    It sounds like you are looking for effects techniques. The book reviewed above by Kevin Monahan is getting a bit long in the tooth, but is still great.

    And this book:

    is excellent as well.

    Render the text.

    FCP is dynamically reducing playback quality while the text in on screen so you can see your work in real time. The visual effect sometime looks like a jump when FCP returns to full quality.

    Start a new project.

    Go to Final Cut Pro > Easy setup…

    Choose an easy set up that matches your source material and capture method.

    Click OK.

    Save the project with a descriptive name.

    Open the capture window.

    Any luck?

    Richie,

    You’ve done most of what I would have done to trouble shoot this. Here are some random thoughts that might trigger something.

    Have you tried adding chapters in iDVD? Have you tried burning on another computer? Have you trashed FCP prefs? Have you repaired permissions on your boot drive? Have you moved the source file to another drive – perhaps the internal drive?

    Although you can use whatever software you like for your business

    Option – T is toggle clip keyframes.

    A toggle reverses itself when repeated.

    So, if I understand your question correctly, just hit Option – T again to reverse it.

    The short answer is no. I’m sorry.

    Even the highest end audio app can’t recover over modulated sound.

    I know the concert is probably a once in a lifetime deal

    I like and use the two plugins mentioned above.

    Another way to achieve this is to place eight or so frames of white over your transition, use composite mode “add” (or whatever) and ramp the opacity of the white so it peaks at the cut.

    Once you build this, just copy and paste the white over your cuts that need a flash.

    Horses for courses.

    Match sequence setting to clip settings.

    Use an easy set up that matches your source footage, and you should be all good.

    Final Cut Pro > Easy Set Up…

    In FCP 6 the default behavior as you make your first edit into the sequence is to ask if you would like to change the sequence settings to match the clip settings. Say yes unless you have a good reason not to.

    If you need to trouble shoot further:

    Select a clip and hit Command – 9

    Make note of the settings.

    Select your sequence and hit Command – 0

    Make these settings match the clip settings.

    The water is a bit deep here

    Jason,

    The answer depends on your budget and needs
