Hi Brian, it’s been a long time since I had this problem, but I do remember it had something to do with a Universal Access setting in the system preferences. I think one of my kids accidentally changed a setting. Either VoiceOver was set to on, or Zoom was set to on.
Check that out and let me know if it fixed the problem

Yes, I even tried a matte color from an alpha channel of the logo right in Final Cut.
It’s driving me crazy. The only thing I haven’t tried as an experiment is to build it into an uncompressed timeline to see if it goes away, but I’ll still have to output it as a DVCPRO50 anyway.
Thanks Dave for your input. Keep thinking. We may stumble on something.

Thanks Dave for responding so quickly, but this old dog has been watching the vector from the get go. I’ve never had trouble like this before. It’s a fairly blocky logo too, so it should have no trouble keying properly. I’m stumped.

Thank you for your sound advice Jeff. I will take it all under consideration.

I do not think it is in the remote mode. The remote button is a soft key, (F12 I believe) but the panel is locked with the words (SY-Panel communications stop) and no buttons or soft keys work. So I cannot know for sure if it is in remote mode. I looked for error codes in the manaul but this one is not listed. I’ve tried turning the machine off and on many times and re-seating cards.

Thanks
Jim

Thank you Dave, I did find it shortly after I posted. This is a good lesson. When in a panic, don’t panic, calm down and focus. I ran the head cleaning tape, which I don’t like to do, but it did work and now all is well.
Best,
Jim
