Nothing so far...You have 1280x720 HD footage shot at 60fps...bring it into FCP and it will recognize the resolution and framerate...I think the frames per second is throwing you off....don't worry about it.

hmmm.

here's my problem.

the footage was all shot in HD ... and the person i obtained the material from mentioned something about having to transcode the footage. ?

basically ... when i look at this footage in the viewer in FCP ... it just looks like it was shot on some crumby handy cam ... like it doesnt have a pro look at all. (even though it was shot with MD5 cameras.)

any ideas? hope that makes sense.
