A more PRACTICAL way? That sounds like a very easy and viable way. That is how I online using an Avid. Duplicate the sequence, remove the audio tracks, decompose (a feature I miss in FCP) and batch digitize. Then add your aduio back to the ONLINE cut when done.
Presto!

Try shifting it up one pixel. Or is it down one pixel? Try both. I recall people saying that made a difference, because of the field dominance settings…

Handles…
Shane’s Stock Answer #1:
You need to make sure that your clips have enough media (called ‘handles’) at the beginning of the incoming clip and at the end of the outgoing clip for the transition. For example, if you have a 1 second (30 frame) dissolve, your in and out point need to be at least 15 frames from the edge of the clip.
What you are running into is that you are marking an out point at the end of a clip then adding a cross dissolve, say 20 frames in duration. Since the dissolve is centered on the cut, it will start 10 frames before the cut, and try to go 10 frames AFTER the cut…which it can’t do.
What you need to do is plan how long your dissolve will be and back-time your cut so that it works.

https://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?50@941.OTrRaOS9SEl.0@.68a3b883a full 1 second crossfade reaches 15 frames into each clip. So, if you want to change a cut to a crossfade, there has to be at least 15 additional frames of each clip.
Say you’re trying to crossfade from one clip into the very first frame of a second clip. FCP cannot ‘create’ 15 more frames of the second clip to do a crossfade. If they’re not there, you’re out of luck.
FCP has to extend the end of your first clip by 1/2 of your transition length, and the beginning of your second clip by 1/2 of your transition length, so those frames need to be in your system. The nature of a crossfade is mixing two clips together.

Sounds like you captured by using CAPTURE NOW and UNCONTROLLED DEVICE. That setting captures without timecode and thus causes each clip to have a TC start of 0;00;00;00.

Do you have the current drivers for the Digital Voodoo card?

It might be good to pose this question on the Digital Zoodoo support site as well.

Adding to this post doesn’t bump it to the top. This forum doesn’t work that way.
Because you already edited this sequence with this footage, you cannot perfrom a reverse telecine and make the cut then work. In fact, as I understand it, if you shot 24PA, the only way you can capture that correctly is to capture with the Remove Advance Pulldown option selected…I believe that the Reverse Telecine option has a different cadence and won’t work with 24PA footage. I could be wrong.
But anyway, the issue is that you cannot reverse the clips with the current timeline and have it work. Here’s what I suggest.
Export an EDL. Convert the EDL from 30fps to 24fps with Cinema Tools. Re-import that EDL into FCP. Recapture the now 24 fps sequence THIS TIME removing the pulldown as you capture.

You need an application to demux the MPEG file. FCP cannot edit MPEG files, so you need to get something like MPEG Streamclip and convert it into the DV format.

Color me corrected.
I guess I was too giddy and got carried away. Of coures RT effects are tied to the processor speed. Always.
It is late…was late…early…whathaveyou.

Drag the footage into a new bin (this is a just in case). Go to the bin containing your sequence, highlight it and select CLIP>RELINK.
Offline Masters to any online items.
UNCHECK “relink only to media from the current project” and “match case when comparing names”Then OK.
What happens?
