I ended up with a Presonus Firebox which I have to say kinda rocks. Thanks!

Good but not the best. if you only want chroma keying- get After FX or Commotion.

Don’t forget you need to make a new camera to animate with. The mapped object and its camera(s) must be linked together and the camera cannot move once it’s been initially placed.

Creat a very wide landscape graphic or just a gradient with blue at the top and brown at the bottom. Then use a throw behavior on it and make sure you have motion blur activated.

I’m definitely expecting some free drinks, cocktails, brochures and t-shirts!

Any of the big boys like B&H, EVS, AbelCine can give you a good price along with a proper U.S. warranty. Go much below the median price and it’s likely to be a scam or illegal import meaning no warranty. Keep in mind this is a popular camera so deals are not in abundance. That said a good used DVX100 or 100A can give you most of the key features for hundreds less. These cams last very well.

Hmm- are you monitoring from the computer speakers or the camera? That could effect the apparent sync or lack thereof.

The thing is QT player is just playing back, Motion is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting, processing and compositing and it depends on your graphics card, processor and ram far more than the QT player. In Motion audio sync is given a very low priority because it is a compositor not an NLE. So you may be better served by adjusting your workflow to not need audio sync while in Motion or use another codec that is less processor intensive for working- such as the Animation or DV codecs and then render out to HDV when the project is complete.

What system are you on? Motion plus HDV plus synced HDV audio requires top end processor power and gobs of RAM.

I’m with you on that- a “DVX100C” with native 16:9 would be a more affordable alternative to folks not needing HD right now.
