Ethics clip, Sgpro/dvx.

For the reds my preferred work flow (using Sony Vegas) is to cut everything together, then once I am ready to render it out as one file, I will slap a chroma blur filter on the master effects bus and then output to an uncompressed .avi. From there, I will use that file to output everything from DVD to web delivery. It takes up a lot of space, but it is the best way I have found to deal with the problem.

Yup, that's the way to do it to maximize quality. In Final Cut, it's the same idea: do some chroma smoothing (there's various filters you can use), then make sure your timeline is rendering to something other than DV. If you're on FCP6, you can get great quality and not take up too much more space than regular DV if you use ProRes 422. If you're using FCP5 or eariler, Uncompressed or Animation work fine, they just eat up a lot more space.
 
wow.. not bad at all. and such a great result. ive been looking into adapters but was afraid i'd have to buy tons of stuff for it.. seems pretty reasonable though.
