[george] “Even so, when I try to render it, it takes no time, and has no affect on the results. “
Under the Sequence Menu > “Render Selection”…
Make sure ALL of the choices on this menu have a “check” next to them.
The same goes for the “Render All” menu selections.You should NEED to render any high-rez graphics keyed over video to get full quality on output.
BTW, if you STOP or START the roll at any point, make sure that the the Vertical position (the right-hand number under the “Center” settings) at the pause is sitting on a FULL EVEN INTEGER (NOT an Odd number nor any number with a decimal “fraction” after it.)

[george] “However, this clip is not asking to be rendered. No red bar, as its basic motion, and should work in realtime. “
Well, that may well be your problem.
Never assume because something does not appear to be “asking” to be rendered that its OK as-is.
You should render virtually ALL effects after the edit process to achieve the highest quality on output.
(This also includes the often-forgotten step of Audio Mixdown.) -
Is there an echo in here?

The “speed” of the motion will have a very major affect on the clarity of text as the interlace of the video image can “interfere” with the perceived resolution of intricate small objects (like text).
Are you sure you have your render set to “High Quality”?
Change the “roll-speed” (length of TIME the effect takes place) a couple of times, render after each adjustment and see how that affects the image quality.

Any ideas? “Not a clue.
You might try to Trash your FCP Preferences and try a test capture from that reel again.Click the following link for instructions on how to do this…

Another method is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCP & FCE.Download these free Apple Scripts at

You can rent them.
A mixer is fine to use, but the lack of one was NOT the cause of your noise problem.

I believe I answer this same question 3 or 4 times a week.
The audio is, by default, MUTED to the Mac’s speaker output during Log and Capture.
You should normally monitor the audio directly from the camcorder or deck you are using to capture.
NOTE:
Many people have reported that noise or “pops” appear in the captured clips if the Mac audio is left on WHILE capturing… so may want to choose “Off During Capture.”However, there is a way you can turn ON the Mac’s speaker if you really WANT to:
Final Cut Pro (menu) > Audio/Video Settings… > Capture Presets (tab)
“Duplicate” the Capture Preset you are now using, when the window opens rename it (I added “MacAudioOn” to the file name).
Click open the “Advanced” button in the Audio section and turn speakers to “ON during Capture.”
The Mac speakers/audio-out will now play Audio during the preview in the Log and Capture window. -
[Kevin Monahan] “Use a freakin’ TRIPOD!”
I assume you’re jest jesting (at least a bit).
I love my heavy-duty tripod, but sometimes you’ve gotta shoot while moving from place-to-place.
And I don’t always have access to the more exotic ($$) camera mounts.
A classic example is when I am high atop a 40-foot cherry-picker arm and the wind kicks in.This program is flat-out amazing.
(Check out their demo shot from the bicycle riding over the large cobble stones.)I tried it on similar footage that I had on my disc, and… it actually works!

Then you might want to do this in iMovie.
I just read that the latest version will automatically place a dissolve at every start/stop point on the imported tape if you choose this option.
