Damien, re: getting a sequence to match your clip's properties in FCP5 to avoid rendering
It's a secret...! I looked around and dug it up. It was a tip I saw from Christine Steele, who is an FCP genius. You click on the clip you want, CTRL+Click on it to get the contextual menu and select "Make Multiclip Sequence", then hit OK. Then delete the (unwanted) folder that's created in the browser, rename the new sequence and open it. Badabing, you have a sequence that matches your clip, with no rendering. Haven't tried it as have FCP4 not 5. Can only dream. Could make my life a lot easier but can't tell whether it will work with funky stills camera framerates and audio. Her page and instructions are here: http://tinyurl.com/y53yz8 It's a cool feature. But shhh - don't tell anyone. Apple obviously don't want anyone to know. They're weird like that.
