OK, so this is probably Beta HDCAM or HDCAM SR, eh? On a U-matic deck. OK, so we're getting this sorted out. Very old stuff, eh?
Transcode the Beta capture as ProRes 422, you don't need ProRes HQ, your originals are not that high of a bit rate to justify the extra overhead for HQ. Stick with plain old generic ProRes 422. I doubt that FCP X will recognize that old U-Matic deck, so something like AJA TV (if you're using an AJA card) or something like that would help do the original capture.
Then you'd just Import File in FCP X, telling it to "Optimize" the media. You'll have ProRes 422 files, the best quality that old Beta will give you.
Create a new Project and set "Video Properties" to "Set based on first clip". That will do it.
Turn off background rendering, you probably don't need it.
