[Jeff Carpenter] “But once you get the DV section to capture it SHOULD be possible to set the deck to do a “VHS-to-DV” dub and have it capture directly. “
Another aspect of this is… you can not use FCP to control the VHS deck… and you will not have any TC so you’d just have to “Capture Now” and manually play the VHS tape.
In a learning lab, this is very poor technique to teach young editors.
I strongly suggest the “dub to DV” approach and then using FCP to control a DV deck with TC.
It will allow PRE-LOGGING, BATCH CAPTURING, anduse of TC fro re-capturing (off-line-to-on-line, or otherwise)… something that should be standard operating procedure, especially in a production class situation, IMHO. -
[EricRW] “My question is, how do you, or can you, lock the final cut pro settings so that students dont go messing them?
“You can’t.
[EricRW] “I have a Dual DV/S-VHS deck made by JVC, some of you may know it. I cannot figure out how to import VHS tapes…”
AFAIK, you can’t (directly.)
But you can dub a VHS to a DV tape and import that… MAYBE.
Because these units are notorious for their DV sections NOT WORKING with FCP.
If you are lucky enough to have this unit be controlled by and can capture to FCP, go for it.[EricRW] “nor can I figure out how to import an analog signal going through the input.
“Again, I don’t know that this unit has that capability.
These dual VHS-DV decks are simply not the best choice for working with NLE’s like FCP.Sorry.

First off, RED titles… I don’t think that’s such a good idea in DV Codec. 😉
Otherwise, read the following.
Great Titles with the DV Codec

It should help you with building titles.

[Andrew B.] ” after capture of the tape it hangs on the “Analyzing DV Audio. Validating Audio Data” screen for about 30 minutes”
Do you use “Capture Now” and capture an entire tape at once?
What happens if you mark IN & OUT points (for one or several smaller clips), save those marked clips, then use “Batch Capture”?
I avoid “Capture Now.”

Try looking here:

This seems to be the answer to many of these kind of problems.
Worth a shot.

A assume you mean you are scaling up the size of the image (zooming in), and not increasing the actual FONT size IN the title.
Are you starting with a large-size font in the original; title and then scaling it back before you start?
You should not attempt to start with, say, a 25 point and try to “zoom in” to make it a 50 point.
(You’d want to type it in a 50 and use the “scale” setting to make it a 25, first.)Regardless, scaling or rolling or panning text/graphics on-screen will always cause a certain amount of “line-crawl” as it moves.
You can try adding a Gaussian Blur filter to the graphic set to a 0.25 to 3.0 setting and be sure to RENDER.
Make sure that your start and end-points on the “move” are on FULL, EVEN numbers in the vertical position setting.
And be sure to only monitor for QUALITY only on an external NTSC (or PAL) monitor.

Do you have the control setting on “non-controllable device”?

Those fewer six pixels would not stop any of my local stations from running a paid TV spot, no.

Video Filters > Matte > Mask Shape: Shape>Oval.
Also add: Mask Feather
Adjust the size of the “oval” and the softness of the “feather”.
Done.
