That template is standard definition. If you use it in an SD sequence, it should look great. Otherwise if you put it in an HD sequence, you really need to resize it all in Motion. Element by element…

I dont’ think it’s worth the effort… the moment they log in, they could change the easy setup or whatever…
Why would you want to do this? I think that the prefs are so easy to change that it’s a bit of a waste of time.

Trash your preference files found in User/Library/Preferences/FCP User data/
There are three red and white icon’d files there, just trash them.
Then select the “easy setup” for DV NTSC. That’s what you’ve shot right?
This should work… if there’s anything to change it might be the device control setting to be from Apple Firewire, to Firewire Basic.

You need to un “stereo pair” them to create two mono tracks, then pan them both to one side or the other. This should work… Have you tried just that?

You need to compress your project to MPEG-2 for a DVD.

Close, but no cigar. FCP X’s XML everything in a Project. Here’s a copy and paste of the info in the Help menu of X27:
Here’s a list of what happens during translation. Video clips and stills in the Primary Storyline become clips in track V1
Audio clips in the Primary Storyline become clips in tracks A1 etc. Connected clips are added to higher numbered video and audio tracks Split edits (J/L cuts) are preserved Synchronized clips are supported
Auditions are automatically “finalized”
If optimized media (ProRes 422) has been created in Final Cut Pro X, Final Cut Pro 7 will reconnect to that instead the original media
Constant speed changes are preserved The active/inactive state of each clip is maintained
Blue markers become blue markers in Final Cut Pro 7; unfinished to-do markers become red markers; and completed to-do markers become green markersRoles are added to the clip’s Description field and Notes to the Log Note field
Cross Dissolve, Zoom, Flash, Lens Flare, Black Hole, Flip, Page Curl, Ripple, Swing, Cube, Doorway, Squares, Star, Band, Center, Checker, Clock, Gradient, Inset, Letter X and Wipe transitions are substituted with equivalents; other transitions become Cross Dissolve; audio transitions become Cross Fades
Titles become Outline Text titles containing the original text Generators become Slugs named after the
Final Cut Pro X generator The starting timecode is maintained
What doesn’t work?
The translation from Final Cut Pro X project to Final Cut Pro 7 sequence isn’t perfect. Here’s a list of what gets “lost in translation.”
• Compound clips
• Multiple speed changes in a clip and keyframed speed changes
• Effects
• For titles, font, size and color information does not transfer*. Some titles with complex builds may have the text out of order in Final Cut Pro 7.
• Transition settings*
• Color, Transform, Crop and Distort adjustments*
• Audio levels and audio enhancements*
• 4K media files (Final Cut Pro 7 supports formats up to 4000 pixels wide)
* we expect to support these features with a future version of Final Cut Pro XI think the fellas are on their way, but there’s many things that make this workflow definitely an Offline/Online situation.

That that have a whole sales division for business for starters. Ever bought from them? They’ll show up at your door!
The sales of iOS and OS X machines are increasing every quarter at a scary fast rate when the market for PC’s is shrinking a LOT. Industry buys more computers than consumers do. I don’t think this is all from consumer demand. I just don’t see them abandoning a market that has suddenly warmed to Apple. Read their latest financials to see what makes Apple tick.
The business market dwarfs the pro video industry.

I agree it’s subjective. However I do want to see what the picture looks like displayed on the intended delivery medium, just as I want to hear a mix with speakers on the level of the intended medium. How else can you accurately assess and QC the project and know it is as you intended?
