Looks like a bad Kona2 card to me. Call AJA and they will swap it out immediately.

You have to rename clips 1-9 with “forestanding zeros”

You have to create a new sequence using the same easy set up you used to capture ytour footage, and that hsould take care of the rendering.

what format is your footage and what easy set up are you using?

[Ben Holmes] “aturally you could use the Timecode filter in FCP to output burnt in versions of your rushes – If you want to render each and every one seperately on to your harddrive…..
“

NOt really. This method will still be faster than burning VHS window dubs. Put the filter on and export to small size (mpeg or whatever) so that the writers/producers can write their scripts at home, the coffee shop, office, etc. There’s no reason to render the filter first as it will render as it’s compressing to the smaller format.

Have you recently upgraded from Panther to Tiger? If so try this:

Are you forgetting about pre roll?

[Justin Gray] “The system, as of now, really only needs to handle DV”

If you are working in DV, you really don’t need a capture card. DV comes in through firewire which has been built in to each and every mac since the late 90s.

If you are planning on capturing from other formats (which will require expensive decks, which you can rent on a per project basis to keep your costs down) you will need a capture card. If you really want to make FCP “sing” get yourself some fast storage or call the fat lady. I hear she sings, but it might be over after that.

Also, you might want to think about a ‘cheap’ dv deck so as you don’t ruin your dv camera when you are constantly capturing. Check out Sony’s clamshell (it’s a gv 1000 or something like that) or perhaps a Sony DSR-11.

Shane is correct. Upgrading your AGP card will not gain you any more performance in FCP, but it will help Motion if you plan on running that.

Good luck and happy purchasing.

Select your clip, hit copy (apple-c). select the other two clips and hit paste special (apple-v) and select filters. There’s a tickbox on the top the allows you to scale the attribute times (keyframes) so they scale over the length of the clip. This is the only way to copy keyframes. You can save those filters together as a favorite, but it won’t preserve the keyframes.

To save as a favorite, load the clip in the viewer, select the filters tab, make sure NONE of the filters are selected, go to the modify menu and select make favorite. This filter pack will now show up in your favorites folder in the effects bin of your browser. apply to as many clips as you want.

You can also make a favorite motion filter if you need to do a series of repetitive motions, but this sonly applies to keyframes in the motion tab, not effects filters.

The manual explains all of this.

Put all the necessary clips in the timeline, put the timecode reader filter on them. Change the text (that defaults to TCR) to the reel number. Export the files to whatever format your producers want to watch.
