At this point we are dealing only with footage, XDCAM EX and ProRes, no graphics no efx.
I could give it a try to the FCP maintenance pack, but this project is fairly in its begging stages, and the systems are brand new.

We have setup new projects already and same issue. We still get the beach ball every time you switch applications or just by going in to the finder.

With an empty project it does not happen, however my current project is only 80MB.

Done and no change.

So a resolution to this issue,
Use Compressor, but Cinema Tools is fast and easy, you just have to deal with the audio being resampled and footage changing time base. Compressor keeps the time base the same.

Kudos to Jeremy Garchow for taking the time to do those test samples and video guide and everyone else that contribute in this post.

Rafael,
Now that the audio got from 48Khz to 46.03Khz how does this affect the quality? On the long run will there be any issues with the online?

Thanks,

Thanks Jeremy,
The project has already started on 23.976 edit is not possible to go back to 25P edit.

If you do a pass-through converting to 23.976 them you media is of sync.
Them how do you approach that, with compressor.

How can I contact you directly?

Thanks,

I just tried the following, take the XDCAM 25P thru Compressor for ProRess with pass-through audio.
Taking that ProRess file in to Cinema Tool to conform to 23.98, BUT I noticed that the audio change from 48Khz to 46.03Khz, Is this part of the conform?

Kept in mind that the rest of the project is in 48Khz.

So, since we are working in XDCAM first it needs to be converted to ProRess 25P and the best way to do this is in FCP? I know we can do it in Compressor but this them will a be a two or three part process and we are dealing with ton of footage.

Well the main issues is not the actual conversion is the lost of the 4-channel audio after conversion is done.
