The capture window is a lowres, poorly refreshing representation of the video. Or do you mean the logging window? That’s also a small, lores version, but it shouldn’t look jerky.

The safe action area is kind of fuzzy and varies a good deal. Going to title safe will definitely show the edges of the image. I usually try to doctor the images in Photoshop, paint in, clone, patch, or make up a border that can bleed to the edge of the frame.

If you’re on the marker you can press ` or M to add info to the marker dialog box. You can’t grab or move markers. You can extend markers, move markers later in time, and move the playhead to a marker with the shortcut menu. Marker improvements are often requested. Go to feedback and add your .02 to the list of what you want.

All the best,

Ctrl ‘

This is the wrong shortcut. It’s Control-`, that’s Control and the grave key. The backward accent mark next to the number 1. It’s listed in the Mark menu. Is that what you’re using?

The keyboard language is set in International in the system preferences.

Start by trashing the preferences and see if the application opens after that.

FCP5 does not run on any Intel Mac computer. The Universal Binary version, which should be available this month, should run on it, though system requirements for that version have not been published yet.
