I recently got the Sony HVR-V1U and I recorded the footage on HDV tapes, recorded 1080i. My question is what settings would I need final cut to be under to capture this. I kinda just used the ‘default’ settings earlier on and got something like this Behind the Scenes, b4 we were goin to walk out on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/4370377) . I am not sure but I think I think I should be getting better video quality than that no? You might need more information, so just ask me what you need and ill get it.

Thanks a lot!
