Work in a 4:3 timeline. When you drop the 16:9 footage from your Canon into that timeline, it should shrink look like letterbox. If it doesn’t shrink automatically, you may have to change the scale to 75% and/or change the Distortion parameter in the Motion Tab to -33.33 or 33.33 (can’t remember which one off the top of my head).

Enabling your virtual cluster with QMaster. Export a non-self-contained, full-res Quicktime and bring it into Compressor.

The command for viewing your Canvas as full screen is the same for the Viewer, you just have to select the Viewer window instead of the Timeline or Canvas.

ProRes4444?
That codec requires more bandwidth, 330Mbps I believe. What is your media stored on? A firewire hard drive might not cut it, although, I never worked with ProRes4444, so I can’t say for sure.

Oh, woops. It’s been so long since I’ve looked at a Macbook since, well, it’s only a Macbook.
Well, Samantha, looks like editing on a Macbook will be tough after all. You could try editing with a USB drive. It’s not gonna kill ya. When I was still in school, I know some kids would edit DV footage on a USB drive. I know Shane Ross said in a blog (or maybe a podcast) that he was editing DVCPro HD on a USB drive. So I suppose it’s doable, but don’t be surprised if you run into some problems.
If I had to guess, the problem you’ll most likely run into is Dropped Frames, which isn’t damaging to your footage or data. It just means your computer isn’t receiving the data fast enough to be able to play back the video.

Designate your Macbook’s internal hard drive for the OS and Software only. Doing so will ensure your computer runs smoothly.
Lately I’m amazed how many people are under the assumption that simply installing a program is going to dramatically slow down their computer. In my experience, software has never slowed down a computer. Poor media management is the issue.
While a Macbook isn’t the best computer to be editing with, it’s certainly doable if you keep all your media on an external hard drive or RAID. The format of video you are working with is a factor as well. Do you know what format of video you will be working with?

“Rising shutter speed, the RS will be reduced”
That’s not correct. To reduce the effects of the CMOS sensors, you have to increase the frame rate.
Increasing the frame rate forces the CMOS sensor to scan from top to bottom faster, and therefore reduces the jello effect, skew, etc.
So he’s stuck with what his camera can do since, as he already pointed out, it only shoots 30p

I’m not seeing anything other than typical wobbliness expected with CMOS sensors. What should I be looking for?

I’m pretty sure Color exports brand new clips when you render. It doesn’t change your original media. Is that what you’re asking?
Your original clips should still be available in your browser window.
Also, before sending to Color, I duplicate my timeline and prepare it for Color. So somewhere in your workflow, you should have a timeline that stands as it did before you decided to use Color.
