Good point….this Kona 3 has been running perfectly with our FCP system for years.

March 17, 2011 at 1:05 am in reply to: Quality issues with animation using Compressor in creation of SD DVD

Simplest way to make a great looking DVD from an HD timeline in FCP is to Export a test clip (as Jeff suggested) as Quicktime ProRes 422 (does NOT need to be HQ) and scale it to 720 x 480 widescreen. If you are in a progressive timeline in FCP then you don’t need to specify fields in the ProRes advanced box.

Bring that into compressor and I’ll bet that if you even use 6.8 mbps CBR it will still look great.

It’s the only way we get rid of the jaggies.

Try it and report back. Remember just a test clip with some of the more challenging clips.

March 13, 2011 at 10:37 pm in reply to: Colour grading monitor

We moved to the Panasonic Plasma because we have the Kona LHi with HDMI out. Not only do they look great but you cahbe nearly 180 degree off axis viewing with no shift in color or blacks. We have a professional Panasonic 17 inch LCD with SDI in and its off axis is pretty terrible. A 24 inch JVC professional in another room on a Kona 3 is the worst and it is backlit. I’m not always straight on to the monitor with a client in the room so I’m somewhat flyng blnd.

With the consumer plasma I can be way off but still see the actual color.

But they have no SDI in so you are stuck with either running component or HDMI if you have it.

Assuming you are on a PC, Mark could be right.

But since 1996 on Mac Avids, and now on FCP Intel Macs, we are all connected to the web, connected to each other, editing off each other’s drives, connected to shared storage, checking email, surfing the COW, uploading files, downloading files, encoding in the background, rendering a FCP timeline and burning a data DVD in Toast.

At the same time.

It’s just how we roll.

Six workstations and no trouble we couldn’t handle in 10 years.

One of the reasons I like spot work is just that restriction of telling the most and best story in only about 810 frames (when you add in the fade in and fade out)

We don’t put fade in and outs on spots anymore. :30 wall to wall spot. I notice in spot breaks these days there is no black between spots anymore. Check it out. Only after the break and returning to the show is there a fade up to the program.

March 13, 2011 at 1:40 am in reply to: Confused about ‘Keyframes’ — less=lower quality?

And it also matters if you set a bitrate rather than choose a quality slider. My guess is if you specified more keyframes with a quality slider at high it would make a larger file than less keyframes at the same setting.

But when you set bitrate and keep that the same for two encodes, the one with less keyframes (or let’s say optimum number for the footage) would look better because the in-between frames would get more bits.

It also sounds like you might have changed the frame rate mid stream or the clips changed their frame rate. Could that be it?

We had plenty of issues with CS4 and the Kona 3. Never tried it with the LHi system. On the audio issue, we just toggled the desktop and back to FCP and the audio came back.

But we surely did not have a great experience with Premier CS4 and the Kona 3.

Again, this was CS4 and the 7.5.1 driver and Adobe utils with a Kona 3.

Macdrive should be required on every PC sold. Stable since 2003, never had an issue and makes any PC compatible with Mac drives.

When you export to QT with current settings check the box that says recompress all frames and see if that doesn’t fix the issue.
