Well I could make the work around off the swap at the mixer but this can be a problem in the future if this ever gets recaptured (you know like years from now some wants to do a “simple ” re-edit).
making it off line and changing the settings is what I would do but I’m concerned about the multiclip part of it. I have all this stuff cut using multiclips with audio on ch.1 now it will be on ch.2.
Guess I have to try it and see, worst case I go back to cable swaping.

Not sure how the waveform effect works but you could split the masks out to four layers.
Take the layer you have now, add the effect to the L mask, get the settings as you like, rename this layer L, duplicate the layer three times, name the next layer O and change the mask that the waveform effect uses to the O mask, and so on down the line.
If you like you could parent and link the effect controls of the O,V,E layers to the L layer so that you only need to change one layer to control them all.

Looks very nice. The talent doesn’t hurt the look either!
You know you can create a motion project and then bring the project file into AE as a element (layer), no need to render it first (or bring the AE key in Motion render then back to AE and render then add effects in FCP and render). If you want to change the Motion created bkg the changes will then show up in AE.

First, I’m assuming your talking about Motion Graphics and not Visual Effects.
If you set out to make “wow” your doing it for the wrong reason. What I try to do is ask not what do I do to make this “great” piece of Mograph but, ask why do I need to make a piece of Mograph. If you can find what it is that you want to express with the piece then this can help you start to figure out what the piece will be like.
A very simplistic example would be is it about anger? Then make it red.
If you take the time to learn or come up with your own ideas about graphic design you can, at first, lean on them and make appropriate Mograph pieces. After a while you can learn to break the rules or expand them to make “great” Mograph.
Just keep making stuff, watching stuff, learning stuff and soon enough you’ll learn that “great” is in the eye of the beholder.

also if your not scaling the vector files up any great amount don’t use the continuously rasterize setting.

If your saying that, you have been working with this setup for sometime and it worked in the past and your on a mac and you haven’t change your preview settings and you don’t have other comps open and your work area is set to the length you want to preview, then purge all (its a menu choice) and try the ram preview again.

Can you render out a portion the of offending clip while turning Keylight off and see if that makes a difference?

Well, the layers in the PreComp have no camera to Auto-Orientate to because the camera is not in that Comp. Why are you PreComping the layers? Can you render the comp before PreComping and use the rendered file in the next Comp?

Is the camera in the PreComp? Or is it in the Comp the PreComp is in?

Exactly what will work is hard for me to say because I’ve never worked in PAL but, you can make a comp any size, any frame rate you want. If the edit is in 1080 X 1920 @ 25fps then set your comp settings to this.
Maybe instead of really making use of all the extra space in the new (HD) comp you could just extend the bkg elements and leave the SD clips (all the work you’ve done already) in the center of the HD comp. This will keep the SD material from looking like $&@!.
