Help importing still images correctly

I'm trying to help a friend with his video project. Problem is I've been away from video for a while now, so my knowledge has gotten rusty.

We need to import some still images into FCP5. The settings are:

960x720
16:9
DVCProHD 720p60

How should the images be set up in Photoshop so they will display correctly in FCP?

Thanks
 
1280 x 720 in photoshop is your best bet (Im assuming your images have square pixels)
as long as you aren't planning on zooming in on the images.


mcvideo - he is working in DVCProHD, which has a resolution of 1280x720.
While it may wind up getting downconverted for TV viewing - it makes the most sense to stick with the resolution of your sequence settings in FCP.

Someone did some work on them in Photoshop, so I'm going to guess that they have square pixels. Does the pixel aspect ratio in Photoshop have to be changed also, or can the images just be resized to 1280 x 720?
 
Thanks for the help. I don't work with video anymore (never even touched HD), so I appreciate it.

One more question. Will I be able to drop a 1280 x 720 photo into a 960 x 720 sequence?
