Importing 4k to Final Cut 7

I have video from a RED ONE that was shot in 4.5k. I want to edit it in Final Cut 7. How do I properly convert this footage to edit in FCP 7 so I can revert it back to 4k for coloring in post and not lose resolution in the process.

Thanks
 
I would use Davinci Resolve, myself.. of course I have the full version so it's totally resolution independent. Resolve Lite will let you export up to UHD.

Anyway, you can create lower res proxies with it, do your edit, then import the final cut xml and reconform back to the full res. in resolve afterward for grading and final output.
