this may be a very novice question but any help would be appricated.
I have fcp 4.5 and a canon digital still camera that produces video in avi format Mjpeg open dml format 640x480 30fps. i would like to edit this in fcp but am unsure what to set the sequence settings at as it always seems to need to render to play back. does anyone know if i should use mjpeg a or b which field dominance, interlaced or progressive which pixel aspect ratio. i would like the project to stay as mjpeg until i export at the end. but unfortuntely as the sequence settings are different to the raw footage you cannot preview without rendering which slows down the work flow alot.
any help would be great
