It seems to have worked after switching back to REGEN mode before editing to tape. Although I wish I could just edit to tape with timecode from my sequence without striping the tape first.

Dalen thanks for the reply. Here’s my process. Please confirm if I am doing this correctly:
– set deck timecode and manually stipe tape in PRESET mode and timecode generated internally
– after striping is complete, set deck to REGEN MODE
– perform insert edit from FCP at specified in pointQuestions:
– Does the decklink card pass timecode to the dieck via the RS422 connector?
– Is it possible for me to bypasst prestriping a tape and just record my sequence timecode from FCP to deck and how(considering FCP seems to always want an in point set)?
– Does LTC and VITC timecode have anyything to do with the problems I am having – the DL device control setting for 8 and 10-bit uncompressed defaults to LTC.Thanks for any help. I need to find a small video engineering seminar!

No rendering, just the clip on the timeline.

I did an uninstall of FCP HD. My Tiger installation is a clean install – I archived my previous system folder as not to lose it.
Frankly I don’t use Digital Cinema Display on my desktop that much, only to the Sony WEGA. However I’d like to know that it does work when I want it to.

I’ve already done a full uninstall/reinstall – same results.

Sorry you have to go through all of that – using another program. I have not had this problem dealing with media from a Panasonic SDX-900 nor currently the HD Varicam; using very detailed and h-rez stills in both projects.
If your solution works for you, then stick with it. I will share another technique though.
Sometimes I have found that no one solution works for every image, but I try these to get rid of the shimmer (depending on the media type):
1 – duplicate the track, deinterlace it on a different field than the original, drop the opacity 50% (or %60)
2 – just try a deflickering filter
3 – use Joe’s filters and apply the field blender
I am really curious about the problem you are having because I have never had that problem. Right before responding I laid to tape a 16×9 sequence and a 4×3 version of it using the distortion method I described above with no resulting shimmer. I too was working with 8-bit uncompressed using my Blackmagic card. That codec (since the card is Quicktime based) is pretty much the same as the Apple 8-bit Uncompressed.
Good Luck

You can also try copying your footage from the timeline, pasting it to a 4:3 timeline, and under the motion tab distort the aspect ratio 1 clip to -33.3.
Copy that clip setting and paste it to the others.
i got here by adding a widescreen matte to my clip and adding a (color, like yellow or white) border to it. Then I distorted the vertically stretched image until the top edge met the border line of my widescreen matte. Then I deleted the matte and applied the distortion to the other clips.
It has worked perfectly for me.
As for laying off to beta – get a cheap Blackmagic card. Works great for me.

i actually started with the FCP manual and followed what it explains. However just by turning on the ease in/ease out feature even before adjusting velocity handles, FCP moves my images in an undefined path from it’s own calculations – nothing I told it to do.

No footage is on my system drive. everything sits on a 3.5 TB Apple Xserve RAID. The only applications I run while working with FCP are MAIL and iChat which have never caused problems before.
