This is what Compressor is for. Creating presets is covered in Compressor’s manual, so I won’t go into it here. Simply export a reference movie & bring it into Compressor, then apply your preset.

The “plus” of YUV is that you’re working with YUV media. There is no “minus”. The “minus” of RGB is that you’re working with YUV media. There is no “plus”.
Having the wrong settings will mean that you will have gamma shifts every time you add a transition or filter.

How many frames is your original timeline? How many frames is your export?
And while we’re at it, what are your timeline settings, where did the media originate, how did you bring it into FCP, what settings did you use for transfer or capture, and what are your export settings?

[Sabbie Shepherd] “Divx Pro”
LOL. There is no “pro” version of Divx. There is no pro equipment that uses Divx. The fact that these codecs continue to hang on despite the lack of support from major manufacturers and media outlets is impressive, but it’s not a reason in and of itself to use it.
[Sabbie Shepherd] “The reason I bought the computer to be able to edit files made with this camera”
Sorry to hear that. You should have done a little homework first. Look here. Scroll down a little & you’ll find all of the supported codecs in the right hand column.
[Sabbie Shepherd] “I have divx avi video files from the camcorder, that are 30fps, 640×384 and divx 6.0 encoded.”
That’s not a standard video size. If you do transcode your video to a more FCP friendly codec, you should consider changing the size of it to a standard size like 720X480 or 720X486.
Good luck!

[Bjoern Adamski] “From now on it does and for the first time FCP is able to read native Avid MXF media.”
If I may paraphrase Gary Cooper, you’d better smiley face when you type that! 😉
That’s a very cool looking product, Bjoern, many thanks!

[David Roth Weiss] “I think that more important is that a really good colorist knows how to create the illusion that the gold plated t**d was never a t**d at all. After all, it’s all an illusion… Right?”
Bingo! We’re in perfect agreement.

[David Roth Weiss] “More importantly, I assure you, in the hands of a truly exceptional colorist, which doesn’t actually require unlimited funding, tu**ds can actually be polished beyond your wildest dreams.”
I might phrase that a bit differently. If you dip a turd in bronze, there’s still a turd inside, but you can polish the exterior. So, you can’t really get under or overexposed DV to look like perfectly exposed 35mm, but in the right hands it can be stylized in a way that makes everyone think that it was deliberately created that way by some mad genius.
Other than that, I agree with David. If you truly had unlimited funds, you’d go to someplace like Technicolor, eFilm or Fotokem. If you had good, but limited funding, you’d still go to a post house with a dedicated colorist working in a dedicated color suite- just like you’d have your mix done by a dedicated mixer in a dedicated room, maybe in the same facility for a package rate. If you had funding, you’d shop around for a deal by someone who can at least handle the multiple formats.
The biggest benefit comes from finding a lab or post house that will have hardware & operators who can convert everything to a single frame rate & size with the best possible quality, and then pass it along to a specialist who can take what you have & find a way to make it look its best.

There really is no way to remove reverberation from audio. At best, you might be able to reduce it very slightly, but with a reduction in your sound quality. The best thing to do is to bring this to an audio professional, a specialist. They probably won’t be able to really improve it very much, either.
