thx a lot, it works !
only thing is I need to apply the script several times to have to batch of comps entirely renamed
and there is no error.
maybe a limit value somewhere ? or should I avoid standard name for comps ?
such as :“Composition 1
Composition 2
…” -
… 2 months … did AJA planned to update drivers when 10.6 comes ????
-
I don’t see AJA products like a “buy and trash” product. As a ‘pro’ hardware, associated to ‘pro’ computers, I think AJA and all ‘pro’ third-party stuff would not be sold if it had to be replaced within the next 5 year. Regarding investments that are made around (not just the acuiring board,but also storage, computers, VCRs…), no company could handle a such a renewal.
so let’s wait for the 1254454 templates to be tested, and w’ll get drivers, for free ! -
why is the wait so long to get AJA drivers ? AJA was sold to me as a “close partner” with Apple… it seems like AJA is not in the loop ! … now FCP 602 is out, when do you think we can expect to get the latest driver for AJA ? please !

ok, I decided to take time and make test + cross-captures to check the full workflow back again.
still I cannot capture progressive material from SONY HD SR / HD to AJA Kona 3 !I sum up the steps I did : I will focus on capturing 4:2:2 1080p25 footage
1- install your additionnal easy setup files and checked they appeared into FCP pro 5.1.4
2- set the AJA Kona setup panel to work with format 1080p25 see here =
3- set capture to 1080p25 with FCP 5.1.4
4- play 25p footage (example given is in 4:2:2 HD CAM)At this point nothing works like I want : the FCP window shows artefacts, see here =
and the capture board “sees” only 1080i25 format as input, see here =
Weird thing is that the HD SR / CAM players show proper Playback output 1080p25 see here =
In fact, the only I have to deal with my footage is to go back to capture setting interlaced 1080i25, see here =
it’s the only way it works, but it is not 25p, am I wrong ? -
OK, sorry I maybe not clear enough (I’m french).. but that is what I was saying : I’ve installed the files from the link and the setting still don’t show any “AJA 1080p” compressor.
Again, I can see/use the setting and when I inspect the setup, the only change I see is that frame priority is set to ‘none’ and the compressor is the same like in 1080i setup “uncompressed 4:2:2”.
In fact I suspect it is not enough to work in 25p, and I should find an “AJA progressive” compressor somewhere… but maybe, you will tell that it is enough ? -
thx for the (quick) feedback
is there any chance I can apply 25p to FCP studio 1 (5.1.4) ?
it sounds strange to me I have to pay for a FCP update to make my AJA work at its maximum capabilities, don’t you think ? -
ok thx for the tips
but as I don’t use easy setups, your file confirms that we just have the “frame priority” sets to “none”. There is actually no specific settings for AJA to work in 25p, and what I was setting up was already correct.AJA Kona3: 1080p 25 10 Bit
1920 x 1080…
square pixels
no frame priority (undefined)
QT settings : uncompressed 10 bits 4:2:2 (in HDV, you may set 1080p25 for instance)I’de hope we could have a specific AJA codec for to edit in progressive mode
cheers -
to U both thx a lot for the tips
it works great as long as camera is not too close from the master object (for whatever reason, 3d datas goes crazy at this point)
actually I’m not a “C4D killer” and I prefer to handle the compositing of the screen content into after fx : simply much more possibility to mix and create animation. the content is about software, so I need to animate according to the overall rotation in front of the cam :
some other rough try with the red part that shows AEFX solids https://xzuxzu.free.fr/ccow/ccowworks.mov
as you can see there is also a small distance between the image and the screen. this is why I want AEFX to composite : it will look like holographic images and some 2D images will explode out of the screens. anyway, the way to handle it with C4D (and that is the thread here) works perfect !
