Thanks.

I am finding the documentation fragmented and unclear.

I rendered the clips in the Deliver room using FCP X XML Preset.

Then returned to Conform, selected the timeline and exported XML.

FCP X does not recognize that XML.

It seemed much more straightforward in Resolve 8.

Thanks. I discovered when poking around that indeed it didn’t migrate. What solved it was a removal of the SQL folder in Library and a reinstall of Lite.

Thanks

Thanks. I should have noticed that thread.

Now I would appreciate some help figuring out why it will not let me create a database

Since updating to 10.2 beta driver, I as well have experienced several kernel panics a day. Running a Kona 3G. The 10.2 update also installed the latest firmware to the card.

Lion has been the easiest, most trouble-free Apple update I’ve done. Your mileage may vary.

No real issues with Resolve Lite and workflow from FCP X is simple enough.

I’ve been in touch with Blackmagic about the XML 1.0 vs 1.1 question

Graphics card is Quadro 4000 which of course does not support OpenCL in Lion. That could be part of the issue. But I can play unrendered material with AV deselected (so no output to Kona). AJA tech support believes the problem is the Quadro 4000.

[Ned Soltz]

Yes. The Quadro 4000 could be the issue. But I have had no problems with FCP X and the Quadro up to this point under Lion. As I said, once the clips render, there is no playback issue.

[Ned Soltz]

Testing scenario here is 8-core MacPro, Quadro 4000, 16gb RAM, ATTO R680 to 8-drive array. 2 Monitors, scopes on.

Cannot play back unrendered material without dropping frames whether it is 3rd party effect (and MB Looks for FCP X is glacially slow) or native effect.

Restarting fixed the inconsistent display between where I had set AJA Control Panel and what FCP X displayed in AV Prefs.

[Ned Soltz]

I did install the 10.2 beta and do have output from FCP X.

It isn’t the prettiest of all solutions at this point, however.

FCP X does not control the card as does FCP 7, meaning that you need to go into the AJA Control Panel if viewing a project in a different size/frame rate. That was definitely covered in the AJA ReadMe.

It will not play back unrendered footage without dropping frames.

I normally edit with 2 24″ displays plus my FSI monitor coming SDI from the Kona 3G. In FCP X, I had been displaying the viewer full screen on the second monitor. With unrendered material, it would playback. With output going to the Kona, both the computer monitor and the Kona drop frames. This is the same whether utilizing 2 computer displays or 1. If I turn off the AV output from FCP X in the Window menu, then I can play back unrendered material on the computer display.

Definitely am noticing some latency between selecting clip and display.

In my FCP X prefs under AV device, all that is available is Kona 1080 23.98. None of the other frame sizes/rates are available in FCP prefs. Of course, everything is available in the AJA Control Panel.

Magic Bullet Looks has a display option and recognizes the Kona. But the Kona output does not update while making adjustments within Looks. It only updates when back in the timeline AND moving playhead to force a re-draw via the Kona.
