SDI dubbing is lossy on the 1200, the 1400, and the 1800. You need to use Firewire for lossless cloning.
The 1700 model had an SDTI option which allowed lossless dubbing over BNC cable.

No, you want 16×9 anamorphic, not letterbox.

Import an image sequence. Then change the speed of the clip to fit the time you want.

Personal preference. Try them both and see what you like better. Having it checked may cause problems with interlaced footage. I myself don’t like it and always uncheck it.

Do you have Final Cut Studio 2 installed? That may be required for HDV 24p codecs.

This is really something. Any Quicktime app cannot render RGB at anything other than 8-bit.
Maybe you’ll have to use Windows. Is there a way to re-wrap your Sheer Quicktime files into Sheer AVI files without any re-encoding? I know there used to be tools that could do this for DV codecs.
Take a look at this:
https://www.cineform.com/products/TechNotes/Red-Prospect4K.htmDown the page, it includes a tool to re-wrap MOV to AVI. There’s a strong chance this could work with the Sheer codec as well. Then you could use CS3 on Windows (AE or Premiere), or you could convert it to Cineform and then wrap it back to MOV and get 4:4:4 in Final Cut.

I found this interesting article:
https://www.coremelt.com/support/workflow/codec-and-effects-limitations-for-10-bit-online-workflow-with-final-cut-pro-6.0.2.htmlLooks like you can use the Cineform codec. It disguises RGB into a YUV wrapper just like the AJA codec.

I recently rented David Lynch’s “Eraserhead” on DVD. Upon playing the movie, there was a little calibration lecture. It said “You will see a shadowy image of a man. Turn your contrast to 50% and adjust your brightness until you can just barely see him”. I’m not a colorist, but I thought I’d throw that out there. Maybe a little warning on the DVD to adjust the brightness beforehand.
