only use the non-NDD if you wantto use your external monitor as an extended desktop. NDD os much more stable – my system was crashing constantly until I switched to NDD

I know you said you checked all your settings, but just to be sure: check that external video is set to “all frames” and that your canvas pulldown is on “image” or “image and wireframe”, not just wireframe.
Also, never hurts to restart…

Sorry for the blank post.
Have you tried contacting AJA for a replacement card? They had one to me overnight, and it turned out I didn’t even need it.

Hey Drew –
Have you tried the NDD driver? It completely solved my problem.
-
I see. So there’s no controversy that slots 1 and 2 are the “fast lane” slots, just that your storage solution seems to trump your Kona on which should get the fast lane slot?
-
Switching to the NDD driver seems to have fixed the issue. Something I should have done before posting, but oh well. All good now.
Jeremy – I’m concerned that you and I heard different slot specs from AJA. Can you post a link the recommendation for slot 3 on Nehalem machines?
-
Yeah, Nehalem. Just came out of the box Thursday.

Thanks for the thoughts, guys.
Scott: My energy saver prefs are set for hard drives to not go to sleep, so that’s not it. I’ve learned that lesson before. Also, when I’ve dealt with hard drives slowing me down in the past, especially externals, I could actually hear them spinning up to speed while I was waiting for FCP to respond. In this case, hitting option+F12 restores response time instantaneously, with no noticeable hard drive chatter.
Jeremy: Your suggestion is actually how it was originally installed for me (by Tekserve in NY), but AJA tech support, and their documentation, has it spec’d for the AJA card in slot 2 (according to AJA tech support, slots 1 and 2 are the “fast lanes” on a Mac Pro). So I switched the eSATA to 3 and the AJA to 2.
Any other thoughts out there, short of trying a new LHi?
Thanks,
David
