Thank you Brett, I am pretty sure this is exactly what happened. I forgot to duplicate a project a while back and then wanted to return to a pervious version and must have used the snapshot by mistake.

Thanks for the info about how snapshots work. Very helpful. Makes perfect sense in retrospect.

September 21, 2016 at 9:12 pm in reply to: Monitoring out with new Mac Pro?

We have two Samsung 4k monitors (U28E590) for editing and a Vizio 4k 50″ TV (E50u-D2) for client review. This is running off a 2013 Mac Pro running OS X 10.11.6 and FCPX 10.2.3. The two monitors are Thunderbolt to DisplayPort and the TV is HDMI. This enables us to run 3x 4k displays off the Mac Pro.

When setting up A/V Output in FCPX I found that the item was grayed out in the menu unless the TV was set to 3840×2160 or 1920×1080 in OS X Display Preferences. Once I set the TV to 1080 or 4k, A/V Output was available in the FCPX Window drop down.

The issue we found is that the playback on the TV lags behind the audio of the computer. Not much but definitely enough to bother the client. If you send the audio to the TV as well it is still out of sync. Apple states, “Video and audio are synced at the video frame (not audio sample) level” so I assume sync is pretty much dependent on how fast your TV is as there is not offset setting in OS X.

Hope this helps those that cannot get their TV to show up under A/V Output.

P.S. if any of you have a fix for the audio sync it would be fantastic!

Just released:

SxS UDF Driver 2.2.0 Update (Mac)
Added support for Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)

Installing it now. Fingers crossed.

*UPDATE* Speed is back! SxS UDF Driver 2.2.0 has fixed the transfer speed issue. Speed has increased from 10MB p/s to 235MB p/s.

I still cannot write to the cards from my Sonnet Echo ExpressCard Pro. Guessing it is an issue with SxS_Drv_Installer_mac_v200 or XQD_Drv_Installer_mac_v200.

Just noticed I do not have write access to the cards either. Tried to format a card in Content Browser 2 and everything is coming up read only. And yes, Write Protection is turned off on the cards.

I used to have “SxSUDFDriver_2_1_2_mac” installed on OS X 10.10. Not sure if it is necessary, but I cannot reinstall it on OS X 10.11.

Mac OS X 10.11
SxS Memory Card: Version: 2.0.0.06260
XQD Memory Card: Version: 2.0.0.06260
SonyXDCAMDriver: Version: 3.7.1

Having the same issue with a clean install of OS X 10.11 and Sonnet Echo ExpressCard Pro. Had this issue for little awhile with OS X 10.10, but a reinstall of the Sony SXS drivers fixed it. Looks like it is only transferring at about 10MB p/s.
