As Del said, a little more information about what kind of cartoon effect you are looking for would be helpful. However, you might want to try Sue’s Cartoon Effects. Here is the link – https://graphicssoft.about.com/od/photoshopactions/l/blactions02.htm

If you have it set to make a new clip on timecode break, Final Cut will find the break, then start capturing again and create a new clip. You will lose about 3 seconds or whatever your pre-roll is set for.
It won’t screw up your clip if you don’t do have it create a new clip but your timecode will be screwed up and won’t match what is on the tape.
If you truly don’t care about the timecode, I believe you just need to set the preference to “warn after capture.”Leigh

Try this – duplicate the clip without the filter. Put one of the non-filtered clips directly above the filtered clip. Set the layer with the filter to use the one above it (the one without the filter) as a track matte, either using alpha or inverted alpha.
This will should key out whatever part you don’t want.HTH.

This may sound very strange… but, are you doing a video only capture? I have noticed for HDCams (I think) that I have to capture with audio even if the tape is MOS. If I do a video only capture, I have the same problem and nothing I do in the capture presets make a difference. If I do a video and audio capture, everything is dead on. I’m using a Kona2 and haven’t done that particular flavor of capture, but if you are doing a video only capture, that’s my guess.

It probably won’t matter too much. The best and proper size is 720×480. 640×480 is square pixels for computer monitors to show the movie properly and used to be what old video cards would capture at. (As a side note, Quicktime sometimes converts the footage to 640×480 to show it to you properly. It should tell you, though, if it has been converted in the info palette.) The 853 is an anamorphic image, which you noticed.
As you also noticed, Final Cut knows what to do with these sizes by either scaling them up slightly and/or distorting them so they show properly.DVDs and DV footage is 720×480, though, so if you have one that captures at this setting, that would be the one to go with.

I think that it pretty much depends on when you buy CS2 and when they release CS3. My company upgraded to CS (basically, I was an idiot and didn’t see that CS2 was soon to be released) then a few weeks later they released CS2. Adobe shipped CS2 to us for no charge.
I don’t think that that is going to be the case here. If they are still in Beta development, it will probably be more than several months before it’s actual release.Good luck!

Actually, Digibeta is 10bit.

I’m not sure if it has been discontinued or bundled or what. I did find a couple of links to it, but only by doing a search. It certainly doesn’t seem to be listed anywhere.
Anyway, the two places I found it was on Roxio’s UK website (but only by doing a search): https://www.roxio.com/eng/products/edvd/standard/overview.html
and
Adobe’s website:
https://store.adobe.com/store/products/master.jhtml;storesessionid=FG4A4XO2CB4WZQFI0ILBT5OAVDJBIIV1?id=catPlugins_Sonic_eDVD&ref=SecondaryVery weird.
I guess, though, since they both offer a download, it doesn’t really matter where it is downloading from. 🙂

It kind of sounds like you might have some bad piece of video in your timeline since it freezes when you export it.
Try exporting a smaller clip. Set an in and out point then export as usual. You should be able to narrow down where the problem is. If the smaller clip plays out fine, then you know you have a problem somewhere in the timeline.HTH

I just did a test as well and it worked just fine. After you place the HD footage into the timeline, double click it and open it in the Viewer. It should show that it is scaled down. You should then be able to scale it at least up to 100% with no issues. I’m assuming that your frame rates match?
