After working on a fairly simple time line-editing a 2:30 video with simple broll..I foolishly wanted to see what the film effect would look like on one of the clips. the video is essentially a talking head video with some broll over top. I put the film effect on the gentleman speaking-I never saw the effect take effect. When I re-opened the project the next morning and tried to render it, the gentleman's track was jumping around and it had the "dust" effect applied. I de-selected the effect, tried to render it again and boom-shaky city! it's weird, it's as if a permanent effect was been placed on my clip. Any thoughts? (robthesun@gmail.com)
not too technical (obviously) what else do you need?
Intel (R) Pentium(R) 4cpu 2.40ghz 512 mb of Ram

man, i still just find final cut pro so much more intuitive and easy to organize! I need to read the damn manual! anyway, apparently you can add an effect to your entire clip in the media pool-yikes! it had become a permanent attitribute of the clip. you have to actually uncheck the effect from the clip in the media pool and not in the timeline where you edit! who knew!
