Thanks, i have used that before when trying to find a font that i only have a printed version of, but this seems like something that final cut would know somewhere. After all, FCP most likely tried to load the font, couldn’t find it, and so replaced it with a default font. When I do reload the font on my computer and reopen final cut, it does seem to remember, so that info has to be stored somewhere, right?

Correction: RGB white = 255,255,255 (not 0,0,0 which would be RGB black) Thanks.

The problem seems to have gone away. I have absolutely no idea what i did, other than disconnecting a Digibeta deck and replacing it with a Beta SP deck for a day. I hooked it back up and the problem has vanished. Thanks for your help guys. After your posts concerning features in FCP5, I am thinking that upgrading everything is not a bad idea. (We have tiger, and upgraded all the kona drivers, but we are still running FCP4.5. Perhaps that is the problem.)

An interesting finding as I troubleshoot: The “edit to tape” function plays back the DV50 codec perfectly through the Kona card. No more mini video in the upper left corner. Why would it playback small during timeline playback, but when I go to edit to tape or print to video, it plays back beautiful full screen? Still stuck on timeline playback, any thoughts? By the way, I am using the component outs on the kona.

Stumped.

I have tried both 8bit and 10 bit. 8 bit produces a very pixelated full frame video, that then sharpens to full rez once playback is stopped. I can’t find a setting that allows for full rez playback with the DV codecs (both DV25 and DV50). I know it should, since full frame uncompressed video looks great and plays back perfectly on the monitor.
