Here’s a late reply to this thread. I came across this tonight when I was dealing with the same thing in CS5.5.

The FCP export to XML, import to Premiere and Adobe Dynamic Link sequence import to Encore WORKS JUST FINE. The key piece of information missing so far is that once you have imported the FCP-originated XML into Premiere, you must then double-click on each marker in your sequence to open the marker options dialogue and then select Encore Chapter Marker to ensure compatibility with Encore. Resave the project, reimport the sequence into Encore through Dynamic Link and everything is then hunky dory. Hope this helps.

Just wondering if you might have a conflict between the Blackmagic and Kona codecs. Kona makes a point of identifying potential codec conflicts when you install their software, though if they played together well before, it could be a new QuickTime problem.

Can you be more specific about what graphics card configuration you did? I just finished installing MC 2.7.2 under Boot Camp with SDI Mojo and an ATI XT1900X card. Interestingly, it all worked OK for digitizing, but not for playback. I get a flamethrower/IEEE1394 etc. error message on playback, which I can make go away if I switch away from the Mojo (Avid DNA) back to software-only mode. So close, so close… By the way, I know that ATI cards are not supported, but this box is for FCP first, Avid (Mac) second, and Avid (Windoze) third, if at all. It would be awesome to score a triple, but I suspect that the video card is going to prevent that.

Thanks,

David

Thanks, Steve. I was pretty sure you could do this (as we do with all of our Avid systems) but it just wasn’t explicit in the BlackMagic documentation.

I have a big concern about seamless cross-platform (Mac/PC) capability with any “professional” codec. DNxHD has it, DVCPRO-HD doesn’t, BlackMagic does, ProRes doesn’t. Maybe this doesn’t matter to some people, but it does to us as a full-service, multi-platform company. Any thoughts?
