Alert from FCP with QT Movies

I am a total beginner with FCP, have just downloaded the demo. I wanted to start practicing with a few files from a recent vacation taken on an iPhone. Those files have been transferred to my Mac and show up as "Quicktime " files on my external drive. They import into Final Cut OK (though I never found the dialog that is supposed to ask me whether I want to copy or use SOURCE file).....but when I drag one of the movies onto the timeline, I get the attached alert....any advice?

It’s trying to set up a project for you at the correct specs.


For an excellent introduction to FCP start with Steve Martin’s 60 minute intro.

There is also Final Cut Bro getting started

For a more in depth introduction use the Izzy video tutorials. The version is a bit dated but the principles are the same.
