MPEG streamclip export settings

I realize this is not an MPEG streamclip forum, but there is a FCE question embedded in my post somewhere. I'm converting M2T HDV files in MPEG Streamclip to edit in Final Cut Express. I've used several different export options in MPEG Streamclip, but all of them are requiring rendering in FCE. What is an export format in MPEG Streamclip that I can edit natively in FCE?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Apple Intermediate Codec.

Select File>Export to QuickTime and in the window that opens change the Compression setting to Apple Intermediate Codec from the dropdown menu.

Then click "Make Movie".

What if I want to down-convert it to standard definition, say, NTSC Anamorphic?

Then you export to QuickTime and select 720x480 Anamorphic and the DV NTSC codec.

When I select export to Quicktime there isn't a 720x480 Anamorphic frame size. There's 854x480 in both the 16:9 and unscaled options, and there's a 720x480 DV-NTSC frame size, but there isn't one that says both. Also, the default compression is Apple Motion JPEG A: I don't see a DV-NTSC codec in the drop down menu for compression. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks for enduring!

All DV NTSC is 720x480. Don't use the default compression. Change it to DV NTSC. Click Options in the upper right. Select 16:9.
