Refreshing the subject…
What If I don’t need all this conversions up and down?
I tell you how I use my FCP.
Mostly I work with commercials. I grab the footage from betacam into FCP, export shots as targa frame sequence. Then i work in AfterEffect or Nuke, render effects as uncompressed mov and get back into FinalCut for Editing to Tape.
I need KONA or Black Magic is all I need?
Thanks.
BTW I work on Kona right now and I think that downconversion in FCP from HD to PAL is not working so well on KONA, the best result is when I setup a PAL sequence and re-render whole thing.
