So credits over picture with a dissolve in between the text elements. Have you fully rendered and this is happening?

Firstly the HDCam HD SDI output will be 1080 50i so that is the best capture setting. If you open a new sequence and drag one shot into the sequence it will prompt to change settings. Say yes and then check the sequence settings to find out what is wrong with your original sequence settings. I suspect there is something slightly out with the settings as created by the Automatic Duck import and it may depend on what settings were in the AVID offline. The field dominance should be upper.
Normally I take an AAF import via Automatic Duck and then run it through Media Manager to create an offline project in the codec I want to recapture with. This also allows me to delete unused media (ie not include media not in the final cut) and set handles to something sensible so you are not recapturing the whole tape. This is also acheived by decomposing first in AVID but can be done later in Media Manager.

The Kona 3 manual tells you to unistall drivers for other I/O cards. They also give you a conflict checker application which you should run after uninstalling the BM drivers.
You will find the output settings for the Kona 3 in the AJA control panel. If they are on 1080 output, they will display 2K files down converted on the fly to 1920 x 1080. There are some check boxes in setup for 2K and RED compatibility.

[Nicolas Bigler] “Any ideas?”
I am not sure why you would upgrade to Snow Leopard unless you were upgrading to FCP 7 as well. I wouldn’t recommend upgrading an OS and running older versions of FCP on it.
I think you have probably found one of many issues with running old version on Snow Leopard. Stick to Leopard.

[Grant Strac] “select all right click and remove attributes>filters so that you are not doubling up filters”
Only do this is you want to delete ALL the filters currently on your clips. I see no reason at all to do this before adding a widescreen filter.

[Stuart demar] “The board tracks did not sync with the audio (sample rates were different).”
Sorry but this is totally erroneous opinion and just wrong. Sample rate does not effect speed of playback. Converting a 44.1 track to 48 khz for editing in FCP will not change the speed.
The lack of sync was due to not using playback of the studio track for the stage performers to mime to.

What codec are you importing them as?
Have you tried going to ProRes?

There is absolutely no reason why you would need to change audio file formats unless they were incompatible with FCP. This doesn’t have any bearing on speed unless you are doing a sample rate conversion as well as a file format conversion to create a varispeed.
And a crystal sync record of audio should match a multicam shoot unless there are incorrect frame rate settings on the camera. If they were talking about 24 versus 23.976 mistakes, then yes, fix the video so that they are all on the same rate.

Actually part of the problem is the insanely low dialog levels on cinema mixes in 5.1. Compared to tech specs for broadcast these levels may be 15-20 db lower than typical stereo programming.
They do this to allow for a wide dynamic range and tons of head room for big explosions. Apparent loudness is a very tricky thing to technically quantify, so it will not be easy to police.
Devices like the Dolby analysers also are fraught as they try to equate volume over time. A show with short sharp loud bits and then quiet will register as less loud that a show with a lot of regular but not excessive levels.

It also depends on the codec and sequence settings and the H264 options. Yes the old machines are slow on H264 but without any info on codecs and settings I can’t advise if there may be something wrong.
