Not clear what your question is. Camera footage? It depends on the camera footage. MP3? You can but you shouldn’t. Compressed audio can create problems on output. Generally best to convert to AIFF or WAV at 48K before importing.

All the best,

You have the project set to use the first clip as the guide for the project properties. Make a new project with custom settings that specify the frame size and frame rate you want.

This can only happen if you’re working with compound clip. In recent versions changes to a compound clip with effect other copies of the same compound clip.

If you are copying from a camera archive you always must copy the original media to the event. If you make optimized media you can if you wish trash the original media files. I wouldn’t, so FCP process final output from the originated media not from an intermediate, but you can.

That’s exactly right. FCP sees the camera archive as it was a camera and that the material has to be copied out of it. This is actually a good thing, because you want to keep the camera archive separate so it cannot get accidentally corrupted or deleted.

If you’re using the camera import portion of the unified import window, the option to copy or not copy is always grayed out.

What are the specs of the project? Frame size and aspect ratio? What’s the frame size and aspect ratio of the the gradient?

You could do groups of clips this way but they relink back to the originals. It may be a way to quickly (somewhat more quickly) flip multiple shots and few them the right way up in the multicam clip.

There is no good way to do this until the clips are in the timeline. There you can do them all. It would be good to have Transform and other controls on event clips.

All the best,
