Flavio,
There is something definitely wrong with your system. I’m not sure what it is. It’s ashame you don’t have access to a second system (someone elses.)
You’re having a number of problems that many people aren’t having; I don’t know if its the video card (it could be – there are people reporting problems with (for example) the x1900 card.)
If you’re getting a better look with frame blending over optical flow, then yes, something wrong. The exact problem you described (items going backwards) is something I’ve seen a number of times.
Optical flow (as well as avid’s fluidmorph) are essentially doing the same thing (with different math, each proprietary.) They’re morphing between the available frames to yield new synthetic frames.
I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Well, if you have the Media 100 codec installed, you could compress the files as h.265 (in either cleaner or compressor) and get fantastic looking fairly small files.
But I wouldn’t edit with them.
I’ve seen one or two workflows using alternate QT codecs that use lossless compression to shrink the file (and therefore still useful for editing)

Optical Flow…
Open up the keyframe editor for Optical flow – you’ll find with a little tweaking the curve now won’t go downwards (backward movement in time.)
Has upgrading to QT 7.3 alieviated any of your problems?

It’s possibly that one disk is bad – Walter was right – this is a bad setup for a raid.
If both disks aren’t operating (and operating well) neither will show up. You might want to check to see if Disk utility sees both (or only one.)

Dammit, Jack, you’re dead right. I only tried NTSC.
I will tell you I fired up Squeeze and Episode and both allowed me to do so in HD.

You can’t take the project over – but you can take a sequence (or several sequences) and choose “Send to compresor”…or alternatively export out a QT reference.

Create an MPEG 2 setting in compressor. Switch the stream usage to Generic. On the Quality tab, set the Mode to One pass CBR.

Eva,
Not really.
Since you’re ‘zooming in’ you’re reducing the resolution. You could zoom in ‘less’…you could also bump FCPs rendering quality to ‘best’ (sequence settings.)
But think about it – if you blow up a clip, some of the resolution *has to be* removed. Items like Red Giant’s instant HD (while amazing) aren’t going to ‘add’ resolution back – they’re using a different math to blow up clips (than the standard FCP methods), in an attempt to resize for HD.

I agree with Charlie here on both items…
a) Subframe audio slipping
b) most people don’t notice a problem until *3 frames* out of sync…With that being said, are you sure your monitoring FCP correctly? If you’re monitoring the footage @ the NTSC monitor…pipe your audio through there (and not through FCP on your computer.)

Everyone has nailed it – you need to set up Compressor for clustering;
You may need to reinstall compressor (as well) because likely, the installer had the auto clustering to ‘off’. Last, make sure you have a Gig E network, as you’ll be pushing around files and it’s important that they go fast, fast, fast.
