I don’t have the XML nor that particular project, but if you do – could you check the XML and see if there’s any weird things going on, like drop-frame or NTSC mode? Or maybe the frame rate itself has been modified in the XML?

I had it once but I’ve never figured out how to reproduce it. I’m on a new episode today, so we’ll see when the day is over, or tomorrow perhaps after rendering what’s going on.

Quick solution in FCP was to select all clips, cut, open Sequence Settings, make it 25fps and hit OK, then paste.

All OK.

I’ll email BMD directly if there’s an issue with this again.

Since you already have the Matrox MXO, I’d suggest you get a cheap second hand Mac Pro and install the MXO there.

ScopeBox can produce scopes based on a wide range of input devices, such as a web cam, any camcorder with FireWire, or any source hooked up to you Matrox MXO.

The other alternative is to get a cheap Mac Pro or even build your own PC, with BMDs own UltraScope.

I’m on an old Panasonic BT-LH2600W at the moment, but I’m about to take a round of testing different monitors when they become available.

If there was a reseller in Europe or preferably in Norway, I’d love to test the FSI.
I haven’t heard back from Autocue after I said “Go!” on a loan agreement, so I’m not sure what’s gonna happen there.

I will however have a demo a week or with the Sony OLED series. I know for a fact that if I go the OLED route, I’ll buy the cheapest 25″ due to the fact I don’t need the more advanced monitor. I’ve been told the only difference is firmware and some electronics. The panels are identical.

I don’t know the cost of the ethernet interface, but I’m sure it’s worth the money once you’re up and running in DaVinci.

I love the panel. As you say, most of the things are just one click away. Two or three tops.

Barrie, what exactly do you mean by that statement that it’s not reliable? You’re advised not to install the JL Cooper software. If you did, that’ll make it unreliable for sure.

That’s a great idea. Would come in handy whenever clients want this.

Go to the Format page. Under Output, set Source Blanking to OFF. That does the trick on my end.

I’m on 10.7.1 at the moment. Will update to 10.7.2 Monday morning.

It’s not all, but it saves a bit of time for whoever is doing the following part of the job.

So if you check the media in FCP, they all have different timecode and reel names?
Check the new 8.1 and see if there might be some improvements there on this workflow.
