You could try encoding in Compressor with PCM instead of AC3. Just change the audio settings. Also, I would recommend reading this article I wrote about transferring HD footage to DVD. This may help.

What audio codec are you using for Export? If you are using MP4 this could be the result of badly compressed AAC audio. Try exporting to ProRes and see if the problem goes away.

Two things. Select the problem graphics file and then select “Modify->Conform to Sequence”. If that doesn’t do it, double click on the file. This will bring it up in the preview monitor. Select the Motion Tab, and then look at the distort settings and the x and y position. You may have to fix it manually.

What kind of device are you capturing from? It could be a slow hard disk, too. If you hard drive is getting full, try capturing to an external hard drive.

Sounds like a bad H.264 conversion. The problem may be caused by Final Cut just dropping the video frames for the H.264 encoding. This is easy to do with multi-pass H.264 encoding. Try exporting out of Final Cut in ProRes and then encode the H.264 in Compressor.

1-800-myapple I believe is the correct number. They don’t sell it on the online store, but there are extra copies out there.

What codec are the AVI or Quicktime files originally created in? I would export a test pattern out video out of Final Cut Pro with the same codec. Encode it with the Quicktime Player and import it into either Final Cut or Veescope Live and read compare the waveform monitor. In a grey ramp, the waveform monitor will be bent if there is a gamma shift. If there is no gamma shift, the waveform monitor will remain a straight line.

Which version of the Quicktime Player? Sometimes the Quicktime Player may render in RGB which will mess up the gamma. Again, I would highly recommend not using your eyes, but using video scopes to test for the shift. Different codecs display totally differently in Quicktime. The video scopes however will always tell you what is really going on in your video. I created a video about this on my website.

Usually, compressor 4 doesn’t have any problem encoding video correctly. However, some MP4 encoders run the video through RGB which will cause significant gamma shifts. You want to test your workflow to see where the change is happening.
Create a color bars pattern and a grey scale ramp. Then run it through your encoding workflow and bring it into Final Cut Pro and look at the video scopes. You can also use the video scopes is in the free trial version of Veescope Live. Look for changes in the grey scale or color pattern.

I would never recommend using any of the send to commands in Final Cut Pro. These commands are very problematic. I wrote and article on transferring HD video to DVD. This may help.
