So it's my first time working on a full project (I shot a music vid for a friend) and I'm wondering if it's okay to just load up the footage from my DSLR and start editing in FCP. I have used FCP before with other small projects that weren't full blown HD stuff but I'm wondering about export settings as well to retain the picture quality. I won't be using any speed effects, just cutting together a bunch of clips to sync. Pretty basic stuff but any tips are appreciated. I'll probably upload it later for critique.

Gotcha thanks. Is there any benefit to transcoding it beforehand or even at all? It has to be rendered either way but I was wondering what the trade-offs are? I read that it helps a bit with major effects and things like that which I won't be using.
