[gary adcock] “Digitizing directly from the camera via component will give you the highest quality that you will get, hands down.”

Thanks for your response. To clarify, we have both the AJA Kona Io (has component inputs) and the AJA Kona 3. That would be the re-capturing path (Component to Io, SDI from there to Kona 3). There’s little question that we want to go from HDV to DVCPro HD.

What I understand you to say is that it’s better to re-capture than to transcode from the HDV files inside FCP. Why is that? I need to justify the time and expense of the re-capturing if we’re going down that path.

Peace,

I had a problem similar to this and it turned out that it was a codec incompatibility between the sequence settings and the material in the sequence. (I was trying to set up an H.264 codec sequence with media made using other codecs.) The sequence looked fine, but would not render until I changed its codec back. No error message, just no render.

Peace,

Synch in what way? I had a similar problem just with playing back a sequence. At odd times, the volume of my music tracks when way up. Stopping and starting solved it, but this was most annoying during a client review!!
