Limit your FCP headings to the ones you have in your Excel file.

Keyspan Twin X-28 USB to serial adapter is what I use for deck control. Not sure what logging software will use this but it works peachy with FCP.

I hope quality is not your main concern with this project. 2.5 hours on the a DVD-5 is not going to look great. The best way to do it is by determining how much the audio will take first. I’d export a AIFF file from FCP of the audio and compress that in A PACK. AC3 192. Once you know the size of the audio portion then test compress the video to fit what is left. Remember that the 4.7 GB disc is only 4.3GB. Audio will be real close to 300MB so your video target size will be close to 3.99 GB or less.

You said BetacamSP, uncompressed? If you are doing uncompressed then that ups the stakes. For that I would recommend SCSI or Fiberchanel. I have done some uncompressed with 800Mb Firewire but it isn’t very reliable in my opinion.

If you compress your footage then firewire drives work great. I’ve edited 2 to 1 footage for years on 400Mb firewire drives.

FCP won’t do that. It is an editor not a live mixer. You need to use live production equipment for the key if you want immediate results.

Go to pull down menu – View> External Video> All Frames. if that doesn’t work try trashing FCP prefs and reboot.

Try trashing ALL prefs. Users>Your User>Library>Preferences drag to the desktop. Relaunch FCP and then start putting Prefs back.

Red is NTSC’s most bothersome color. It bleeds like a stuck pig. It could be a saturation issue. Try to tone down to saturation and see if it lessens the effect.
