Vinnie,
It sounds like the files weren’t correctly captured in iMovie.
Yes, go back to FCP7.
FCP7 is keeping track of the timecode breaks. HDV is rough on timecode breaks and needs 4-6 seconds to get the speed (preroll.)
Open up the prefs in FCP7 and remove Abort capture on dropped frames and see if that helps. Also play with the On Timecode break switch.
Best,

It’s 720×480 video if it’s SD & FireWire (in NTSC) – iMovie might be easier to capture than QuickTime – which really wasn’t really meant as a capture device..
All NTSC SD is 720×480 – when it’s widescreen, it’s merely stretched. If it’s wrong, you can fix it in FCP.

Because XDCAM is very lossy – you wouldn’t really want lossy renders, particularly when it comes to graphics and text. By switching to ProRes you’re giving it a codec optimized for post production – it’s not uncompressed, but it doesn’t have the demands of uncompressed.

Just to add – there’s been no color damage – just QuickTime showing it to your correctly. If you brought it back to FCP or into Compressor – everything would be fine.

Generally, the process of Color Correction is to only do the clips on the timeline – saving you lots of work and make shot to shot correction easier.

No idea – if you’re really in a rush, I’d call Adobe’s support.
In the mean time, I’ve never run on a system with 4 screens; why not dumb it down to 1 to take that out of the issue, particularly that you’re getting a display.dll error?

[Christopher Rios] “source library by dropping it in to the timeline but of course im getting different resolution for those clips in the view screen”
What do you mean by this?

Dagna, Giving you have a different problem than Fredy did, I suggest you start a new thread so we can diagnose your problem.
