Beginner all over again, Help Please!

Hi Ken and Everyone,
OK. I have FCP 6.0.2 on my Macbook Pro. It's the 2.2 GHz Intel core 2 duo with 2 gig memory. And I am on OSX 10.4.11 and Quicktime 7.3.1.
I have not edited in a few years and last night I had a videographer tape a few hours of testimonials from the students of a workshop I just finished teaching. He shot it on the Sony EX1. Looks and sounds real good. I now need to create a dvd and a web presentation of these testimonials.
Today, I began to put some video into FCP. I am quickly learning how much I need to re-learn.
My main question at this moment. The video looks a little choppy in the canvas and when I add a transition like a cube spin, it also does not play back smoothly.
Is there a preference setting or something else I need to do to get smooth playback of video in the canvas?
Thanks!
Larry Silverberg

Hi Ken,
Hope you are well!
Yes, I did render. What do you mean by Conform?
Thanks.
Larry

Larry,
When you are working in HDV, it is MPEG2 long GOP. When you edit in the FCP timeline, conform will build your GOPs. (group of pictures - 15 frames to a GOP)
