Thanks again,

so this means that if we have QT file that aleready have 5.1 mix (L, R, C, LFE, Ls and Rs) we can’t simply play it back in FCPX (it will rematirx it)?

Thanks a lot Noha,

so how would this work (let’s say that I’m only playing the first 6 tracks in 5.1) will the tracks be mapped sequencially (meaning that the first active track will be on the first output channel, the second one on output 2 and so on…)?

Hi Warren,

sorry for the confusion, I wasn’t quite clear on my last reply. When I said “System” I meant that I run a check “System” (hardware, card and everything). The files reside on a big SAN (Stornext from Quantum)

Hi Warren,

thanks for the reply. Yup, I did try to play it in AJA’s control room, but I got a lot of drop frames during playback. What is weird is that I also ran AJA’s test system and the number that I got shows that I seem to have enough speed (both on HardDrive and System) to run the file.

Thanks for the cue Michael

Thanks a lot David

Thanks again David,

but does FCPX allow output through Kona card? For this particular project, w’re not looking for an edit station but just a way to playback (with basic controls) our 4K in a 4K monitor (through Kona3g)

[Frederico Cengarle]

Thanks a lot David,

So 4K playback in FCP 7 is a no go? Do you know if FCP x supports it? Can FCPX output though a Kona card or is it only sharing (compressing) files?

[Frederico Cengarle]

HI Mark,

thanks for the quick reply. I do have the Aja Firmware installed. In fact, if I look at my Aja control panel I can set it to Quad 4K. But in FCP, the video device is missing (greyed out) as shown in the screen grab attached

Thanks a lot for the follow up Reuben,

The TC is continuous indeed, but my question was more on how I can convert it

ex: My source file is in 25 fps (with a TC track at 25 fps). No I want to take this source file and make a 24 fps version of it. How can I read the TC start of my source and convert it so it as the right TC start in 24 fps?

Ususally, fore timecode conversion, I first take the SMPTE TC and convert it in frames. Then I take this frames result and apply it to the new TC rate.

ex: Source TC 25 fps is at 09:59:59:00 so this equal to 899975 frames. And 899975 frames equal 10:24:58:23 in 24 fps. So my result file should have a TC start of 10:24:58:23

Is there a way to do this manipulation (grab source TC start > convert it in frames > regenerate a new TC start for the result based on the frames number)?

Thanks again
