    Still working out he kinks on our new IO. One of the kinks deals with soft, feathered edges. Seems whenever we use the Soft Edges filter, Feather crop or Mask Feather, the soft part of the image flickers like crazy. This doesnt happen on our Cinewave or our IO LA using the same images. Anyone else have this happen?

    You didn’t mention what version of FCP you’re using but I’ll assume it’s version 5. I installed v. 5 two weeks ago and used it for a few days before reverting to 4.5 due to the numerous problems. The only project I opened in ver. 5 was originally created in ver. 4.5. One of the problems was the soft edges on some oval shapes were flickering. I changed the motion filter to fastest and rerendered and that took care of the problem. Don’t remember where the setting was since it’s a new (buggy) feature in ver. 5.

    is your rendering mode set to 10bits or high precision YUV? Some of those filters do not work well when rendering in more than 10bits. Solution is to nest the problematic clips in a 8bit sequence.
