That was it. Thank you so much! I was about to re-install the software. It’s always the dumbest things.

Thanks Again, you rock.

Robert,

One at a time, put a 59.94 clip into a 23.98 sequence. Make sure it plays ok, if FCP snags the wrong frame to start the pulldown removal process on it will playback looking jerky… If that happens adjust the in-point of the clip by a frame or two. Once it plays smoothly, export it as a self-contained clip. Import the resulting clip and whal-ah: You’ve got it the way you wanted it.

You can use the sequence settings to change the sequence’s time-code start time if you want to try and match up the original time-code, but 60 frame to 24 frame math can be tricky if you want it frame accurate.

Thanks for all the advice! I’m working with another editor (in another location) so we’ll need to agree on whatever filter’s we’re going with. Given the ridiculous amount of expected revision phases, I really don’t want to leave FCP if I don’t have to.

Keylight (as far as I can tell) does not work on an intel-mac.

Quoted from MacRumors.com…

In addition, the Xserve RAID product page (https://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/) now redirects to https://www.apple.com/server/storage/, which promotes a 3U external RAID enclosure by Promise. Apple has added the Promise RAID solution to its store and now presents it as the external RAID choice when configuring an Xserve.
External Storage

From Apple’s Site:
For massive storage needs, connect a Promise VTrak E-Class Fiber Channel RAID subsystem to your Xserve. The VTrak E-Class provides high performance and high availability through 4Gb Fiber Channel and dual active/active controllers. An Apple Fibre Channel card for connectivity is required.

Update for the searchable archive…

The Koutech ieee1394 PCIe card referenced in this thread seems to be working on the Mac Pro with only a few glitches.

My dropped frame issue seems to be OK now. I’ve ingested 3 half hour tapes with no problem.

However, if I put the Mac Pro to sleep with the card installed, the fans do not turn-off (the rest of the computer does!). Then when I wake the computer, the mouse continues to sleep. Sometimes an Apple-Tab keystroke will wake the mouse, but usually I have to unplug it from the monitor hub (Apple 23″) and plug it back in. Hopefully a firmware update will correct this, but the koutech website does not offer drivers/firmware for ieee1394 cards, it states that all necessary drivers are already built into Windows and Mac OS. Time will tell if this little bug gets fixed.

All-in-all, the FCP problem is solved. Thanks to everyone that helped me on this forum!

Aja website, for a ieee1394 PCIe card, really? Can you give me a link or clarify further?

Thanks for the diagram, that ends the speculation. The confusion stemmed from this thread… https://forums.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/new_read_post.cgi?univpostid=910919&forumid=8&postid=910919&pview=t

So I ordered the Koutech PCIe card linked above by Shane Ross despite any documentation that it will actually work on a Mac Pro, the manufactures website says it works on Dual G5 macs. No info whatsoever for compatibility with Intel-based Mac Pros, no firmware downloads either. I guess I’ll find out in a few days.

I can’t seem to confirm success of any PCIe ieee1394 cards on a Mac Pro. (See previous post for recommendations from about a few weeks ago.) There’s not a lot choices. If anyone can recommend??
