    Happens on Lion too. It gets confused with multiple monitors.

    Select one of the preset workspaces, everything will become visible. MOdify to your needs then save it.

    From lots of experimentation and experience, I would say the Sapphire effect is actually rather poor at this. It creates an obvious “film effect”‘, which might set off alarm bells with the network. I would avoid using their deinterlacing filter or their Film Motion Controls. The grain, gamma and exposure controls in Sapphire’s Fim look however are very good, but you need to dial them down a lot from the default settings to be convincing.

    I have used the method Bouke suggested…apply a Time Warp effect, leave the speed at 100 percent, then set it to Fluid Motion, Interlace in, Progressive out. The result is usually very convincing. Render is very very slow, though.
    You should also render it before doing any color correction or applying any other filters. If you cannot afford the colossal render time, or are getting strange artifacts (fluid motion sometimes does that depending on the footage) you might try Interpolated field instead of Fluid Motion. It renders much faster, but the quality is not as high…but may be acceptable depending on the footage.

    Are you saying your Media is on an NTFS volume?

    There should be no issues in compatibility. I move Avid projects between Mac and PC all the time.

    Make sure you are thinking in terms of using this card beyond Final Cut Studio.

    Remember, its a dead product. FC Studio is discontinued. As of now FCP X cannot use any third party I/O cards.

    Ask questions in the appropriate forums for how it works in Premiere Pro and Avid, as eventually you will probably be switching.

    Have no idea whether it will work or not, but have you tried Fast User Switching running AE as another user?

    In the project window…go to your Media Creation Setting.

    In the project window, go to the Format Pane.

    In the Help menu, go to Media Composer Help and read about this stuff.

    In your Media Creation settings, what is the resolution set to?

    What is your project format set to?

    Jobs was criticized for his stance on Flash, but in many cases he was right about it.

    It’s a mess that causes all kinds of instability that often gets blamed elsewhere.

    Just promote the clip to a TimeWarp Effect in the Miotion Effect Editor. Then you can change the speed in the Sequence all you want without going back to the bin.
