I thought It was the idea with adobe to stay native and edit, and If you want to go to another app then export to some intermidate codec. So you think its better to convert to proress hq or something on ingest? Then it feels like my final cut workflow. Would like to edit without transcoding but maby that is still not possible with aja or just the wrong path to choose.
Thanks for posting!

Hi, I have not bought any bd burner yet. I borrowed a external Lg bd burner from a colleague a couple of days. Right now im leaning to get an external enclosure that has FW800, USB2 and eSATA interfaces. Also this gives much more option to different burners. Im looking at Pioneer BDR-206 or a LiteOn.
You can use a built in burner on a macpro but it seams to be little more easy to install an the newer macpro. I think a standalone is the most flexible!Cheers!

“Why don’t you use your Kona card and layoff to tape in real time using the AJA hardware downconvert?”
Jeremy is it possible to skip the tape and do a hardware downconvert that you capture right back with the kona?

The tv-station here wants to the comercials in motionjpeg B. Should I still use compressor for this. I think this problem was only a playback problem since I have not heard anything from the tv-station. I had no flicker on my computer monitor.

Thanks for all advices. It went good. Only had one shot that was little bit messy but it turned out good in the end. I was able to shot that so I had the sun coming in from the side instead of right in front.
Cheers!

The plan now is to show the client what happens when you film against bright windows. Then I probely film the widest shots with the sun in my back. Then I go with tighter shots if I need to shoot agianst the windows. Will be interesting how much of a problem the cars reflection going to be.

Thanks les nemeth! This saves alot of time waste that can be to into the creative process instead.

It will start to run on tuesday so it would be nice if its showed up proper. I will check if compressor gives you more options. Strange that quicktime pro gives a worse result on resultion? Its filmed progressiv so I choose one field. Still seams like quicktime pro handels the fields in an inaccutrate way. Anyway it would be good to get it right in fcp or compressor.

Seams to be some sort of problem with pixel aspect ratio conversions.
If I use Aja Lhe in After Effect for outputting 1080 to refernsmonitor, then my rampreview don’t play reeltime. Atleast not if AE composition is set to native dvcpro hd (nonsquare). But if I change the composition settings to square it starts to play in real time. Is this normal? As I understand you should keep the native aspect of you sourceclip and use the compensate switch to make ae display the picture in 16:9. But doing that i get slow playback..
I have not had any problems before with reeltime rampreviews so I started to suspect the driver. So I uninstalled the aja 8 driver and reinstalled the 7.5.1 driver.
With the Aja 7.5.1 drivers Ae plays at 9fps (rampreview) with native dvcpro hd nonsquare. But if I change the compostion settings to square it plays in realtime. I usally put the compostition to square and 1920×1080 so I didn’t notice the slow playback until now. If you ramplayback from prores 422 square it runs realtime aswell.proress is another story thoue wich shows up purple in cs5. Atleast with the 7.5.1 drivers. Because the problem lies in 8bit you can switch to 16bit but then i loose the reeltime rampreview.
The new aja 8 driver gives slower rampreviews. Even with composition set to square i only come up to 22 fps with ajas version 8 driver? So I stay with Aja 7.5.1 driver.
If I want to run my dvcpro hd native (nonsquare) but still use aja and have reeltime previews. What suggestions do you have?
You don’t have the same choices in AE with Aja driver version 7.5.1 and 8.
Aja driver version 7.5.1 gives an option AJA Kona 1080i 25 8 bit.
In Aja driver version 8 i can’t find this so Instead I choose AJA 1080i 25 RGBA. Is that 8 bit?
