It’s a sync issue. You have no genlock.
That being said it is still possible.
Are you coming in via composite or Y/C ?
Are you sure the input on FCP is correct?
Can you change the VHS deck Menu settings in regards to image stabilize?A work around is to dub the VHS to Beta then capture.

Who’s editing it? That is where you ask this.
30pn is true 30/fps
30p is in a 60i stream

Well if you are editing footage from the 900 then yes, it would be a good idea.
Drop your 900 footage (DVCPROHD) into native sequence.Transcode 5D footage to DVCPROHD to edit smoothly.
The question is which format do you have the MOST footage from?
What format must you deliver finished master in?Chris Tompkins

Self taught does not matter.
Look at your market.
You must rub elbows with others in the industry?

The other cam op was record to “HDV” they were subjected to the 1 hour tape limit.
With interviews you have breaks.
You Don’t “HAVE” to record to tape for HD.
How many P2 cards do you own? They can rent for cheap. In ATL you can rent a 64GB card for around $100/day.
Cheaper then a KiPro or something similar.Can you bring a laptop and be offloading P2 cards after they fill up?
Maybe this project with justify the purchase of another P2 card for you…?

Did you try just apply a dissolve on and off?
Did you double click the file and create the keyframes in the motion tab for opacity?
