yes you are. The kona 2 is a capture card. What you need is a great Graphics card. It is the graphics card that has a proc on it that can do a lot of the work the computers proc does. The Kona 2 lets you capture with more codecs and it also can take a 525i clip and upres it to HD and it can down res HD as well.

after you recapture your footage and complete the project you can turn it into a pal movie with compressor.

That’s wierd, I have an ATI 9600 and all it has is a DVI and a VGA connector. Are you sure you aren’t looking at some other card?

Simple changes I would make.
capture at 8bit uncompressed, 10bit is totally overkill. do your edits and export as a quicktime movie. then open it in AE do your stuff and inport it back to fcp. -
So your saying the fcp will automatically, on the fly, change the capture to whatever frame rate changes occur on the tape? I’m not actually doing a project yet but I want to be preparred.

the same thing happened to me the other day. make sure your external setting is set to all frames and then when your in FCP open your Kona contro panel and make sure the control tab is set to input passthrough. then recheck your external setting again.

As another part of my previous answer, when you place your subclips in the brower highlight all the clips then control click on them and click the “make new media” in the menu. It will create the new media which you can put into a new bin folder.
-
highlight your live type clip, Control,click and select “open in editor”. This takes your clip back into live type. Do your changes there and when it works like you want, say save and go back into FCP. in a few moments the clip will dynamically change to show the new clip.
-
What I do when I break up a big clip is to drag all the new clips to the browser and tell FCP to make new media. It will make a new media for all those clips and you can safely throw the long clip away.

Every EDL is specific to the timeline at the time the EDL was created. As such, each one will capture just what is on it. If the notes on the EDL are specific you could edit it before you import it and just capture what you need.
