What you are seeing is normal! DVCPro HD is 960×720 (anamorphic). FCP scales it to 1280×720. No problems, nothing to worry about.

Hard drives are very inexpensive. Clean installs will yield less problems.

Premiere Pro is an easy transition from FCP.

Purchase 3 more hard drives.

Clone your Snow Leopard Start Up. Startup that drive whenever you need FCP 7. The clone will be your back up.

Personally, I would skip Lion and Mountain Lion and go straight to Mavericks. Do fresh installs on 10.9 including Creative Cloud.

Your graphics card is fine for CC. You will have no problems. Once again, use the third hard drive to clone OS 10.9 and use that as a backup.

Use 2 drive bays for your startup drives 10.6 and 10.9.

The manual should explain how the audio works on your AVCHD cam. Page 46 is where you will find it.

Your smoothcam is automatically adding movement on your clip. You really need to do this outside of FCP. After Effects or Motion may help.

Fixing in post is a bitch!

With a combination of your NLE and AJA Control panel. Choose the correct settings and you’ll be up and running.

95% of the time 720p60. For cinema look, 720_30PN.

To clear things up on slomo, on the HPX, you set the camera to film mode use 24pn or 30pn and adjust your frame rate. Lower the frame rate, the faster the footage. Higher the frame rate, the slower the footage. Your footage will always be over/undercranked. As mentioned above, no audio is recorded. I own both the 170 and 250 in addition that, I also own the 500.

Back to the original question, selecting the remove pulldown should have done the trick. in FCP L&T.
