I have video footage and stills taken on three iPhones of various ages, a GoPro and my regular Panasonic video camera and Final Cut seems to be happy with all of it.
I don't have a projector to test things on but so far it looks ok when I've run it on our 50" tv.
Don't underestimate how much work goes into constructing this kind of thing. At the moment I'm putting in about a couple hour's work for a minute of footage (and it still looks like amateur night).

Thanks that's most helpful. It's interesting that Final Cut handles all your clips from various devices OK. May I ask though (& this is where I really have no knowledge) when you put your stuff together and make a presentation with mixed stills and video clips what type of file does final cut output?? I'm wondering if there are tripwires I need to be aware of in that final part of the process? When I made some movies on my Lenovo Windows PC with the free software it had on it (MS Movie Maker I think it was called) the final product was output as an MP4 file (just like my helmet cam actually) which seems to upload and work fine on our blog. What does gucci software like Final Cut Pro output?
