You are missing nothing. This is a stock footage joint that has the film effect you are looking for, the film roll out.
I haven’t seen that effect done without the use of this film-out footage, or similiar film out footage.

No. NONE is a codec. Only exporting with as a QT movie with the sequence settings is a true lossless way of doing it.

Export at the native rate you are editing in…use Quicktime Movie, sequence settings, NOT quicktime Conversion. Even if you export uncompressed, you are compressing the footage. Only a QT Movie, self contained will add no further compression.

Why capture with the Kona 2? Why not diret firewire in like it is designed?
If you are going direct to DVD, and you shot 24p (720p24) then capture at 23.98. 29.97 and 59.94 are for broadcast delivery.

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane’s Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows VideoTechinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can’t view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

To be honest, you are not the first person who needed to do this. Others who have had this need captured their HDV as DVCPRO HD…thus the reason we are all saying take that route.
How did they do it? Capture Cards and decks…ones that worked together. Either a Kona LH and an HDV deck with component outs, or a Kona 2 with an HD/SDI>Analogue converter box to get the footage in.
If you don’t have that, you need to find a place that does, or buy it. if you will be shooting a LOT of HDV, that it might be a wise investment. HDV as a format should never be used for editing…I argue against using it for shooting, but that stops no one…thus the need to capture it at a more compatible and editable format, DVCPRO HD.

No No No no no!!!!
HDV is by far the WORSE FORMAT YOU CAN EVER WORK WITH. NO…work in a DVCPRO HD format.
Avoid HDV at all costs. Get your footage out of that format as soon as your can. the Kona works with DVCPRO HD footage very well. I just onlined with it and it went smoother than anything…
