You need to check your quality in a video monitor. Are you even using one?

His card may be set for the effects handling be handled by the card, and your rig may be set for effects handling to be done by FCP. Check your prefs.

FYI: You are also going to need a real video monitor as well as your computer monitor. You know that right?
BTW, I like one larger computer monitor, btw. Too much neck swiveling is no bueno.Kevin Monahan

You can use the Media Manager to recapture only the clips in your timeline.

You are also viewing your QT exports at Low Quality. To set the high quality flag, you’ll have to check it in Window>Show Movie Properties>Video button>High Quality.

If you installed an upgrade with your drives mounted, it could render them permanently unreadable. Has anyone else experienced this with 10.4?
No, I’ve never seen that.Kevin Monahan

When using portable FireWire drives, you always have to be prepared to lose your media. With any drives this can happen, but it does more regularly with FireWire drives because many do not know how to properly care for them.
The biggest problem is that the untrained editor will not generally unmount the drive before shutting down. Even worse, they do not know they need to do this to prevent this problem. Everything can be going along just fine – then POOF – your drive won’t mount.
Not unmounting prior to shutdown may corrupt the B-Tree and could screw up your file structure. Usually, Disk Warrior can recover and rebuild the directory and the media will come back online – not always – but usually.
Hot patching and hot swapping may also create the same problem. Always a better idea to unmount, shut down, then disconnect.
People generally abuse their drives: don’t put them in a cool area, toss them around, give them adequate power.
They work great, but if you thrash them – they’ll screw you. Sooner or later.

Look in the Motion Tab. Go to the first keyframe for “Center”. Take a look. Is the X value an even number?
If you fly graphics, the X values in the Motion Tab’s “Center” parameter must always be keyframed on an even number. I don’t know how to be more clear than that.

I wish that were the case. If so, I’d be able to monitor my DVCPro HD renders through my cheapo Canon Camcorder and to my SD monitor. No way in hell. 😉
