So far I am able to view clips, but I cannot get any of them to play. I just receive an error popup “there was an error whilst playing this clip” message. I would assume that has to do with proxy file format?

I also have had similar things occur, with the Force Quits, etc. I haven’t been able to solve the issue totally. I have had renders and file exports fail constantly, both of which would invoke this crashing behavior.
I ended up turning off Mercury Playback Engine so that it is software-only, delete the preview files, and that seemed to allow me to render/export. The strange thing was that I had to do this after I had already updated to the latest CS6 release, OSX Lion 10.7.5, AJA and nVidia drivers. The new update worked great until I started rendering several times on various edits, and the problems came back. To me it would seem to be an issue with the Preview files Premiere generates that causes the issues. Deleting those maybe is the key? Very hard to pin it down.

I have a few things I suggest you check. Go ahead and close FCP to be safe.
Within your AJA Control Panel, the ‘Control’ tab will allow you to switch your inputs. Try changing this to ‘Input Passthrough’ for starters.
Your ‘Analog In’ graph on the left should have some sort of signal such as 525i29.97 if your deck is outputting a signal. If this is not the case, change your ‘Inputs’ tab to accommodate a component signal. This will confirm the AJA card is seeing video from your deck.

Launch FCP and then the Log and Capture Tool to see if that made a difference. If not, address your Capture tool. There is a Capture Settings tab – change your Device Control to ‘Non-Controllable Device.’

If you need deck control, make sure you have RS-422 connected from your deck into the front of your AJA box. Then select one of the AJA Sony profiles in Device Control, and hopefully one of those will control your deck.

I hope this can solve your problem.
