I used discreet edit 6. MP4 came off a client’s flip cam (USB file Xfer). Is it a lengthy process to convert? Is it converted upon import or rendered on the timeline?

Thanks.

Interesting you should say that. Just got everything loaded and imported an mpeg-4 file. I can set ins and outs but it won’t play back on the timeline without rendering. Keep in mind, I set the defaults to HDV. But my understanding is that you can mix formats. This is my first go, but I’m used to just tossing clips on a timeline regardless of where they came from.

Thanks, Shane. The claim of hardware acceleration comes right from the Kona LHe description on their website. My main concern is true realtime performance of certain tasks…mostly basic transitions, PIP and video frame rate changes (slomo). If FCP does this with the configuration I’ve described, I’m good.

Thanks again for your time.
