This could be one of of many problems you will need to provide more information of your render settings from cinema and AF.

it might be a time saver to try and capture with something like imovie and see that it is a FCP setting not a cable, bus, or harddrive …I have a few firewire cables that work great but not everyday…and it just eliminates a lot of could be

Have you tryed deinterlacing. Generally if it only shows on an external moniter and not on the desktop thats the problem. If you have already tried lower dominance.
Upper and Lower dominance is another way of saying NTSC or PAL. Pal being lower.

I used the easy settting provided in the easy set ups….it was the only way I could get it to work everything else I tried responded the same way as yours.
I dont change anything when it comes to editing.

The player is really dependent on what your video card is…if you have a high end capture card like AJA or something you can capture pretty much anything from any high end deck. But since you are using a laptop you are a little limited….I would suggest sticking with firewire.
If your camera has AV input you can just plug ANY vcr into it directly (instead of a tv goto the camera) then go firewire to the computer…you can duplicate this method from most decks including 3/4.
On the otherhand there are VCR, DVD, MiniDV decks that also go via firewire…panasonic makes one I know they are not exactly cheap but nothing is.Avoid AVI if possable. DV is the best option for you you are going to keep the quality of the material and you can get a large amount of material on one tape…dvd can take a lot of material too but it needs to be compressed too much. if you are running external hard drives you might be able to plug them into the system equipped with the deck and avoid tapes and dvds all together.
good luck

There is a Edge Feather option in the Motion tab in the CROP drop menu. (All these are found on the viewer window)

-You will have to move points in the direction you want it to be thicker.
-Or you could copy and paste it move it 1cm and bridge them together.
-You could take a CUBE squishing it down to be the thickness you want then deforming it.-Personally I would use a spline inside a sweep nurb with a square. The square then can be adjusted to the size you want. And then if you need to modify it more you can make it polygon object…

Just about everyone does this differently. After duplicating the clip go into the motion tab and play with the distort to give it the right shape, or you use a move 3d filter to get the perspective…then depending on how much Fall off you are looking for you make a gradiant, then create a mask for it…and there you have it. Matching the color tends be the difficult part of this. If you are not too worried about having a perfect fall off you could always just drop the opacity and skip the gradiant mask…but i dont suggest it.
This is pretty much the same method as creating shadows too…only then you desaturate your text and give it a higher contrast first.
