You are watching interlaced video on a non-interlaced display, so of course you are going to see interlacing on your computer monitor. Monitor your video through your capture card or camera on a video monitor and it should look fine.

I don’t think it is a bug. If you digitize material with FCP and output from FCP you should not need any gamma fixes. If you bring clips into After Effecta and/or create graphics with AE, then you need to apply a gamma curve to the incoming AE video files and the subsequent file you make when you render something. At first it is a pain, but I’ve got the filters saved as Favorites in AE, so it really does not take much more time.
I also believe any trans communication between Apple Pro apps you should be fine also.

FCP applies a gamma curve to all imported footage when using DV, uncompressed 8bit or uncompressed 10bit. Run your photoshop through a gamma filter. I saw the same problem when I transitioned from Media 100 to AJA/FCP.
Adam Wilt emailed me the following:
Try applying a gamma correction to the test patterns (it’s either 1.2222 or 0.81818; I forget which one you use in which direction off the top of my head. Chris Meyers says he uses 1.228 and 0.824, FWIW). You should be able to get everything back on target this way.
That should correct the problem.

I knew I should not have read the manual or actually looked at the digitizing options…silly me. 😉

Import your 2 layer sequence with no fades at the beginning and end into a new sequence and do the fades in/out on the new master sequence.

Ummm, doesn’t FCP 4+ have autosave. I am pretty sure I remember that option in there somewhere.

Actually I think you can batch digitize clips and tell FCP to add handles also. However you do it, it is going to involve some work on your part if you want to do it FCP.

Yes do not let FCP auto split the clips for you. Digitize it as one clip and do it manually and you should be able to put the crossfades in.

Here is how you can do it in FCP, although it will involve actual editing work on your part.
Digitize the entire clip, drop it on the timeline, manually go through it and use the razor tool to split the clip whenever there is a scene change, then go back and add your crossfades. If you want to get nitpicky and not cut the audio, you can de-link the clips and then only split the video clips.

Can you show us the HTML code you are using to stream the movie? My gut feeling is that could be the problem.
