And make sure you do not have ‘FX bypassed’ selected and split screen view active in your preview window. Having this active will not show up your FX let alone any animations.

SVP should handle this easily – File/Capture video.
Good luck. -
If you have either piece of equipment already (capture card or VCR/DVD recorder combo) I think you would be happy enough using it. If you have both you could try a short clip using both methods and see what you think. I have used the recorder combo and, given the limitations of standard def, was quite happy, after I had edited it a fair bit mind.
And go with the s-video connector; more ‘data’ information. -
Thinking about what you last said, I wonder if the problem lies on your edits on the first computer. Not sure how you are transfering your project across but, is it possible that you are using a previously rendered file with the logo flash already on it? If so, yo will not find it on a second track but will have to go back to the original project to correct it all.
And I guess at the end of the day , since it is only a fram e or so, you should be able to cut the errant frames out without too much hassle. Nice footage otherwise.

Good point though Kelly.

Try experimenting with your masking tool in the Pan/Crop window. That should take you somewhere. Lots of tracks, track motion and masks.

Well, not sure. I am wondering if you are using a nested project .veg file? If you have thoroughly checked your time line and cannot see any other tracks that could be causing this, then I can’t think of any other solution. Are you seeing it on timeline playback? Or only after rendering. If it is on the time line then maybe you can head to where it ‘flickers’ and mute the track. If you only have that one track then obviously you will not see the logo flash. If it still flashes even though the rest of the playback is black then, well, that will be very interesting!!
Lower thirds is just a track overlay that basically just throws, generally some text and a simple logo or graphic, on the lower third of the screen over the main action; think news witness names etc.
-
Daniel, do you recognise the logo at all? Is it something in your files? Something you have used before and you are perhaps re-using the veg file maybe, although now re-edited. It looks either like a lower thirds or track motion is involved although I can’t isolate the frame to see better.
Have you checked ALL of your tracks? (scrolled up and down on your timeline.) I know, a basic question but usually there is a basic answer to these things. -
I will be adding my vote too. This has been an issue for me also in the past and I found myself begrudgingly amending every single keyframe and at the same time thinking that I must have missed something obvious! So, thanks for raising this.

Got it!! OK, the car going backwards – happens all the time in car parks of course so u can probably get away with that but people walking backwards through car parks – probably not so often eh. But you should easily and quickly be able to overcome your two issues with a couple of overlaid tracks and some judicious use of masking/track motion/key framing and parent/child compositing.
Let us know how you go.
