Keep in mind that the frame size for DV and 10 bit UC is different for NTSC. This may cause a field order error in the DV material you paste into a 10 bit UC sequence. I can’t remember if FCP will automatically fix this for you by shifting the DV material by 1 line. Do a test and see (check the motion tab to see if the center changes). If FCP does not automatically fix this you will need to manually shift each DV clip 1 line to avoid image degradation.

You can do this by exporting a reference movie to Compressor (follow directions on Page 195 in Compressor Help).
A much better way would be to purchase the Standards Conversion plugin from Graeme Nattress, which works directly in FCP..it results in a much cleaner and faster conversion.
If you need the highest quality and money is of no object, output your PAL sequence to tape and have a proper hardware standards conversion done on a Snell and Wilcox at your local dub facility

There are a number of codecs that don’t work well within FCP for various reasons (most of the MPEG codecs, the Avid codec, None).
“None” was never intended to be an editing codec. Its purpose is to move media losslessly between different programs and platforms. Its very processor intensive to play this type of file…though Quicktime player can handle it on a robust system, QT Player uses far fewer system resources than FCP, which is doing many other things than just playing back the video.
You did the right thing converting it one of the uncompressed editing codecs.

Do I really need a black burst generator for that deli slicer? I’m trying to save myself a little money.

yes.
good luck.

You are really overthinking this. The GL2 is a DV camera. Use the DV-NTSC Anamorphic Easy Setup.

Thats a bit like asking what kind of car you should buy.
You have not told us anything about what kind of projects you are working on, what kind of equipment you have, what format your footage is and how you are capturing it. Cant really make a recommendation until you do that.
I will tell you that MPEG, H264, and None are not editing codecs and will not yield good performance in FCP.

You should not use the internal drive for your media.
External FW 800 or SATA RAID (using card) will get you RT with uncompressed media. -
In Finder, select the application icon and Get Info (apple-I)
Is there a checkbox to force it to run in Rosetta (not on an Intel Machine, but I have heard some Universal Apps have this)

There are no filters that can do this in any program. Reverb is pretty much impossible to eliminate.
