Try exporting a QuickTime Movie and using Compressor to create your file. You have more control in Compressor.

I use the Marshall V-LCD70XP-3GSDI monitor. It is very sharp, with focus assist and false color and peaking filter.

I’ve used the iKan and Manhattan LCD and the Marshall is the best for the money. Flanders Scientific is my second recommendation.

You have a reference file not the actual self-contained movie file. Unless you have the render file, it will never play.

[Darius Cornean] “I will use apple prores LT and h.264 for codec”

Convert everything to ProRes. No ifs ands or buts.

[Darius Cornean] “Do you think its better to capture on de hard drive inside the PC rather then capturing on the external hard drive?”

NEVER capture to internal drive. No ifs ands or buts.

Press the AWB so that the display is off and press either A or B for WB. You should see the display to the left of the WB selector.

Operation of the ABB/AWB/BAR switch
The ABB button and the AWB button function the same as the switch for the white balance/ black balance of the camera recorder.
The lamp is on when the unit is operated.
If the button is pressed again during operation, the lamp will flash for 5 seconds to indicate an interruption of the operation.
If “PRE” is selected in the PRE/A/B selection of the white balance, it is impossible to change the setting, and the lamp will flash for 5 seconds.
The BAR button switches the camera output to the color bar. The lamp is on when the camera output outputs the color bar.
4) Operation of other switches
For the MATRIX ON button, the DTL OFF button, A.KNEE ON button, HIGH COLOR ON button, and the SHT ON button, the ON and OFF states switch every time the button is pressed. The lamp for the DTL OFF button is on when the button is OFF. The lamps for the other buttons are on when the button is on.

You use Log and Capture from your video camera to capture into FCP. Your avi files from Vegas will not work in FCP. Converting them to Prores won’t be any better than the original tape.

First thing I would do if I were you is do a Google search for P2 or Tapeless workflow for FCP. If you don’t find your answer, report back and I’ll post a link that has step by step instructions.

Hint: click one of the links above to also find your answer.
