Am I setting up a project correctly?

Hello all,

I haven't used Final Cut pro for ages, I am in the process of setting up a new project and I just want to make sure I am setting it up properly.

I shot on a Canon 450d 1920 x 1080 h.264 and Gropro 720 x 480 DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode.

Is it best to set up my own sequence preset? I have done this already. I set up a preset for the canon footage, chose the frame size, chose the pixel aspect ratio as HD (1440x1080): For 1080i50 HD video, such as DVCPRO HD and HDV, set the Field Dominance as Upper (Odd), set the Editing Timebase (frame rate) as 24 fps and set the Timecode Rate as Same as Editing Timebase

For the QuickTime Video Settings I selected DVCPRO HD 1080i50 as the compressor and set the percentage to 100%.

For the audio settings I left it at 48 kHz, 16 bit and default.

Are these settings correct?

Maybe I should just select a sequence preset from a list, if so, which one should I choose?

I am hoping to use this video to post up on a website.

Thank you!

For the Canon you should use 1920x1080 in the same framerate you shot your footage.
