Older macs and Pr are a bad combo. IMO.
You need a fast raid to make Pr happy. Helps.And a really fast screaming computer, especially with card/tapeless media/native files.
Being a Mac guy for decades (outta my cold dead hands)
I’m starting to look at a Win box for editing w/Pr.Chris

Try running a test.
Create a sequence matching one of them. Drop a clip from the other format in there, export a clip, check it out.Chris

What you are doing is not UN-common, we often shoot 1080 and edit in a 720 sequence. This allows room to move, cut in, etc. Works great.
But, you need to shoot progressive in 1080, like 1080/30p or 1080/24p
and then edit in 720/30p or 720/24p.So why not res up the problem shots a couple of pixels and eliminate the issue?

check Pr preference settings in the audio tabs?
Reboot?
Trash prefs?
Repair permissions?Chris

720p is progressive for one thing, how is it that you are working in a Interlaced sequence? Are you combining formats?
Have you viewed your video on a external video monitor? You can’t judge it on a computer screen.

FCP7 is end of life, when you buy a new mac, it will not run on it.
Your future in editing does not lie with FCP7.Doesn’t mean you can’t edit with it for years to come, but there’s a cliff.

Then, you should encode all media top the same specs using your favorite compression software or hardware card upon ingest.
