Looks way too large and “soft” to be a scratch. Maybe a scuff from a roller, or maybe some odd light leak or other optical flaw.

“Back in the day” a client had need for a correct-looking monitor (CRT) on set with talent. We had an old RGB color corrector, which allowed us to properly color balance the video going into monitor to approx 3200K. After chipping the cameras, we’d put 10 step greyscale into the monitor, then used the color corrector (and a vectorscope, kids) to black and white balance the video off the monitor as seen by the camera. Verified with bars, and final tweak with the actual video. Worked like a charm. looked great. Another cheat would be to feed the monitor video through a switcher and soft matte key in a little orange background to paint it up warmer. Not perfect but looks better than the sickly blue cast.

[Khashyar Darvich] “I have been told that through the CMX 3600 EDL, that I can only import a total of 2 video tracks.”
You have been told correctly.
FCP Manual. Volume One. Chapter 17 “Exporting Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) and Batch Lists”
“A superimposed video track, or any track other than V1, is called a key track in an EDL. Only
one key track can be in an EDL, so information for V1 and V2 tracks only appears in an
exported EDL. “You have to export separate EDLs for each additional track.

In your System Preferences, is your Startup Disk actually set to your boot drive?
Are you connected to the internet or other network, and have startup items that are looking for network services that it can’t find? For example, if you have Date & Time set to use a network time server, and you are not connected to the internet, startup will be delayed until the OS figures out it can’t connect to an external time server. Same for other services, servers or network drives.

Apple support document 313132
provides a solution which has worked for me and others.
“Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder’s Go menu, choose Go to Folder….
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove (put them on the desktop, for example)
these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg (if present)
Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.Open Disk Utility [from your boot drive, not the Install CD/DVD] and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.”Note that this does not involve deleting or moving the iTunes app itself.

[stu aull] ” I thought maybe I was also downloading the “Windows” version too.”
Microsoft may be very surprised about a “Windows” version of Mac OS X,
The OS updaters served up to you via Software Update are the appropriate versions for your computer (PPC or Intel).
The OS updaters on apple.com are clearly titled as to which machines they are for (or not). -
Apple always publishes a “combo” updater for those who are jumping beyond one incremental “dot” release. These are found listed on http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/. A run of Software Update should also have shown the combo updater listed as a choice.
Knowledge Base Document 303410 “About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo)” describes the combo updater, some important Read Me items, the process to get you to 10.4.6 in one step, and a link to the download. No need to download and apply individual updates.
It is a pretty hefty (140MB) download. -
Leader has a series of Application Notes (PDFs) on waveform monitors, vectorscopes, test signals.

and it was always better if the chromakey had a lot of fringe and frying.
