Yes, FCP 6 allows you to mix and match formats and even frame rates in one timeline. BUT you are going to have to render anything that doesn’t match your timeline settings.

Look in the EASY SETUP list. Those are the formats supported by FCP. Any other format is not.

Well, when you capture is the best way. You have the Matrox MXO2? Open the System Preferences, then click on the MXO2 in the OTHER section. Then in the AV Input tab…choose your Input Source, then in the Scaling section choose SCALE INPUT FOR CAPTURE…and choose the source format. THen in FCP choose the Easy Setup that matches the format you want to capture and the MXO2 will scale the footage to match. Pretty easy.
