Are you sure you are checking the video monitor and not the computer monitor? You see, there’s no way to check out Animation Codec to the video monitor. When you say “RGB monitor”, that indicates a computer monitor, so you are confusing me.
What kind of sequence are you working on? DV? Is the graphic on a whole, even integer for X, Y value (check the Motion Tab). Is it rendered with the dark green “FULL” bars checked?

Check the Help Menu within FCP. That way you can use the manual with its awesome search capabilities. The manual is really quite good in this respect. Look Up: Media Manager > Copy.

Next time, please do a search of the forum. We see this problem every day.
Thanks!

The Auto Select buttons must be enabled for that track to paste it where you’d like.

The first question we ask:
“How does it look in your video monitor?”

Hmmm…very strange.
Have you tried using the Media Manager to move the data? You should use the Copy function for this to be safe, then after ensuring that the media copied over, you can blow away the originals.

Hey Dave,
[David Notowitz] “1) When two sequences are open in timeline, I would like to know how to use a keyboard command to jump between tabs in the timeline win”
CMD + 4: Selects the Browser
Down Arrow Key: To select the other Sequence
Enter: Opens the other sequenceYou want a one key toggle between the two? Sorry. That’s a Feature Request. However, once you have this method down, you can do all of your editing very quickly.
[David Notowitz] “2) What is the best way to emulate the great and wonderful “highlights” slider option that is within the Sepia filter without adding the color shifts built into the Sepia filter? “
Try the Whites Balance slider in the Color Corrector 3 Way.
[David Notowitz] “3) When I use the mouse and click a tab to a new sequence in the timeline, the canvas doesn’t follow, which means when I hit the spacebar I see the video playback for the previously active timeline instead of the current one. What can I do to fix this? “
Mine doesn’t do that. Once I switch in the Timeline, the Canvas follows. I suggest trashing your prefs.
[David Notowitz] “4) It used to be that when I was working in the timeline and I would line up the playback “bar” over a cut and hit “OPTION-APPLE-T” that an audio dissolve would appear on whatever audio had cuts at that exact point on the timeline. If there were four tracks or one track of audio with cuts at that frame ALL the tracks would get a dissolve. Now when I do that only one track gets a dissolve. What’s going on here?”
Read up on Auto-Select. They have to be enabled for the tracks you want to adjust.
Some things have changed fairly drastically between FCP 3 and FCP 4.
Hope this helps you.

Yes, you really need a metadata controller. It doesn’t need to be as fast as the Xserve RAID though. You could even use a G4 as a metadata controller. Although you shouldn’t use one of the clients as a metadata controller (MDC), you can use a client as a failover machine.
You also need a fiberchannel switch, fiber cable itself, another ethernet card for each client (you need two ethernet connections) and a fiber channel card for each client as well.
The guys over at the Xsan Cow are all over it, though. As Graeme says, go over and check them out. I only know how to config a full blown Xsan. Workarounds are not my specialty, but I can say this…it’s probably better to set the Xsan up to spec.
