Very peculiar. I would think that your sequence seetings don’t match some how. Make sure your timebase settings are correct. Also try making a new sequence and trying to mport into that. Sometimes the sequence properties get messed up and corrupt.
Also, I’d try importing the image sequence into QuickTime and exporting the finished clip in whatever codec you’re working with in FCP, straight out of Quicktime.
One of these should work for you.

There is a MUCH EASIER WAY! If you want to replace shots that are already together in a sequence with transitions and everything, just put the time marker at the first frame of the video clip In the sequence that you want to replace. Second frame if it is at the Center of a transition. Then double-click the clip you want to use to replace the shot in the sequence, which put’s it into the viewer. Mark an inpoint on the frame you want to start to use as the replacement, and click on the blue Replace-shot button at the bottome of the canvas window. Or drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas window to get all your options, then drop it on the blue Replace button. This will replace the shot where you have your time marker in the sequence, with the shot in the viewer, starting at the frame you marked as your inpoint.
This is a lot of words, but it is really easy. Email me if I’ve confused you.

So the 1200A is a really good deck for $25,000 including the HD-SDI board. Sounds like a good HD investment to me. Thanks a lot for clarifying your setup.

Walter, I work with DVCproHD a lot doing video game trailers and I stay within the DVCproHD codec sequence. In your workflow described above, I’m confused if you have two sequences, or if the 1200A has an SDI output.
What I read is you have the one sequence that is DVCproHD, which you can out put directly via Firewire back to the 1200A.
Do you then have another sequence, 8-bit 29.97 1080I Kona 2, which you had to render from the DVCproHD Codec to output through the Kona 2 to a 1080I HD-SDI deck? Or is there an easier way to use the DVCproHD codec without rendering?I have exported final clips that are 8-bit uncompressed 1280×720, that come from a DVCproHD codec sequence, that look incredible!!!
