So the video stops playing outside of FCPX and inside FCPX?
If there’s no video data in the original video file, don’t think you’ll be able to get it back, as it’s not there.

I was recently shooting with a Phantom HD Gold. We came across a very similar issue. It was a problem with the camera settings and how it was shot, rather than the ingest process. I’m not sure if you’re experiencing the same thing or not, i can’t be sure. Vision Research are extremely helpful and are usually extremely fast to respond via e-mail.

Red Giant TV has some great resources that I think will be able to help you. I haven’t watched this video, but this seems to have what you need: https://www.redgiant.com/videos/redgianttv/item/295/

You will get the black bars because full HD on your 5D is 16:9 aspect Ration, whereas NTSC is 4:3. You could try export to NTSC widescreen. it will effectively be 864×480 (or something similar), but will still be considered NTSC and will author to a DVD fine. You will still get small thin black bars, but it’ll be a lot better. If you MUST fill the frame, you’ll have to crop your image. If you don’t want to manually do this, create a new sequence with NTSC 720×480 and copy and paste your timeline from your original sequence into your new timeline. Now your video will be cropped.

Is that “static fuzzy” not there in FCE when you edit it? Does FCE not have a function to export current settings? In FCP7 you have the choice to do a quicktime conversion or just export with current settings. I find it best to export current settings and then transcode it from that for whatever purpose I need the video for.

Generally prime lenses are sharper than non prime lenses. There is less glass in primes and so less to make the image softer. L glass is sharper than non-L, however, I don’t think it compares to primes.
That being said, canon lenses can sometimes be soft and need to be sent in, so, I would take it back and see if you can try another.

I’m not too familiar with Sony DSLRs. Do you shoot on full manuel or does it set the exposure for you? What kind of aperture are you using when shooting this video? What is your shutter speed?
As for the uploading issue. If when you bring the footage onto your computer it does not look like you want it to look, then it’s not your exporting. Does it not look right in Premiere before export? If not, then don’t worry about your export settings.
I have a canon 60D. When I shoot video in the same locations as I shoot still shots, if I use my settings correctly, the video comes out with the same lighting and image quality. However, I often have to change the settings for video. I usually bump up my ISO and increase my shutter speed.

Lighting, settings, lenses, etc. All of those play a huge factor. The LCD on the camera can be quite misleading as its small and it often adds brightness so that you can see it more clearly. I’m not sure how confident you are as a videographer? But, I’d suggest reading a bit about settings and how to shoot on a DSLR.
The lighting in the second video is very different to the lighting in your video. I mean the natural lighting and the way it was captured.

You can download the AIC codec as well as the ProRes codec online. There are quite a few video tutorials online of how to go about doing that. The best way to get your footage in an edit friendly format is to convert it to AIC (if using an older version of express) or ProRes (if a newer version). This topic has been covered several times on this forum, I know because I joined several weeks ago to find this answer and found it quite quickly by browsing through some of the posts.
