I’m not always the sharpest tool in the shed, so if I’m not understanding your question I apologize in advance.

There are two commands in FCP that may be of help, “Overwrite Sequence Content” and “Insert Sequence Content”. On my keyboard these are mapped to Option-overwrite and Option-insert. Editing from a sequence in the Viewer using these commands edits the original clips into the timeline.

Hope this was what you were asking for.

I cut the sequence at Kona 10-bit 525i 29.97. Client asked for a non-drop master. So I set a sequence up as Kona 10-bit 525i and change it to 30fps before editing anything into it. Cut and paste my material from the 29.97 sequence into the 30 sequence (the individual clips) and I can’t get the card to output any video. It will play it on my computer monitor, but my component and SDI output put up a freeze frame. If I go back to the 29.97 sequence, everything plays fine.

2.7 Dual G5
FCP 5.04
Kona 2 2.0 drivers
4GB RAM

As a side note, we worked around it by setting the deck up NDF, TC to Regen, and assemble editing from the DF sequence. Seems to have worked fine.

Aja has been great trying to work this out. Hope the bug fix works.

Alright, didn’t mean to sound contentious, I’m not so naive to think that just becausse someone announces a product that it will work. Years of experience with Avid, Discreet, Apple, and Pinnacle certainly makes this whole issue a raw nerve that just gets hit again and again and again. It’s explaining things to my clients that rubs salt in the wound.

Aja says they are working on a new driver to fix the problem. Not Apple. I can’t find anyone complaining about the same problem when digitizing through firewire. I’m not sure if Blackmagic claims to be working with Tiger/FCP5/QT7.

Aja put out this press release April 19:

>AJA Video today announced that all KONA and Io products will
>support Apple

From AJA:

Hello,

We are looking to have a beta driver Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
For now individual clip capture will assure AV Sync.

I’m guessing this is the last word unless someone has a miracle workaround. I think it’s time for a beer.
