Yeah, not tracking the fill layer turns the effect into cheddar.

Well, it’s not exactly an answer for you, but here’s my workflow that you might take some portion of:

All media, projects, etc are ingested into a RAID 5 work drive. Nightly backups (altered data only) onto a single cheap, slow external drive. (hey, I’m not watching it… and this backup is just paranoia on top of the RAID 5 anyway.) Archival onto a RAID 1, so when full, 2 bare drives go onto shelf. External bare drive mount device for accessing archived drives. If any archived drive has issues, it’s mirror is cloned onto new drive to maintain 2 drive set.

All drives are regularly scanned with Disktracker, simple, fast database app. Makes finding old projects very fast.

Does your budget only cover post? Or can it include production? If the latter, do what Craig said. Leave all post as-is. Buy something like a Panasonic AG-AC130. Fantastic optical lens (good for eyeball shots), all manual or all auto & anything in-between. SDHC card-based workflow. Ingest into FCP 7 will transcode into ProRes of your choice. Start delivering HD, or, worst case, start building an HD library.

If you *must* spend your budget on post (ie, software), buy the Creative Suite. And FCPX. And don’t loathe X…. I did too, but then I started using it. Now I just dislike parts of it, like I do all the other NLE’s. (Yes, including 7, but that had the fewest dislikes, lol.) And when you hold your nose and sit down to learn X, toss your thoughts of how a NLE should work out the window, do the tutorials (Lynda, Ripple, et al)…. let the X way flow. Otherwise you’ll hate it. But it’s got a lot going for it, if Apple only fixes what’s broke….

Yeah, and I find the red peaks to be really handy for spotting “oops” moments.
