I can attest to this working very well. I just used it to make some 23.98 footage cut well on a 29.97 timeline. It also worked well when plans changed and we needed to master in HD instead of SD. I had to convert the footage a second time and it matched perfectly with the SD offline.

How are the deck and Kona card connected? Make sure that you have the right video output settings selected in the view menu of FCP. Also make sure that your Kona card settings are set to the correct video formats. Its hard to troubleshoot something so vague.

Go to the view menu and make sure that the “Audio Playback” is set to built-in output.

Open up your Audio and Video settings in the FCP menu. Go to the last tab titled “A/V Devices” make sure that your audio output is set to AJA Kona. It sounds like you’re currently routing your audio through the built-in output, which is your computer.

Are you sure that you’re actually opening your clip in the viewer? You need to double-click or hit enter when its selected. If you single click, you wont be modifying the correct clip.

Photoshop to FCP works perfectly for me. I tend to create a workspace the size of my project (ie 1920×1080) and then place my text accordingly. I find that .png files carry transparency to FCP very well.
I’ve finished several broadcast shows like this with no issues. As Michael said, you cannot judge your project from the canvas window. You need an external reference. Watching the canvas for quality will just have you pulling out your hair.

HD Broadcast runs at 60i, or 60 interlaced fields per second. In terms of FPS, it is 29.97.

Have you tried exporting quicktime reference movies of the sequences and then bringing them back in as separate clips? I’ve never tried it, but off the top of my head I dont see why it wouldn’t work.

First thing to do is make sure that you dont have in/out points set on the timeline. Thats the only reason I can think of that the file would export without errors, yet still be missing the same section…

We use static cards for all of our broadcast credits these days, anything else ends up looking crappy when down converted.
