Use a native sequence setting that FCP likes. If I were you, I would use a ProRes 720p (1280×720) setting. When you are finished, export a self contained movie and drop that into Compressor and use the preset for iPhone.

Yes it works.
Another very expensive option I have seen is a GoPro connected to a KiPro via HDMI. Send SDI out to the Tricaster from the KiPro.

ShotPut Pro won’t make a disc image but will make an exact duplicate of your SD card.
Here is very good tutorial on tapeless workflow for FCP 7.

FCP isn’t your only choice of NLE’s. You can get AVID Media Composer 6.5 for $995 or Adobe CS6. Adobe’s Creative Cloud is a very low cost solution.

Charge what you feel what your time is worth.
With my experience, I can charge anywhere from $50 to $225 per hour.

Think of your SD cards as your master tapes. If you want to reuse your SD card, you will need to back it up. You can do this by creating a disc image. A program called ShotPut Pro will also copy your cards with verification.
After you are done with your project and delete the media, yes, you can open up Log and Transfer and select batch capture. Log and Transfer will re-trancode your files automatically.

There are a few ways to trim in FCP. The first is the Browser window. In your case, this may be your easiest solution to your problem. Press F in your timeline to load the clip in the Browser and redo your in/out points.
The second is your timeline which you’ve discovered is a little tricky. The 3d is the trim window. To access this, double click between the edit points on your timeline.

Just type in the length you need.
If you create your crawl in Motion, you have more control. There are also other 3rd party plug-ins that are easier than FCP’s. They look much better too.

No need to de-interlace.

You should have no problems.
You should always clone or make a backup prior to upgrading. This will allow you to go back in case you run into problems.
