I certainly think its possible, but I’m confused because if a self contained FCP carries smtpe tc over automatically, why wouldn’t a self contained compressed version do the same? How would you copy the track over? Where are the setting is in the converson for that?

Thanks,

Erich

Would still frames created in final cut pro have any adverse effect on a project file’s size?

“Do still frames have the same ….”

I should clarify that by still frames, I am referring to freeze frames created inside of Final Cut Pro.

I know I’m jumping in this a little late, but I just got involved with a DVcProHD project requiring a 6 angle multiclip that I am thinking of editing offline. My initial reaction is to down convert the hd footage through my aja kona 3, edit the multicam sequences, delete (or move) the dv clips, then recapture the timeline at full resolution. That should work in theory right? What you guys are saying is that it doesn’t though because it loses the multicam cuts? Or is that only an issue going through the media manager?

Indeed. Hooking one up via the port on the rear and hooking the other one up via the port on the front did dramatically improve the drives’ performance. They still didn’t support the 3 streams of DVCProHD as touted on both on the product’s page and on the box so they will be returned. I plan on getting a raid for future projects, but given my timeframe, I think off-lining this project would be best. Thanks for everyone’s take regarding this.

Walter:

These are the G-Raid 2 series 2 TB drives and I too fully expected to get between 50 & 60 mb/s out of them. I had heard about the FW 400 conflict, but thought it might only apply to laptops so I will try that. My only concern with that is the 30″ cinema display has a firewire 400 component built in to its power supply structure. Would you be aware of any ways around that? Does that same conflict apply to usb devices?

Thanks,

Erich
