After Effects has powerful text animation built-in with presets allready made… hundreds of them… including what you are looking for.
Read the HELP file for thumbnail examples of each.
Open the Presets Tool Palette and drop the preset onto a text layer.

Artbeats has clips of glass shattering that works very well for this sort of thing. The one I use is part of the Gun Stock collection.

In theory, you should be able to “re-link” the DV clips to the HDV files. I have not tested this. Worse case scenario is that you manually match the footage. If using the EDL, the only things that matter are the reel name (Tape Name) and the Timecode.
Premiere, to my knowledge, does not handle Cineon or DPX files. You will need to convert them in AE (Be sure to do a LOG to Linear conversion… Interpret Footage/More Options). You could create both HD and DV proxies at the same time (Don’t forget that you can have more than one output module!)
You should assign unique start Timecode to the conversion comps in AE.

ProspectHD requires the AJA Xena-HS card. It is not a stand-alone product.
None of these products will work with your Decklink SP card.
However, Cineform showed at NAB thier support for the Decklink HD cards.

1) Create a DV project, capture using the camera/deck’s built-in DV downconversion and edit the offline. You will need to create DV proxys for the DPX footage.
2) Use Project Manager to create an “offline” trimmed project with only the needed footage (plus handles).
3) Batch capture the offline HDV footage.
4) Import the DPX sequences (or transconverted files) and manually match them in. Remember to Interpret the correct frame rate.
5) Color correct and output.The Premiere project will open in AE natively if you need to paint.
You might want to look at the Color Finesse plug-in.

Cineform’s AspectHD codec is for HDV cameras only. It is not appropriate for use with DV footage.
If you have the Blackmagic Decklink SP card in your system you can do the following:
1) Create a DV Project, capture firewire, edit and export to AVI. Encode the AVI using the 10bit Blackmagic codec.
2) Create a 10bit PAL Blackmagic project, import the AVI and output.

Go to Adobe’s After Effects supported OpenGL cards and find the latest SUPPORTED version of the driver.
The LATEST driver is not always the SUPPORTED driver.
They also have this message:
Note: Do not use Nvidia ForceWare driver version 52.16 with After Effects 6.5. This driver set causes severe application stability issues when using OpenGL.

Go to PREFRENCES/PREVIEWS and disable OpenGL.

You can enable and disable rotobezier by right-clicking the mask.
As far as accuracy, you can go full screen and zoom in to what you are working on. Don’t forget that the space-bar (Hand) and Z (zoom) keys can be held down temporarily while you are creating a mask.
