It looks like a flashing bar sign from the movie “Blade Runner”

I don’t think you can upconvert and remove pull down at the same time. You could capture your material at 720 24p and then use the Kona to upconvert on output.

Did your sample rates change?

If you have AE CS4, the Mocha Track will help you immensely especially if the camera is zooming and shaking a bit. There are great tutorials here on the cow and on Mocha’s website. Likewise, within AE you’ll have better keying tools like the aforementioned Key Light.

Are you mixing sample rates? That’s typically the number one cause of having to continually render audio. Also, in your user preferences, you can set your audio playback from the default of 8 tracks to a higher number, which will cause less need to render audio. I’ve also experienced these strange audio issues with audio rendering. Also, as you mentioned, since you can blow away and re-render due to the motion graphics. You can use the render manager to just blow away your audio render files and then rerender just those. Rerendering your audio files shouldn’t take too long.

The post is old, but I just ran into your same issue. Axillary Time Code will be your friend in this situation. Use Modify > Timecode to create Axillary time code for all your clips (including the master that should span then together). Once you have corresponding axillary time code, create a multiclip synced using that axillary time code and you’re set.
I had an interview where one tape had to be switched out while the other camera kept rolling. I’m not even going to go into why they didn’t just stop shooting while the tape switched, but that said, this was how I synced them together.

Your render speed is going to be more dependent on your processors than on your ram. However, if your ram is configured incorrectly, it can cause issues. Did you add 12GB to your exisiting 4GB, or did you add ram to a total of 12GB. I’m currently running a total of 12 GB. 2 2Gb modules in slot 1 and 2, and 2 1 Gb modules in slot 3 and 4, respectively on both risers. You want your larger modules on the inner slots.

This posting is a year old, but somebody may still benefit from this so I’m posting my findings on this issue. I’ve noticed, that when I set my user preferences to “Make New Clip”, occasionally it will break up the clips with A/V 16 frames off sync. It’s consistently 16 frames each time. It’s also not a playback issue within FCP, since I checked the quicktime files. If I make the clip offline and recapture, it comes in fine and in sync.
The sync does not drift; it’s consistently 16 frames off. Also, it’s not due to full drives since I’m capturing to a near empty 5 TB, 5 way stripe and capturing DVCPRO HD. Not a very bandwidth-intensive codec. I haven’t found a pattern to it either, it seems fairly random.
The only suggestion I have, is if you’re using this method to capture your footage, make sure you double check the sync on each clip. Since recapturing a clip here and there, while annoying, isn’t a huge a deal, but giving your editor an out of sync clip is a big deal.

He wasn’t referring to the NLE Vegas, he was referring to the Vegas effect in After Effects. That’s probably the easiest way to do it, but as you’ve mentioned, you’re using FCP. If you don’t have After Effects, I’d recommend buying some stock of it, as I can’t imagine an easy way of creating it within Final Cut.
