Hard to say since the client rushed the tapes away and I do not have access to them anymore. I have tried to reproduce the problem witht the same settings and deck but have not been able to reporoduce the problem.
I was mostly looking to see if this was a known glitch since I did update FCP and QT recently but right now I’m ready to conclude it was probably their source tapes.

It’s visible both in the viewer and on the external monitor. it’s very hard to see on the computer monitor but it looks ot be in QT too. i can’t get a screenshot right now but it is a faint white outline around faces probably no more than a few pixels wide. It is most apparent in high contrast scenes.

Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested but no luck. I double checked and it looks like the ghosting is apparent in the source clip itself. Must be a glitch with the KONA’s uncompressed to DV conversion.

Maybe downgrading to QT 7.2 would be the best way to go. Wouldn’t know how to go about that but someone here must.

That’s why I said to trash the render files. I’ve seen a number of times FCP gets a phantom render file where it thinks something is rendered but it really isn’t.
-
Maybe try trashing your render files for the project?

Too add one detail it’s only noticeable on an external video monitor
-
Easiest way in FCP would probably be use the copy or move option in media manager

I use a Kona2 for upconverts and AJA’s hardware does and excellent job converting SD to HD or HD to SD in realtime.

CS 3 actually lets you work in different pixel aspects too. I’d make sure they match with the sequence settings in both size and pixel aspect ratio. Any resizing on the project FCp is going to degrade the quality.
