Two options:
Buy Adobe After Effects, Trapcode Form, Trapcode Particular, Trapcode Shine, Trapcode Lux, Knoll Light Factory and Knoll 3D Flare and Cassidy Bisher’s Text Effects,
– or –
do what Cassidy Bisher did, figure out how to do it in Apple Motion, and sell Nick Falangas’ 3D Spinning Particle Effects yourself.

Well, then you have a great “client education” opportunity. You designed/edited on professional video editing workstation using a calibrated NTSC-spec broadcast monitor. She’s watching it on a cheap netbook she bought on sale at Best Buy, utilizing a TFT LCD spec’ed to the lowest bidder.
Which one do you think is going to look “right”?
-
Eliminate all the guesswork: use a broadcast video card and a broadcast monitor to view your work. If you only have your computer monitor to rely on, you’ll never really know what you’re going to get.

Sounds like you’ll definitely want to start looking for a good deal on a BlackMagic or Kona card. Or here’s a great deal on an Aja IoHD!

Experiment! Use the settings that works best for you.

Hum remover filter. Normalize audio.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it funny that he wrote a field guide on audio for video? 😉
Sorry. I couldn’t resist.

Dunno. I learned everything I know about it reading the snippet from the user manual you included in your original post. 😀
Just curious, what hardware device are you using to capture?
-
Yes, overhead will kill you with a small file like that. Do an hour-long file and the multi-core process will smoke your single-core compress.

The two-channel audio limit is a limitation of *Firewire*. As long as you’re capturing using a hardware device that supports 4 audio channels, you should be fine.
I capture HD-SDI video through an older BlackMagic HD Extreme board using Final Cut Pro’s Log & Capture and it captures 4 channels with no problems.
