Well, if you use FCP 6, as soon as your drop the footage into the timeline, FCP will ask "Do you want to change the settings to match the footage?" Click OK and BOOM...done. All you need to make sure of is that your sequence settings match the clip settings, and the best way to do that is to choose the EASY SETUP that matches the clip settings.
