[Mark Suszko] I think the more even debate would have been Final Cut versus the latest version of Adobe Premiere for mac. A much closer horserace, that. But that wasn’t the question-)
If we are going to get side tracked then I might as well throw this in…It’s not the editing program that makes the end product great it is the user. I’ve seen awesome stuff and crap made on all three of those programs.

I’m assuming we are talking about adding these transitions to individual clips with in Motion. Sorry, you are not going to like my answer. If you want to add a fade in or out it is easy to add in motion by using the Fade In/Fade Out Behavior. If your using a transition like the Star Iris your right, there is nothing like that in Motion. What you have to do is bake it. Which means you take your clip and ad the transition. Export it out as a Quicktime Animation Millions Color +. (Don’t render the transition) Re-place the new movie with the old. I hope more of the filters such as the “Chroma Keyer” will be made available in the next version of Motion. Sorry for the bad news and I hope this helps.

I would try the Halftone behavior.

You need to set your sequence to 720×486 CCIR 601 NTSC (40:27) It will not cut off any of the image and 720 x 486 is what you should be set to for broadcast. 720 x 480 is for DVDs. Personally, I would just send the Digibeta Pal to a transfer house and have them transfer the Pal tape to a Digibeta NTSC tape. (or what ever tape format the station will take it in,)

By size do you mean the size of the file (MB) or do you mean the complexity of the vector?

[grinner] I guess there is one good thing about Avid.
Can you elaborate?

I’m not an expert, I just cut my first feature last month. If it was shot on film the director would yell “Print” if he/she wanted to see the daillie. The dailies would include a keycode number. Digital has changed that a bit because you don’t need to transfer the footage. I’m sure you already know that. If you have the time I would make different buttons on the DVD for the different scenes shot that day. I would keep it in the order they where shot, it will make it easier to see how things changed though-out the day if it did. I would always begin a shot at the clapboard. The timecode is usually for the editing department, it doesn’t hurt to include it but that is just more time for you to spend on the daillies. I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing what others have to say. Personally, I would re-ask this question in the “Indie Film & Documentary” forum.

Personally, I feel that Final Cut has a stronger user community that is willing to share it’s knowledge. I just went to the Avid forum and there are about 5 post where as Final Cut Pro has well over 50. A lot more Training Tutorial as well. If you want help then Final Cut would be worth looking into. Also here is an article that is a little dated. https://library.creativecow.net/articles/inhofer_patrick/avid_fcp_update.php
In the end, I say buy them both.
