For all of you Canon Rebel T2i owners (and 5D MK II/7D owners, as well) who happen to be Final Cut Pro users, you know the pain of having to convert video files into something FCP finds more digestible for editing. Before, that would mean using either Compressor, or my preferred program, MPEG Streamclip, to convert those files into Apple ProRes. Depending on how much you filmed that day, this process could take hours, but would make for a much easier workflow in FCP.
Released in mid-March, Canon now offers the EOS Movie Plugin-E1 which allows both the 5D MK II and the 7D to be recognized natively within FCP. With the plugin you can now benefit from:
- Use of the Log & Transfer function
- Time Code being added to each clip
- Automatic transcoding of clips from H.264 to many of Apple’s codecs
But wait! That’s fine and dandy for 5D MK II/7D owners, but what about those with a T2i?! Luckily for us, The Bui Brothers created an awesome video tutorial to see how to make modification to the plugin to get it to work with the T2i. Click here to check it out!
I wish to express thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from this crisis. Right after looking out throughout the world wide web and obtaining thoughts which are not productive, I believed my entire life was done. Existing devoid of the solutions to the issues you have fixed by means of your entire guide is a crucial case, and ones which might have badly affected my career if I had not noticed the website. Your capability and kindness in playing with all the stuff was priceless. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a solution like this. I am able to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the impressive and result oriented help. I won’t think twice to recommend the blog to any individual who should get guidance on this area…. Kristyn @
