This is why video editors are in such demand. I know the RED camera demands a very specific "process" to prepare the clips to be edited and then exported. If you know this process, then you'll have editing work for the next 5 years. As others on this thread have expressed, it feels like it should just work. Import, edit, done. But many of us have struggled with various workflows to make it simple. Unfortunately, it takes time. It sounds like you have a good handle on the technology so please research and test. You could very well find a solution that you can share. Maybe Apple will make a camera that records in a format that FCP can edit. Vertical monopolies!
