Try clicking in the Canvas to view it and press Shift+Z which is the default size for the current size of your Canvas window.

Also have you selected Safe RT (RealTime) under the left button labeled RT in the timeline. Also try a lower setting for Playback Video Quality, perhaps Medium or Lower. Leave Record to Tape set to Full Quality.

Are these captured clips of imported clips?

Is the ADVC100 on a seperate firewire bus from any external firewire harddrive?

I am assuming the $50/hr freelance rate is the editor only, without equipment right?

According to https://www.payscale.com/ the average in the San Francisco Bay Area is $50,000 and ranges from $22,500 to $79,500.

You can go there and fill in your own profile.

Another resource is https://www.editorsguild.com/wage.asp#

To determine a yearly salary just multiply the hourly rate by 2 and add 3 zeroes. It also works in reverse–$50,000 removing the three zeroes at the end and dividing by 2 gives you $25/hour. You are dividing by 2000.

To determine a yearly salary from a hourly figure–$15/hour times 2 is 30 and add 3 zeroes. You are multipying 2000.

There are actually 2080 hours in a year for a 40 hour work week, but using 2000 for your calculations make the quick math in your head easier.

Since time in memoriam the video solution that first comes to mind is to duplicate your video clip clean without your effect and place it above your clip with the effect. You can then mix back in some original color using opacity.

Other things that you can try beside the opacity of the clip above the other one is to experiment with the Composite Mode like Screen, Overlay, Multiply, etc. and adjust with opacity.

Also try swapping the clip with the effect with the clip clean and control with the Composite Mode and Opacity.

Are you capturing discreet logged clips?

Cadence errors can occur across stop/start points on the tape if the the camera was stopped and then started again.

It doesn’t sound like this from what you posted, but I had to bring it up.

Adam Wilt’s 24p: the AG-DVX100 and digital filmmaking is a link you may already have. If you did you would know the for 30fps 60i counting from the “AA” frame the split frame occurs at the 3rd “BC” frame. Determining the cadence of your footage requires a little more knowledge than just every 5th frame being a split frame.
