I'm pretty dumb about settings and codecs for Final Cut Pro and I need to cut something for tomorrow that mixes 108024P with 720 slo mo.

What are all the best settings to use for my sequence and renders.

I imported as EXDCAM 1080/24P
But i've read :

"For 90% (WAG) of the work people will do:
Import your footage as XDCAM.
Drop it in a sequence that is Set to ProRes, DNxHD, Cineform or some other high quality codec."

How do I create a sequence that is Pro res and has all the correct settings for the EX footage?

Also if I start cutting in a less than ideal sequence, can I just change the sequences settings, or just copy my edit into a sequence with different settings. I tried that once today and my aspect ratio got completely screwed up.
