This funny because just today I am learning how FCP noticeably changes the color of an Animation codec file in a sequence. So you are saying that you can get the same color levels that you design?
Do these files work in FCP 6?

Hey Gary!
I am on a brand new MacPro 8 core, FCP 6.05, AJA control panel 7.1, KONA LHi with BOB. The system is attached to UNITY storage.
I am connecting the Canon HV30 via HDMI
I have yet to try to see it through FCP because when I am looking at the AJA control panel it does not seem to be seeing the signal at all.
I haven’t found any documentation yet on exactly how to do this – but perhaps I am not looking in the right places?
Thanks for any help!

Love & agree with all the posts so far…
I would love a way to close all open bins (expanded not atcualy open in new windows) in a project window at once like an option-click or something… I think most other software can do this.

Ah, good point about the OS- stupidly forgot about that issue… that would be the bigger one. Will check if 10.5.6 would be an issue or not…
thanks!
And no sweat about the search thing… I can relate to that issue with some of the posts I see as well.

If you read what I wrote, I am asking specifically about FCP 7 and Unity. I already use it with 6.04 (per Avid’s instructions) and I am wondering if anyone is testing FCP 7.
I read the boards every day and I am well aware of the search function. I saw that thread the other day and that does not answer my question. But thanks for your ‘help’!

BTW William it is Blu-ray.. not Blue Ray – just a friendly correction.
Cause it wouldn’t be a cool format if they didn’t use a funky spelling!

Before you go into edit to tape mode, are you seeing the audio going to the deck? That would definitely eliminate the issue of some connection issue.

I will be amazed if they didn’t plan for 64 bit & multicore support with Snow Leopard.. but we shall see in about 2 months or so…
In the mean time, look into using quickclusters for Compressor to be able to use all of your cores – makes a HUGE difference for most encoding processes.

Def hear you about the de-interlace issue.. Episode does have some nice tweaky options for that so def check it out. I think you can download a demo to try it first.

And as for speed – actually compressor can match or beat anything else when you use quickcluster to be able to use all of your processor cores.
For example – encoding a 45 minute DVCPRO HD file into h264 with timecode burn-in takes about 20 minutes on an 8 core machine. Not sure how it would react with windows media, but I can imagine it would help that too…
I have used episode as well and I like its more simple interface – but lately compressor has won me over with using quickclusters and the droplet feature. And it doesn’t cost anything…
