There has been one thing that has been driving me nuts since AE 7 came out: I can no longer RAM preview to my NTSC Monitor through the Aja Io at full frame rate. I talked to everyone I could at Adobe and Aja at NAB but with no luck. I called Aja, no luck. Changed all the settings in the preference pane, no luck.
I know someone here (I think La Ronde) had run across a similar situation, but the few posts I’ve started on this topic have stayed silent…
Works like a champ in AE 6.5, just not in 7. Strangely enough, RAM preview from AE 7 to NTSC monitor through KONA 2 works flawlessly.
Any suggestions are appreciated. MAC S 10.3.9, Dual 2.0 Ghz G5, AE 7, FCP 5.0.4, all the latest drivers and firmware

There’s also a good plugin called “Color Finesse 2” by synthtic aperature that will give you all the control you are used to. They have a board on creative cow too.

Adjust the spill and alpha bias.

If you don’t need to edit them, I’d skip FCP. Google “MPEG Streamclip” (a free application) With this, you’ll be able to demux a MPEG-2 file and a aiff and bring those straight into DVDSP without any re-encoding.

Make sure you are using linear keyframes and not auto-bezier or continuous which I think is what the other posts are getting at:
Click on the keyframes in the TIMELINE. With the keyframes selected, go to the Animation menu > Keyframe Interpolation… Make sure that spatial interpolation is set to LINEAR.
That should do it

That just blew my mind! Great tip

MacCaption has a 15% NAB show special that you may want to mention. Ususally those are good for a week or two after the show. Worth a shot atleast

There is no generation loss, you are just doing a file transfer, and technically wrapping the MXF in a Quicktime wrapper.
Your best bet is to run all of your DVCPRO 50 clips through Compressor using an Advanced Outputs preset (or something like that). There is a preset for DVCProHD which is what you are going to edit with, right? Just apply that preset and it’ll uprez-away.
And if you do plan on doing this again, make a compressor droplet

This is just an idea: Apply the “posterize Time” effect on your 25fps comp layer that is in your 30fps comp. Set your frame rate to 30 fps.
No matter what though, I don’t think the motion in your 25 fps comp will look smooth in your 30 fps comp unless you use something like Twixtor to interpert the frames, FYI
