Yes we did the update.
I’m just not sure what the problem is or where to begin. We did a clean install to snow leopard, so I don’t know if its a perfect storm of Snow Leopard or what. Is it Quicktime X causing issues, are we having preferences issues, no idea. It works on the G5, so obviously it’s Snow Leopard in some capacity.
Plus, we keep getting this error (see-below), not all the time. Sometimes we get the error on a clip and 15minutes later the same clip works fine, that sounds like a permissions issue ?
After Effects Error : Error (4) reading frame from file /volumes/… our file path.
(86 :: 2)Thanks for the help, I appreciate it !

well our engineers are technically challenged..lol, but seriously. I’m actually a designer doing some research on this topic because they tell me they can’t convert them with the edit system because they are on like version 1. It runs on a PC. Right now we use Flip Factory for the conversion, but I find it hard to believe they can’t import those quicktimes straight into the edit system and let it do the conversion. I’m not that all impressed with flip factory so I’m trying to cut out the middle man if you know what i mean.

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’ve made my day, now I don’t hate the P2 as bad..still not digging the DVC Pro, but that was a station decision 🙁 Ha
It was the Frame size that was screwing me, the 1280×1080..not use to that.
1 million thanks to all.

ok, I tried new settings and still no luck in viewing on timeline in realtime. Here’s my setting in Final Cut.
P2 Camera footage=DVCPRO HD 1080i
FCP Easy Setup = DVCPRO HD 1080i60
FCP Sequence Settings = Frame Size – HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Quicktime Video Setting = DVCPRO HD 1080i60Import P2 footage, throw on timeline and get the I’m need rendered red bar and can’t view realtime…so i’m really confused here. Why can we grab video live from our sony HDcam into FCP using Kona3 uncompressed 10bit, throw on timeline and its perfect, no rendering and it can’t handle compressed P2 footage ?
Again, thanks for the help Fellas
