Don,
Yes I can still do whole clips. I even tried taking in subclips alongside the whole clips, but I just end up with the same empty movie files. Hopefully, someone with Leopard can chime in, too.
A quick question for you, though: do you have any external FW drives hooked up to your system? I’ve noticed some issues with clips failing on import when multiple ext drives are hooked up, but that was on an older G5. I didn’t think to try unplugging the Firewire drives and I’m not at work right now, so I can’t try, but thought I’d ask you.
Grasping at straws now, but sometimes the weirdest things end up being the culprit.

Oh, I forgot Tiger went up to .11 so I thought it was a typo.
I’ve tried the pref trashing and everything else I can think of. And it happens on two different computers: a 24″ iMac and a Mac Pro dual 3 (both running Leopard).

Don,
I wonder what the heck is going on. You’re using OS 10.4.1? I wonder if it’s a Leopard issue, then. What a pain.

I’ve been exporting directly from FCP timeline since v.5 without a problem. I’m mostly going from DV-NTSC to MPEG-2, though. Many many times without any problems and I’m particularly picky about such things.

Is this a case where repackaging and cutting in ProRes would be beneficial? Sorry if this is a dumb question – still trying to wrap my head around all the possibilities of ProRes.

Sean, I agree. The components should be available so others can at least view material. Same goes for XDCAM components.
Do you know if the Kona cards are any better with SD upconversion?
Thanks!

I don’t think it’s enabling itself. You’re probably hitting n when you drag and the setting resets after the action is executed. Whereas before the setting would stick (the way it should be).

Walter,
I can tell you 100% for sure I went through *every* possible menu configuration, including the one that Panasonic recommended. I talked to one tech on the phone and then another came out to the site and tried re-seating the FW card inside the deck, etc, but that didn’t work either. We finally decided to go full-res for capture.
Then, I spoke to another person in town with the same deck that wasn’t having any success, either.
So if you were having success, this tells me maybe there was a bad batch or something.

I went through hell with this deck a few months back. It was the flakiest device I ever used. The main problem was it would NOT downsample to DV25 as advertised (not even a panny tech could get it to work) so I had to go with full-res capture and that was flaky at best, also.
Thing is, I was working on Avid Media Composer, so it’s not Final Cut Pro that’s the problem. It’s the deck. You can probably search out my posts on the Pan and Avid forums here.
