Yea, make your explosion as normal then group the pieces you dont want to move under a null object and remove the dynamics from it.

4:3 pal is 768*576 and 16:9 pal 1024*576 (broadcaster should specify what they want.)
Both are 25 fps and should not have fields.

For broadcast I render out tiff (psd layers) 8 bit unless going to heavy compositing. THen I save the tiff sequence as a quicktime animation (full quality) and import that to FCP.

As for playback speed dropped frames don’t matter at all because the frames are still there when you export. However if you need it for some reason there is a botton on the top corner of the timeline that says RT click it and choose the detail level you want…. you can switch back and forth all you want it only effects your viewport not the actual files. Your files will export fine and at 100% resolution.

Your viewport is driven by your graphics card not your ram or processor.

Your losing frames in FCP not cinema. This can be for many many reasons. One that is very common is that your computer cannot handle the file size in real time so it drops frames to make your playback smooth.
I should point out that these dropped frames are not lost…. they just did not play back. So if you are to export this sequence to dvd or mov those frames will be there.
There are options in the top left corner of the time line that lets you define the quality of your playback.

You can find good lists for dropped frames by searching… it can be your format is different than the sequence but then you just need to compare your render settings against the FCP sequence settings.

It does not go over the previous version, it makes a new folder.
CS tools work fine.

Plug Ins do not work. You need to get the R12 of plug ins. C4D cafe has a pretty good list look for it in the menu bar at the top.

is there a keyframe?

This is what morphs are for.
To get a less linear movment rig it with joints.

that window should not actually be on the rendered file just the preview.
If its on the final image too you should look in the Options tab of the Render Settings Menu. You are looking for the render HUD i guess. (hud= heads up display)
