One thing I’ve noticed is when I open “Edit to Tape” and then switch out to the Kona panel the primary format has changed to 1080i29.97.

I keep trying that and all I am getting is green static. The XDCAM settings in FCP have “Non-controllable device” as their standard setting. I’ve changed it to “AJA Kona LH: 29.97 Sony VTR A”. Then in the Kona panel my primary setting is 1080sf23.98 and all my secondaries are set to 52529.97. My Gen Lock is set to “Freerun” and I get nothing but green static.

We plan on using Color regardless of SD or HD. I definitely see the benefit of finishing HD and down converting, but I have had some very heavy render times in the past and the last day of my schedule includes color, mix, re-assemble and mastering. Since we finish SD, I was wondering if the time saved on a SD color correction would be worth it.

That definitely makes sense and was what I expected. My only concern is Color’s HD render time might not fit into the client’s schedule. My thought was I could save the corrections and refinish it HD later if the client requested an HD master.

I tried both the Compressor and Kona conversions and I have to say the Compressor looked a touch better. I have 24p animated GFX in the piece and they look a little more crisp with the Compressor down convert. There seemed to be a little ghosting going through the Kona. Thanks everyone’s for your input.

I tried Chris’ suggestion and that worked really well. I exported the edit with GFX and they are nice and crisp. To your question, I would be laying off to Digi-Beta.

I tried spitting out a generic FCP Quicktime @ 1280×1080 24p, dropped it into a SD 29.97 time line, re-sized it, and put the graphics back on. When I rendered it out it looked pretty good. I just wanted to make sure that I’m getting the best product. I’ll try your suggestion.
Thanks,
