I have also run across this occasionally and it is quite frustrating…. I have even tried to copy the time line contents into NEW project thinking it may be a corrupted project or time line… with no love…. so, I am sorry to say, I have not found an answer. But I am eagerly awaiting one here. I hope someone can answer this.
I have noticed that it seems to happen when someone brings me a project rather than a project that originated on my machine… In fact I have noticed that when I get projects that have originated on other machines rather than mine a bunch of little strange things tend to happen with the project (like renders acting weird, some (but not all) of the audio waveforms show up, and this media manage issue) but I can’t put my finger on the solution.Richard Cooper

Interesting, Yours is different… here is mine…
I must have these options because I am using a KONA card rather than capturing from Firewire… I am sorry, I guess I am stumped. Do you have another way to capture, like via HD/SDI?Richard Cooper

When you open the Log and Capture window there are three tabs in the upper right corner…. click on the “clip settings” tab and under the Audio settings there is a “master gain” slider. Adjust here.
Hope this helps

Check your “master audio gain” setting in the clip settings tab in Log and Capture window. Try pulling it down and see what happens. The default looks to be set at 1 so try setting it to 0 and see if this helps.

Same here, 2 edit suites running 10.6.3 w/ Final Cut 7 … A Mac Pro dual quad core w/Kona card as well as an i7 iMac (no Kona, obviously) with no issues whatsoever. SOLID

Under system settings in FCP, experiment with audio frame offset. It is set to 4 frames by default for firewire use. You set it to 0 if you are monitoring directly from the Kona 3, i.e SDI. Not sure what to set it for HDMI.
Set to 0 for HDMI as well here for our Kona LHi. sync is right on.

Interesting… It has been several years since I have even touched a tape, so I am quite rusty on this but I do remember fixing this same problem in the past the way I describe. I wonder if it is the difference of batch capturing shot by shot from a tape and capturing the entire tape down in one pass that could be the difference. I had always set my ins and outs and created a “batch list” and then went back and batched all the clips at one time so I ended up with a lot of individual clips in the bin. Did you say that you captured the “one pass” method? so you have one giant file in the bin? If this is the case then possibly just recapturing the entire tapes again and reconnecting to the new files would do the trick. You may get the warning that your new clips don’t match the original but it may still work.

You should be able to manually change the “out timecode” in the out column of the browser. Once you do this to match your actual tape end time code you should be able to capture without any further problems. Just be sure to set the out point a few seconds “shorter” that your actual tape time code for safety (unless you really need those last few seconds of a particular tape.
Good Luck!

What kind of i/o card are you using? If AJA, as Rafael states, the best work flow is to let the i/o card do the down convert from the HD timeline. FCP does a bad job of down converting the way you describe. The other option would be to down convert using Compressor and then re importing that SD master file into FCP and outputting from there.
Hope this helps

I could be wrong on this but it is just a thought… HDMI is an HD signal path and it may be that you cannot send a standard def signal properly through it. Have you tried letting the DVD player up-convert to HD and see if you get signal that way?
Again, just a thought. It could be the Kona just cant accept a Standard Def signal through the HDMI but I have not tested it, but someone here should know for sure.
