Go into your effects tab in the browser, select the duration of the dissolve and change it to whatever length you want.

Shane if he wanted to capture over the timecode break could he just set the preferences to “warn after capture” of the timecode break instead of “abort on capture”?

I would at least go to the aja website and download their latest drives and firmware. Then make sure you trash all the older aja stuff before you install the new. See if that helps. If not call aja tech guys, they are very helpfull.

Go to top of window to sequence>render (or select render all or render only whichever you choose). When the next window appears, make sure there is a check mark next to the color you are trying to render before you select video. You can uncheck the other colors if you dont want to render all the other material at this time.

When you go to render is there a check mark next to the yellow line in the drop down menu?

I think you need to read up in the manual a little bit about subclips. You seem to be confused as to the difference between clips and your media. Your original media file is one long file. By creating subclips the way you have done it, you are not cutting up the original media file, it still stays as one file. All you are doing is creating clips that reference that original file. These clips dont really take up much space on your hard drive as they are just a reference file. You can create as many of these as you like. For instance drag one of your subclips to the viewer and mark in and out points for part of the clip and then create a subclip from that. Then you could drag that to the viewer and make another subclip from that one. As a test, see how much space is on your drive, then make 10 subclips and see how much extra space is used.

I think the problem is that there are max peak levels set by broadcasters for all programming. Lets say their specs say audio levels not to go above +6db. Most people, when mixing a TV show will usually have audio levels hovering in the -10 to 0db range to allow for dramatic increases in the show, say for car chase scenes or explosions etc. If they run the program continually up around 0 to +6 db there would be nowhere to go for the dramatic stuff. On the other hand commercial mixers will push everything to the limit for that 30 sec spot ’cause that’s what the client wants. So after that nice quiet scene of The west Wing that was probably hovering around -10db, an increase of 16db to the mattress guy is double the volume and really obnoxious. Really makes you want to go and by a new mattress doesn’t it? Maybe they should have specs for commercials, say peaks 6db lower than programming.

Even though you have the IO on a FW400 port and the drives on the 800 port they are still sharing the same bus, which is more than likely what is causing your problems. Get a PCIe firewire card (if they’re available yet) and run the drives off that and stripe them as a Raid 0 as others have suggested. Also, I could be wrong here, but doesn’t SDI carry the audio as well? You shouldn’t need AES connections.

So this quote is from that website.
>Upgraded to an iSight iMac G5. Ran the Apple import wizard via firewire to transfer settings and apps. Final Cut Pro 4.5 does NOT run, but there is a fix.
If you remove the two line entry within the Info.plist concerning AGP, FCP will launch. This is a similar tactic posted by other readers to get FCP to run on older systems. (see link/article below-Mike) No word yet on whether or not there are any performance penalties.”< Do you really want to spend $3-4k to find out if there is any performance penalties. Just cause they were able to get the application to launch doesn't mean that much. The problem is FCP4.5 needs the AGP graphics card. If you dont want to upgrade your software you could always just buy the Dual 2.7ghz G5 apple is still making available for PCIx users, although I would think if you're spending a few thousand on a new computer then a few hundred more would be well spent on an upgrade to FCP5. -
There have been a few instances of this after upgrades so apple has posted a fix it on their website.
