Everything in FCP is rendered into ProRes. Any effects or color correction you apply get rendered to ProRes.

Some formats such as those are already in formats that are optimized to work with FCP. Optimization is primarily for the H.264 based formats.

FCP has never supported compressed audio in a video file. Not in any version.

They might have imported into 7 but they should NEVER be used there. Both the video codec and the audio compression should never be used in 7. The media must be converted. It is not supported in any version of Final Cut.

The camera isn’t supported in FCP because it records compressed audio with the video. The material cannot be imported using the camera import function because the format is an unsupported proprietary recording method. You could convert it using MPEG Streamclip.

Really need exact information not generic. What’s the camera? How are you importing exactly? What exactly does the movie inspector in the QT player say the specs of the media are?

Use the Export Media function and set the codec to ProRes 4444.

“Alas, only on film.”
And remarkably methodical they were.
Please don’t mistake brevity for dismissiveness. I’m editing myself.
I understand you appreciate its flexibility, and clearly FCP no longer offers that kind of flexibility. It is a specific tool with a very specific method of use, with some limited adaptability.
I marvel at Jeremy’s ability and perseverance in making it fit as best as he can other work methodologies. What I am finding is that people who are new to editing video adapt to it effortlessly, and appreciate it’s logic and behavior. Those who approach it with a work methodology conceived in other applications have the most difficulty using it because they spend their time trying to adapt it to their way of working.
We work the way we work because of the tools we use. The tool you have been using allowed you to work the way you do, and you are comfortable with it. I appreciate that, if not the way you work. I would not, except in a great hurry, work the way either you or Mr. Lawrence work. My timeline’s rarely, except for a special effect, exceed three tracks. I work between multiple sequences rather than in one. The current version of FCP lends itself to that.
All the best,
Tom

You can also use FCS Remover from Digital Rebellion.
