In the Canvas view, on the pulldown to the far right, enable image + wireframe.

Nice! Thanks for your time Jeremy, I really appreciate it.

That is weird. Sometimes when you zoom in quickly, or change the size of the clips in the timeline it will cause the waveforms to be redrawn. Have you tried closing out of FCP and repairing your disk permissions?
What format are you working with? When you open the clip in the viewer, does it show you the waveform, or is it black?

Unfortunately I don’t know what model of Varicam it is but that sounds like the 24p offset correction they made with the DVX100A from the original DVX100, so that makes sense. Thanks!

Andrew Kramer has a pretty good solution at videocopilot.net also, and it’s totally free.

Not at all. Final Cut is an editing application, After Effects is motion graphics and compositing. You can do basic compositing in Final Cut, but nothing near as advanced as with After Effects, but you can’t really edit in After Effects (you could try but you’d want to kill yourself). You also can’t lay back to tape with After Effects.
If you want to edit, get Final Cut, if you want to composite, get After Effects. With FCS2 you’ll motion, which is close for basic motion graphics, and has great templates and ready to go material, but for really advanced compositing, After Effects is king.

Are you positive your DVD burner doesn’t do dual layers? If you’ve bought your system in the past three years or so, it probably does. The disks are less common since they cost significantly more, but most modern DVD burners have support them for quite a while.

Since Avid is going to want to work with OMF (or MXF in this case since it’s HD) the first thing Avid does is conform the media to format that it can work with most efficiently. It may not necessarily adjust the aspect ratio so the image may be skewed, but that’s how Avid is going to work with it.
Since Final Cut doesn’t do this, and since 1280 x 1020 isn’t a standard HD format that FCP will have an Easy Setup for, it’ll place it in the timeline but will require a render to playback. As far as exporting from AE, I’d recommend if you export a DVCPRO HD file, it needs to be 960×720, or you can export a 1280×720 file in ProRes which would work well too.

DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, or DVCPRO (akin to DV)? If you rendered to DVCPRO HD with a raster of 1280 x 720, you’ll have problems since DVCPRO HD’s native raster is 960 x 720. If it is DVCPRO 720×480 that is strange indeed, being that it plays back correctly in your Avid systems.
