Hi Chris,

As long as both computers you are using are the same version of final cut pro it shouldn’t make any difference at all.

Hello,

I used to have a problem like this when I was using Sony Vegas 8.
Two ways I used to fix it were making self contained movie files for the still images. Also if you are using jpeg files I would recommend you convert them to tiff files in photoshop.

They worked with me in Sony Vegas; however I have yet to have this same problem in final cut pro.

good luck 🙂

thanks for your advice Rafael, I have decided to buy a brand new samsung 1080p 32inch television because the current lcd i have also has alot of dead pixels in it but it was very cheap ( I guess you get what you pay for).

Anyways I was wondering also if you know if it is possible to view 1920×1200 on my iMac and 1920×1080 on the lcd?

Hello,
I know this thread is quite old but I have just been researching to whether the AJA IoHD will work with my new 3.06Ghz iMac and after many dead ends I ended up speaking to a local distributor and was told it will work quite well IF you can handle temporary storage on the internal Harddrive. As Shane mentioned earlier they only use one Bus so the only option is to capture internally and then remove the IoHD and connect it to an external harddrive as you normally would. I should also mention he suggested capturing prores because of the lower file size hence more room for footage.

Hey,

One suggestion is to copy all of the files on the pc then re-format the external HDD back to Fat32 again. Then copy all of the files back onto the external HDD. Macs tend to have a problem with Fat32 when files are over 2GB also…

We learnt at Uni the basics of delivering for broadcast like ‘super white’ isnt broadcast safe etc. but nothing really in depth. Our lecturer said he would gladly help us get it to air if he had time but would want us to do some research first.
I have just one more question, does it make a difference capturing via firewire from the camera or is it better to have a MiniDv deck?

I really appreciate your help.

Cheers.
