24pA is the same as 24pNative right?

Thanks for the suggestion! I deleted the reder files in the render manager and ran Disk Warrior. I haven’t gone through every clip yet, but the ones with problem before are back to normal.

I figured FCP could not do this. So the Advanced Conversion Settings in Compressor will not do the job? What about the PAL part of the job, can FCP do that conversion?

Thanks

The frame rate turns to 29.97 even when the tape encounters a timecode break. This is a very time-consuming process because I have to keep recapturing clips and hitting ESC before it reaches the time-code break. This seems like something FCP really needs to fix.

Thanks for the good advice, and yes I have only worked with HD once, which was 23.98 captured as DV NTSC, which is also where it stayed. I had come up with that frame size (384 x 216 Photo JPEG) from the FCP manual about offline capturing. It sounds like the HD SDI is a specified cable apart from a standard SDI cable?

Thanks for your input

Thanks for everything so far, things are starting to clear up a little bit. Although I still don’t get a picture in the log and capture. I think it may have to do with the deck J-H3 deck flashing 23.98, but nothing seems to change that.

1) Sony calls 59.94 29.97, so am I editing on the timeline in 59.94 or 29.97? The preset for 1080i 29.97 has a fps selection set to 29.97, do I change that 59.94? My original intent was to capture this at low res, maybe 384×216 Photo Jpeg.

2) That makes perfect sense about the Kona2 only accepting AES. So how would I solve that with my deck that only has analog? Do I need some type of router to run the audio through.

I am trying to Re-Render the sequence after changing the sequence frame size to 720 X 486, but I don’t know if that is the problem..

I am only running the SDI IN to the Serial V/A Output. I’m not real familiar with this deck, so I don’t know what to look for in a wrong setting.
