Oh, and I’m still on FCP 4.5 if that makes a difference.

Playing back the audio that’s imported is fine. It’s when I export a quicktime (for internet posting or whatnot) the audio comes out horribly glitched. I don’t think the board is at fault, but something to do with the settings in FCP when the board is in use.

Bear in mind, I’m also still running FCP 4.6 and quicktime whatever-came-before-7.

I noticed that this problem only seems to happen when I have my Easy Setup set to one of the HD Kona settings. I switched over to an SD setting and exported and it worked fine. So… if anyone else has this problem… give that a try.

Wow, who would have thought this thread would have gotten so big?

So I told the director that he was editing natively the whole time (he’s fairly new to FCP and HDV and general codecs 101). Looks like we’re going to keep working in the format he’s been working in and anything that’s being sent to the FX house I’ll just export as a quicktime in 8bit (or maybe 10bit?) which we’ll then drop into the uprezzed sequence when we’re getting ready to deliver.

Again, the hardest part was explaining to the director that most of the work he hired me for was, well, already done.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Thanks for your help. It was hard telling the guys that hired me that I didn’t have any work to do.

That’s really not what I wanted to hear. This is a feature with lots of cuts. The deck I’m using is rented to and there’s no way I’ll be able to do all that by tomorrow night, even working non-stop.

Can anyone else corroborate this? Would I be better off just doing it all in HDV or should I not sleep for the next 36 hours and digitize each cut manually?

Ok, so I should go ahead and capture at 8bit uncompressed?

Now, here’s the second part of that question: I have deck control, but when I try to capture, it goes to the spot, starts playing, but then doesn’t digitize and says, “Unable to lock deck servo. Tape possibly still threading.” while the deck is playing fine. Any ideas?

Awesome. Thank you so much. I’m running the Drive Conditioning thing right now on the other array. I can’t stop it (as far as I can tell) so I’m going to run the system test once it’s done.

Thanks again.
