[Craig Seeman] “What you missed was the letter in which FCPX broke up with FCP. FCPX found AV Foundation and moved to a much more technically advanced civilization in a much more productive galaxy.”
That’s part of my point. Let’s think about the new AV foundation and move forward. We still have a great tool now right? FCP7.
Let’s hope that they add all the engineering stuff that is missing, and embrace the new era that is really quite an evolution of media broadcast as well as providing what we need now for current broadcast/film standards.Life is too short!

Here’s an ironic twist of fate…A book that has just been released on the History of editing…Just reading it now and wow! Systems from the past like “Convergence, Ampex, Sony, Bosch and CMX.” Remember those days? I only remember Sony BVU we love you…used to have to loop the tape because the tape feed arm wouldn’t wind up correctly. Sync…Oh my!
It’s called “TimeLine” by John Buck on the Kindle store.
Takes you back and makes you realize where we have come from and where we might be going.Thanks John!

MAAAttttEEEEEEE, Happy Aussie day!
Thanks for your responses, very pleased to see the AJA thread is as good as it was two years ago. Yes I went into hiding as I sold up in Sydney and moved over to New York and started working for a bunch of crazy germans! I really really missed my FCP, hence the new system, and as you can imagine I was shocked to see all these issues with the new Quads. Not what I was expecting. It brings back horror memories with FCP 4.0! Remember that? Unusable.I just received a new Raptor 150GB drive and reinstalled the system, but only to 10.4.3 with Quicktime 7.03. What a major difference! It is purring just like it should’ve in the first place. AJA should really post the “working” system setup, not the “latest” setup.
I also found enourmous issues with Compressor and PAL, and Idisk. Finder hangs, Kernal panics, drive’s sleeping when they shouldn’t etc.Onto the PAL stuff, It upsets me that PAL is always the last thought of the engineers for us in PAL land. It is always so sloppy! Switch over to NTSC and it runs a lot smoother. However, I still can’t stand NTSC, it looks terrible! Sorry NTSC guys! just my two ‘bobs’ worth.
Good to hear from you Olivier, I will be back in Aus’ around the 1st of April…keep a coldie for me!

not to worry, found it.
Crossed fingers that this will work!Life is too short!

Thanks for that…where could I reset the SMU?

Thanks Walter,
I wasn’t expecting that kind of speed, though, if the drives are running at 50MB/sec I would’ve thought that would be sufficient cutting DV25.
Looks like I will have to run further hardware test’s. It really is not a happy puppy!Jase
PS: Have I got the Kona card in the correct slot?Life is too short!

The SATA drives are in the normal Quad’s drive bay.
As for the Kona LHe in the right slot, the manual says any slot. I have the card in slot three.thanks

Thankyou for your response Walter,
I think that you maybe right as the speed I am getting is no where near the specs of 155MB/sec. I didn’t think there were any drivers for drives? I just had a quick look at Maxtor and Western Digital and there are no drivers.
Yes, I am near the drives and they seem to be reponsive when I am just using the Quicktime player. However, in FCP there is a definate lag. FCP seems to very sloppy as it locks up sometimes when I am editing. It eventually catches up with all the keystrokes I did the minute or so before. Funnily enough though when you just scroll through the timeline with the toolbar it tracks through super fast.Hmmmm, I am stumped.
