Another way to set up a new edit sequence, especially if all your source clips are the same format, is simply invoke a new sequence and drag one of the clips from a bin to your sequence and drop it in. A message should appear asking if you’d like to change the sequence settings to match that clip– choose to do so. This way there’s less chance of user error in manually selecting the various video and audio parameters.

Try Samy’s on Fairfax.

Hey Tim, it sounds like you’re the kind of person who needs to actually mount the lens on your camera and literally get the feel of it before you decide. I’m like that, so when I go to NYC every few months I do all my “feeling” research at B and H, even if just for educational purposes. They carry all Lumix and other 4/3 choices for my GH bodies. Just don’t go on a Sunday afternoon, the lines will be long.

I tried the Option key but to no avail.
I’m thinking something from Blackmagic would solve my problem?

Thanks, all.
I did try those steps as indicated, and there is no 1080 selection choice for the ASUS on the Display control panel, nor on the ASUS itself, and FCPX simply does not see it. The available scaling resolutions don’t match up with any of the supported FCPX dimensions.
Would a 3rd party box allow me to use this big bright hi-rez ASUS in some way, either via HDMI or the display port?

Mark, I tried MPlayer and the good news is it ran the 1080 mp4 59.94 file without any image irregularities and brightness dips, unlike Quicklime Player. But, although it has a A-B Loop set feature MPlayer did not in fact loop; it closed the file after one play.

I’m in Mavericks using Quicktime Player, which loops seamlessly. Also, my file is 1080 so it’s quite denser than 720. I’ll look into MPlayer but it needs to do the loop thing without a visual break.

OK, great. That’s a relief. Then it’s 59.94– uhm, I mean, 60 all the way!

You’re welcome. But who is @William?

If you can afford it, get a zoom lens with a fixed f-stop at the fast end. This will prevent a noticeable stopping-down of the diaphragm during zoom-ins if you’re shooting in low light with the f-stop wide open. I shoot lots of documentary and I’m still in the old-school ENG habit of wanting a hand-driven zoom in the shot.
Cheaper zooms like the LUMIX G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 have a range of f-stop at the fast end, as opposed to the awesome Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8.
It may seem like a simple thing to always start your shot with the zoom stopped down to the higher bottom value (that way it won’t force a stop-down if you zoom in), but when the action is frenetic and you’re in the thick of a low-light situation, it’s nice to have one less issue to figure.
And, if you shoot handheld a lot– the transition from HVX to GH series is challenging. Because the system is so small, every little nuance of your grip is magnified into the shot. Stabilizer cages and such can help, but even so, try to stick with lenses that have OIS. Some fast wide lenses like the LUMIX G 20mm f/1.7, which gets you amazing low-light ambience, do not have OIS.
