just my 2 cents:

I have been a video professional since 1989, non-linear (AVID then FCP) since 1997.
I’ve worked at post houses, ABC broadcast affiliates, and several corporate and/or satellite networks.

Although I understand the theory of 2 separate FW buses, I have very little trouble with just one.
At work I rock the dual processor tower filled with RAM, however I also have a G5 imac at home that does the same exact thing, just A LOT slower!!!!

I am knocking on wood, since I know it shouldn’t be that way, but it is.

Make sure the “center” of your fonts are on even & whole numbers.

In the viewer window/motion tab, check your “center” settings. If they are not whole and even numbers, make them such and it may fix your problem.
example 11.67 is not a whole & even number, but 12 is.

I have run into the same thing with nested compositions, weird but true!

I thought this would be just an easy oversight.
I figured several people would have replied to tell me how much of a newbie
I must be to ask such a question.
I am far from a newbie (12 yrs edit experience-linear & non)

Has anyone successfully used multiclip with transitions (all i want is a bunch of dissolves)?
Has anyone become as frustrated as I am when the manual’s suggestions don’t work?
Is there anybody out there?

BIAS PEAK express ships with FCP.

Highlight the clips you want to normalize (all in your case), then export it as aiff.
Within Peak express, open the file you created. DSP>normalize. It then gives you an option of percentage
of normalize. I usually use 80 or 90% depending on the footage.

Let me know if this helps you.
It’s saved me a few times.
