When you are playing back a rendered part of the clip there is no other media coming through so there would be no benefit in separating them and eSata are normally faster than FW800 drives.

Simple click the stereo pair and the link will be broken, then pan both channels to the center and it mixes the mono.

When recording HDMI out is SD with all the canon camera, even the Mark5. That is what I got told by everyone in the Canon booth and AJA booth at NAB. For playback the HDMI is HD for all the camera. It would be great if we could record the images before it hit that compression. DSLR with HD out would be killer with the AJA Ki. Would be glad to be wrong on this.

I know zero about film transfer so if I say something wrong be gentle.
Don’t try to edit that footage, I would convert it first, spend the time up front to get it to something that will be smooth the rest of the way. Which means there is going to be some padding or add cropping. I would vote for the add padding. This keeps the entire image and you can do custom cropping later on if you like.
With compress convert to ProRes for either method.

If you have an Intel system buy the full version. (In the end it will cost you about $300-400 to do it the right way). If you have a non-Intel system FCP6 is the end of the line.
FWIW – Most of the time people selling older version (for the upgrade price no less) are passing on a copy that they have upgraded, this is a form of piracy. When you upgrade the older version are not up for grabs, they are tied to the upgrade.
While there is nothing that prevents this from taking place because Apple has very lose registration methods, and we want them to keep it that way, the way to do that is to be honest.
IMO what makes FCS so much better is all the other programs, especially compressor and DVDSP. Then of course Motion, Color and STP. So there is a lot more that more features to the editing software.

[Mike Hinkel] ” I wish I knew what Canon was coming out with next. Might be worth the wait.” If you need a camera now, get one. There is always going to be something better down the line, always. DSLR video game is so new and we are just seeing the start, it will mature very quickly, that is why I went low end, image quality is the same as the 7D so I can do what I need to do now, practice and get comfortable with this type of production, then if next we see better codecs, canon is putting in 4:2:2 mp4 into their camcorders hopefully we will see it in there DSLR some day.
The things is you cannot go wrong with either camera. If you need that little extra the 7D offers then it is worth the extra money. For me I’m will be putting the money I saved into a loupe, Follow Focus and lenses.
Bottom line, get a camera and start shoot and don’t look back!

Right now, for FCP and Compressor the processor is the most import. For Motion and Color they use all 3.
You can always upgrade RAM but you cannot upgrade the graphics card or processor.
Without a Express34 slot the 15″ lacks options that you may need, faster hard drives or external monitoring options.
Unless you do a lot of editing in the field a MacPro offers so much more for editing.

You can post a still are two and you may get more help but you are in deep trouble. That is a bad combo of issues, Bad white balance, underexposed and you used the gain in the camera. It ain’t going to be pretty.

Why is this posted in a Kona forum? How do you plan on upgrading your graphic card?
You need really fast HD to play back Uncompressed HD video, my guess your HDs are not up to speed.
