Ah!…now that the problem is explained a bit better, I am actually able to reproduce the behavior. Since I am not a mouser while I am JKL’ing, (preferring keyboard shortcuts for almost all my edit functions) I had not detected this anomaly–since my mouse or pen usually remain static.
You cannot move the mouse or hover with the pen as you shuttle with JKL or you’ll get stuttery behavior to the point where FCP will stop. This appears to happen in not only the viewer, but the timeline and the canvas as well.
Does this happen only with Waccom?

The box you need is a BlackMagic HD-Link for accurate monitoring with your Cinema Display.

Mark,
Are you capturing entire rolls or “scene and take”?
Capturing tape rolls is at root of the problem, I think,

[JeremyG] “Keep their hands away from the mouse, IF they are using a wacom tablet, move the mouse or pen off it when using jkl.”
I have a Waccom and don’t have to do that.Kevin Monahan

Are you in Safe RT? High Quality?
BTW, I wouldn’t expect animated GIFS to work no matter what.
GIF is a very, very poor lossy format for your graphics. Stay with lossless PNG, PICT, PSD, etc.
If you can….Kevin Monahan

It’s not always Apple’s fault, so keep it cool on the Caps bro.
They read this forum very regularly and are “people” too.To me it sounds like user error.
Have you tried setting your Frame Offset to Zero?
All capture card users need that to be set to zero,
while DV users might feel more comfortable with a 4 frame offset.
The default is 4 since most users are DV. A playback offset of any kind will make
JKL somewhat sluggish.FCP>System Settings>Playback Control
Try it out.

The browser has a column for Anamorphic. Change the settings for the Master Clips there. After that, copy/paste the clips from the 3:2 sequence into the anamorphic one.

You need a video capture card to monitor HDV, like Black Magic or AJA.

You can open an iMovie project in FCP. File>Open will do it. My experience at least.

FCP is not Avid. You deal with FX quite differently in many cases. So, you might try to stop fighting it.
My advice is nest the layers and add the effect to the nest. You say you can because of your other edits. Can you be more specific? There’s always a way to do it in my experience.
