hmm…I could be misunderstanding the whole “convert to prores on import” thing, but I believe you can’t convert XDCam to ProRes because FCP already has native support for XDCam, where as with a codec like AVC-Intra, it doesn’t. So you can convert that to ProRes.
So either capture and convert to ProRes with Compressor, or capture and work in a ProRes timeline

“I know there folks out there that are going to completely disagree with this, but some day they will be the one writing the checks, and then the light bulb will go on.”
Actually, in my opinion, if they disagree they probably won’t get to the point where they’re writing check.
It’s sort of a double edge sword though. On one hand, the others in their 20s make it hard on me because I’m only 23 and will probably be judged by my age. On the other hand, if I do get an interview, I look that much better because I’m not dumb enough to show up late wearing shorts while I refer to the employer as “dude.” LOL, I don’t care how much butt wiping mommy did. Who actually thinks that’s a good idea?

“I was making the point that the technology involved in making a video today is immeasurably easier than it was 20+ years ago.”
ahh, my mistake. You’re right though. Man, I hate working on projects where some kid was hired shoot just because he has an HVX…

“With the ease of entry today, the field has attracted people who don’t have to work that hard to obtain results. They expect to obtain results without much effort.”
Whaaat? No way, man.
Sure, anyone can pick up a pirated version of FCP, but I wouldn’t call that entry. I was awarded Best Portfolio when I graduated (but I didn’t really have much competition), and it was REALLY hard to find a legit job. I must have sent out close to 150 résumés and cover letters and I can probably count the number of times I’ve gotten a response on one hand. I eventually got lucky though…real lucky.

We’re not all lazy and unreliable. And I live just south of DC if you ever want some help 🙂

Scale up one clip. Highlight it in your timeline and copy it (Command + C)
Highlight the rest of the clips in the timeline, Right – Click, Paste Attributes. Choose Basic Motion

Final Cut Express doesn’t support nearly as many codecs as Final Cut Pro. I would get Final Cut Pro now.
I personally wouldn’t blow my money on an Apple monitor either. I’d be sure to have a Kona LHi or Matrox MXO2 so I can monitor my video properly.

The best thing to do would be to recapture as 4:3. Shouldn’t be too bad.
If you toss out the media, it will go offline. Pop your tape into your deck or camera. Launch Log and Capture. Click Batch Capture.
Should go quite smoothly as long as you didn’t break timecode.
