RED footage in Final Cut

Hi there-
New here but this forum has been a huge resource in the past so thank you.

I received some footage to edit that was shot on the RED Epic. Pretty much all shot at 90fps.
1. I exported ProRes 422 1920x1080 clips from Redcine-X to the same size sequence in FCP and
there's a black bar on the top and bottom of the frame, almost like it's actually a little smaller
than 1920x1080. Anyone have any idea why?..
2. If I try to speed up any of the footage in the timeline which is 23.98, it has a fair bit of aliasing or "ghosting".
Not when played back at normal speed. Was the shutter speed not fast enough or is it something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and apologies if these questions are redundant or novice.
 
mcgeedigital. Totally makes sense. Thanks

As for the "ghosting", it was as simple as turning frame blending off. Sometimes it's the most obvious things.
