Michael,
thanks for the quick response.
Well, I have had issues with batch capturing old projects that had reference clips. And If I run into a bad sector on a hard drive (happen more than once with different drives), and a clip in a middle of a pan is bad and only want that single pan. FCP wants to then capture the whole clip. Even if I do choose not to Add the extra footage around it.
It’s just in my experience to have separate clips in the Captured Media in the Background as well as in the program work much much better for me. Plus, if I have captured footage, I sometimes find the file in Finder and grab the original Movie file for anything I do in After Effects for some clips. As oppose to exporting out of FCP and making a downgrade in quality.

I would have to say that this is an After Effects job. Masking in FCP is quite hard and getting it clean is even harder in FCP.

Have you tried Media Managing your timeline for DV settings?

I know that you can import FCP XML files into Premiere Pro but can you make an XML file to send back to Final Cut Pro?? I bet that would be able to do it if you can.
I have heard though, that if you have any gaps in your footage (black) or any nested sequences that it would import funny (video and audio off) …
just giving a suggestion to help you find the answer.

Really video over the web isn’t good At all … it’s there for a reference but not really to see a large video.
It also depends on the connection speed of your end and of theirs.
I had a client one time ask me to show the video of a video conference … and it was not a good idea. The sound was also off.
And we tried Google, Aim, MSN and iChat. Their connection where they were at was just not up to Par for what video demands.
You are better off … loading your video you want to show them on to an FTP area then progressive stream it to them to view off the web. And then comment on the video via IM.

Have you tried the Flicker Filter in FCP??? and maybe even the Shift Fields effect?? Or a combination of the 2??

I have a suggestion … might be a bit of a work around … but an idea …
Do you have a Capture Card (Matrox, AJA, Blackmagic)?
Could you then playback from the Camera or a playback deck then capture through the Capture card as an Anamorphic SD file?Just a thought to help you with a solution.

Lighting could strobe footage, indoor fluorescent lighting for instance can flicker footage, Slow Shutter Speed … and like Jerry stated the fields can contribute to that as well.
If your settings are all correct and the Field Dominance matches your sequence settings … I would look into FurnaceCore’s Plug-In: DeFlicker Filter. For me it worked great.
Our issue was we shot a project in Australia and the lighting there runs differently than here. So when we came back to the States our editing bay saw the Fluorescent Flicker … FurnaceCore’s flicker filter was the best and easiest way to fix that.
Nothing else worked in the default effects of FCP or AE CS3.

You could also nest the project and then put the effect on the nested sequence.

If quicktime can read the file fine then Final Cut Pro can read the file. When reading codecs final cut is very dependent on Quicktime.
