Do not capture to the boot drive or the same drive that the application is on.
Check your disk space.
Rewire your Firewire if you are capturing to an external drive.

The footage is 29.97.
Create a 29.97 sequence.
OPen the other sequence
Select all
Copy the sequence
Paste it in to the new 29.97 sequence.Unless there is a filmout there is rarely areason to cut 23.98 as the footage is at 29.97 with the pulldown inserted on the tape.
OPtion two.
Duplicate the sequence
Open it and select all
Apple Key+X and to cut the footage
Apple key Zero to open the timeline settings.
Change the framerate.
Paste back into the same sequence.David

You wil need to purchase a pro version of flipmac. This will be worth every cent as you bridge the gap between the two pieces of software.
Doble check that the http://www.flip4mac.com QT component will play back AVI files but I am quite certain that it will solve your problem for a mere 150 bucks.

Two color spaces.
Two Color correction passes.
This is the reality of it. If you grade for SD then do your color correction in SD. If you Grade for HD then do the CC for HD.
Right off the bat the monitor has to be set up for each individual color space. Also, SD has a setup 7.5 ire which the HD does not.
There are many issues you bring up in your post but the simple fact is that they are different and need to be handled differently and separately.
You can master to a 24P universal master and then have a larger house handle any and all of the conversion you might have to deal with in the future.

Sorry,
Just re-read the post. So to see the slomo you have to place the footage in a @$P sequence.
You should see a little progress bat whent he Frame Rate Converter is engaged. How are you bringing it in?

I am not askin gthis to be rude, but how well do you grasp the concepts of shooting speed. Are you certain that the footage was actually shot at 60Frames per second, as set up in the HVX200 or the Panasonic Varicam.

If the footage was shot at 60fps in camera then you do need to capture the clip regularly and run the clip through FCP’s frame rate converter. To get teh benifits of the 2.5 times slo motion you need to be editin in a 24P timeline. FOr 2 time slomotion then you edit at 30. FPS.
It’s a good idea to capture the 60FPS clips separately and bring in a copy of the capture clips to run through the Frame rate converter.
In doing this the converter will remove the flagged fames to ensure the correct plaback speed.

Sorry to chime in on Bob’s question, but I really think that this is a QuickTIme thing. Just about every QT based NLE package & card combination reports problems similar to this. I used to experience it on the Pipe and Igniter products.
It was a complaint I used to have about QT audio. It did not perform as well as Avid audio while listening at double or triple speed. QT is serving many masters and FCP is only one of them.

Contact me off board and I can let you know how to best manage this.

Shane,
You are not wrong about 24P HDCAM masters. More and more as programs are being created for international distribution the 24P format is a much better universal mastering format as it deals with progressive images and is much easier to go to any worldwide format.
Many producers do not want to go the “extra Step” and load the front end costs, but it does make for easier transition to PAL, SECAM and other NTSC formats and worldwide digital standards.
“Good Eats” might be so US specific that the broadcaster wants 1080i but since tehy shoot Varicam it would make sense to do a 24P universal “distribution” master that would satisfy any format. Walter could answer why or why not that would be a huge burnden in his life.
