It seems that you need Red to see the video inside the Boris Keyframer. In FX you might try finding the clip’s media file in your scratch folder and import it temporarily as you build your effect in Boris FX. Don’t forget to hide the track when you apply to FCP.

I have had good results capturing DV via analog component in 8-bit uncompressed projects. S-video should be reasonable as well. Capturing via analog S-Video will save wasted storage on a DV captured file plus a 10-bit render in your project. You could always capture a couple minutes as DV and 10-Bit analog, place them in a sequence and compare the difference.
Good luck.

actually I was thinking more of some stilts that dry wall installers use 🙂

Thanks for you response. Actually, one of the first 1/3″, 3 chip DV cameras from Panasonic had a viewfinder that tilted down. It was the AG-EZ1U. It’s probably the exception you referred to.

You can sync it externally, but that won’t help with your VHS capture issues. The signal off your VHS machine is too unstable for Io’s frame sync to fully correct.

I had to add an external Frame Sync. I bought a used FOR.A FA-210 off E-bay for around $100. Based on my experience the Io Frame Sync does not weem to have a large enough window for VHS time base errors.

Yes, I’m working in DV so in the project preferences the field order is set to “lower.”

Walter:
Thanks for your feedback.I revisited this issue and interestingly enough the bad frames (actually a field) went away when I changed the text animation behavior from “Sequence Text In from Left” to “Blur Fade In.” Perhaps there’s something in that Behavior that FCP doesn’t like because the issue did not occur when I exported a movie directly from Motion. Also I noticed that even without rendering the error would show up in FCP as you scrubbed the unrendered clip.

I’m disappointed in it after I spent two days trying to get a layered Photoshop file to work. After saving and rendering, any subsequent edits to the motion file caused all of the layers to get mixed up (not the order, but the actual content in the layers). I searched the posts here and at Apple and the consensus seems to be that this feature is not well implemented. I concur.
Now I’m trying to create a simple text build totally in Motion (I’m using reveal from left effect). After render a glitch frame appears as each motion layer is revealed.
I had to resort to exporting the file from Motion instead of rendering in FCP. So much for the round trip concept.
But hey, it does a great job of animating stills and for creating lower third supers.
