Q: Final Cut acting strange after update

I have a recently purchased Mac pro six-core with Mountain Lion OS.

I've installed Final Cut Pro version 6.06 along with a Kona 3 card. All was fine with Final

Cut until last week when I added RAM (real apple ram from the apple store) and did a

software update that included a OS update. Since then Final Cut has been acting very strange.

First I was getting messages that FCP didn't see the Kona card although it was still seeing video input when I opened the capture window. I re-seated the card and the RAM and ran disk utility and eventually the error messages went away. but when I open the capture window and try to capture a five minute segment from a digibeta deck using marked ins & outs the record stops a couple minutes in. It will cue to a timecode but the capture out point seems to be ignored.

I thought maybe it was a PRAM issue so I zapped the pram, at least I think I did-following the

instructions and hearing the 2 startup chimes, also the SMC. and still the same behavior.

The FCP setup has access to HD & SD formats through a run to the production floor, but these

record attempts were done using a digibeta deck setup in the same room with the same setup that's been rock solid up until now. Just wondering if any other Final Cut users have had any similar issues or if anyone has any insight or advise on what's causing this.

Thanks,
