importing Images to Final Cut
hey everyone– i am attempting to create a stop motion animation with images i have already captured with my canon digital camera. the camera is your typical consumer digital camera–nothing special. when i import my images into final cut pro they are instantly conformed to the sequence settings and interlaced–which of course looks quite horrible. i’ve tried every setup possible in the audio video settings to create a proper sequence to cater to the images but nothing seems to work properly.
the native resolution of the images are 3072 x 2304. when i create a sequence with this resolution the frame rate is raped. even upon export the file will lag. anyone have any advice?

You need to work at a standard video standard that FCP will like. If I were you and if you have the proper machine for it, I’d work @ 1920×1080 ProResHQ @ 23.976 fps.
What’s your final deliverable?

To what end? What is your objective?
You’re editing 3K images, but obviously you don’t have a raid fastest enough for realtime playback at that resolution — few do. And, I’m pretty sure you don’t have a way of monitoring a 3K video stream either, right?
So, you have to establish a viable end product for yourself and work backwards. Will it be SD or HD? Then pick a codec. Then pick a frame rate. Now create a timeline with those settings and move forward.
