You might try setting a custom setting in compressor (with your custom frame size, progressive fields, output format, etc.) and then export from FCP using that feature.

Are you trying to batch capture from your logs or use the capture now function?

A few things you might try realizing the more images you’ve got flying at once, the more stress your processor has to deal with which could be contributing to the problem–
If you haven’t done so already, try putting each image in its own sequence bed that matches your video bed settings (720p60). Drop your chroma key onto the image to remove background, and then take each of the newly created image sequences back to the original video bed to do the keyframing. Depending on how many images you’ve got flying at once and how quickly the motion is, you might also try setting your RT to “safe” and doing a hard render to make sure that everything is conforming to the sequence settings. Then switch the RT back to “unlimited” and see if it plays back your edit more smoothly with the render file helping it out.
Depending on the aspect ratio of your still photos (especially if you’re resizing them to fit HD aspect), you could be seeing square/rectangle pixel problems. A hard render file might help sort that out.
Good luck, hopefully this’ll solve what you’re seeing. If you get more questions, let me know.

What are the sequence settings you’re using? What format are your images? Are you using keyframe motion? Filters? What is your final output format?

John,
If you’re asking how to shut that zebra effect off, go to the “Range Check” option under the view menu in the taskbar. Just shut off the excess luma function. ( I think the shortcut is control-z)
We all use, and we all err. What can I say, right?

Check your drop frame/non-drop frame setting in FCP. Make sure it matches your captured footage.

Gary,
You can limit capture times in the “system settings” preferences. Check the scratch disk tab.

No problem.
I don’t use MPEG formats much, but when I do, streamclip has been a good program. I also like one called handbrake, which I use more often. MPEG is an interesting animal for sure.
Glad you got it figure out.

Paul,
What are your audio settings on your mac? After importing into FCP and playing, do the audio meters bounce or are they dead? Same question about audio meter in quicktime. It might be as simple as checking your audio settings in FCP. If Audio is present, make sure it’s routed to either the default/local speaker or to the speakers you’ve got set up externally. If it is something happening upon import of the video onto your mac, how exactly is it being transferred from the camera?

What are your settings on export–final desired codec/interlacing cadence/etc.? What exactly are you seeing in the “all hell breaks loose” final version after export? What are the exact settings for your edited timeline?
