I'm a wedding videographer, I just got FCP6 and I have some doubts regarding Sequence Settings to work with HDV, if possible, could someone please help me?

I have a MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 ghz and 2 GB Ram...

I started my FCP6 and selected Easy Setup as HDV-1080i60 FireWire Basic

1-) On Sequence Settings, General Tab, I left it as the easy setup set for me (Compressor HDV 1080i60, quality 100%, field UPPER, etc...).


2-) On Video Processing tab which options should I select?

a) Render in 8 bit YUV or Render all YUV material in High Precision YUV ?

b) Motion Filter Quality as Normal or Best ?

c) In Process Maximum White should I selected White or Super White ?



3-) On Render Control tab:

a) I set codec to Apple ProRes 422.

b) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I set Quality to NORMAL or BEST ?

c) in Master Templates and Motion Projects, should I check the box "Always Use Best Quality When Rendering Movies" ?



thanks ererybody for your attention.

Regards
