It should work just fine. Use the uninstaller and uninstall the BMD drivers. Download and install the latest package. do not use the CD that may have come with your card. If you still have problems, try changing the slot you have the BMD card in.
BTW, make sure you are updated to the latest Avid software and not v6.0 (6.0.3?) which is kind of buggy. Not related to your problem, but can introduce other difficulties. Avid 6.5 is even better, but that’s a paid upgrade.

If you have matching TC you don’t need PE.
Autosync is wonderful. -
Did you quit MC and relaunch? some of the AMA prefs need that to take,

I’ve found PE2 can be hit or miss with Avid…from v5-6.5.
Had some good success and some ridiculous poor efforts with no discernible cause.
PE3 is a very different beast and seems to work better.
You might want to give the trial a go,

Sounds like its hitting an unrendered effect.

Most definitely.
It’s the difference between playing a piano and typing.

I’m with Joseph…however, since you have to try to make it work…maybe you can show him the raw material and have him help you choose a temp track from a music library that will be similar to where he wants to go with the piece. Then you will only have to make minor (hopefully) tweaks when the real music is ready.

The installer for FCS 2 was written for the Power PC processor (Power Mac G4 and G5). It will not work without Rosetta on a Mac with Intel Processors. Mountain Lion does not support Rosetta. I think Rosetta will only work up to Snow Leopard (10.6x)
Ironically, the applications themselves are Universal Binary. They will run just fine in PPC or Intel. It’s only the installer that won’t run without Rosetta.
There is no easy solution for you.
Perhaps find a copy of Snow Leopard and install it on a second drive. Then boot from that drive to do the install.

HDV uses non square pixels. Thats why its 1440 x 1080. The edit system should automatically stretch HDV to fill the 1920 x 1080 frame.
If you work in a Pro Res sequence set to normal 1080i dimensions, 1920 x 1080, with square pixels, the HDV video should resize accordingly and not appear squeezed.
You then make your graphics with square pixels at 1920 x 1080…not 1440 x 1080. Everything should appear clean.
Then you down convert for DVD. Things should improve with this workflow.

Avid comes with Avid FX, which is really a rebranded version of Boris RED. You launch the Avid FX interface within Avid,
Go to BorisFX website to see everything it does.
Avid has 2 other titlers. Title Tool, which is pretty basic, and Avid Marquee…
Marquee can do quite a bit more as far as animation is concerned. Good quality but very slow rendering.
