Yeah, I used to monitor like that, too. It's a great and cheap way to do it for DV. Unfortunately, it only works in DV, and I use HDV much more now. (At least it only works in DV in Avid. I haven't tried that trick in Final Cut).

I lost my office when my son was born, and am working makeshift now. We're supposed to renovate to add one in the not-too-distant future, and I might be able to finally set myself up properly again.

Thanks again for all the help. It didn't take too long to remove all the effects. If you double click the first one, all you have to do to display the effects on subsequent clips is hit the down arrow, so it went quickly. Down arrow-select-delete. Repeat and rinse...

Hey Battle, Duncan,

Encoded and burned the new DVD. Looks great! Thanks again for all your help. Really got me out of a jam.

All the best,
Vito

Thanks to Duncan for knowing about the field reversal function, think he nailed it. I learned something that will come in handy some day, thanks Duncan!/ bvaughan

Glad to be of help. (I'm away from the suite at the mo)

Another thing to watch with fields is when importing frame rendered movies from Motion (perhaps AE too etc) and often from Photoshop...

My system often considers these frame based items to have field motion, and it will assign them with an upper field first order. I'm sure this is to do with the way FCP is setup. If it's set to a DV easy setup it'll all work fine (IIRC), working in uncompressed AJA IO, or HDV it'll often import incorrectly. Photoshops then import as having the HDV compressor, which is of course upper.

Then when you add them into the timeline (I work in DV50 for commercials) it'll add the shift fields filter. Now this is no problem as the photoshop based clips will look OK when played. Problems occur though when you freeze moving graphics on the timeline, because the freezes will not have the shift filter on. So the video clip appears to jump a line (up I think) at the freeze point.

Always one to watch... for me anyway. Probably Gremlins.
