I think you’re looking for something like a NewTek TriCaster:

[Mark Job] “1. Some editors have commented on there being too much rendering required to apply effects and modifications to the time line. Is this in fact true ? One editor refered to FCP as “render cut pro.” Is this really fair ?”
This is largely a matter of how your system is set up and your work practices.
A faster Mac with a better graphics card & faster drive array can play a lot of effects at medium or better quality in real time. If that’s OK by you, then you can work very quickly, and let FCP render on bathroom/lunch breaks or overnight.
If you’re in a client driven situation, however, you may need to render much more often to show the client what the real quality looks like. This may help some (not all) clients make up their minds faster, especially if they’re paying by the hour! 😉

[Rich Wells] “I use tungsten lights, however sometimes incandescent lights are also present in the scene.”
Not that it makes any difference, but incandescents are a kind tungsten light.
How did you monitor your footage in FCP? Were you connected to a video monitor? If so, you probably would have seen the darkening on your video monitor. Also, are you looking at the DVD on a TV? It may play back darker on a computer than on a TV.

You need to have a Mandarin True Type font.

The process is complicated, but you would duplicate the layer, then use a key or a mask to knock-out the area on that duplicate, then apply the tint.
If that’s too much work, take a look at Magic Bullet Colorista from Red Giant. It has a built in mask feature to isolate an area for you.

I think this is possible without any extra plugins. You can use the bezier or b-spline tool to make an open path set the, then in the Inspector, you can set the Shape Style to something like the airbrush or one of the light paths, and animate your spline. you may need to use masks to reveal parts of the spline over time.

Motion has several color corrections filters that might work for you, including an HSL color corrector, a tint filter, etc.

On a PCI-X mac, your only other choice for RAID 5 is the Areca 1100 series. The 1120ML supports RAID 3, 5 & 6 on up to 8 drives & has external “multilane” connectors (not eSATA).
You can find it at newegg.com, btw.
