New Canon DSLR Plugin for Final Cut Pro coming soon

DateSaturday, February 13, 2010 at 6:29PM

 

Canon have recently announced a new FCP plugin for EOS DSLR users.  

This will make it easier to manage the inevitable transcoding process from the native H.264 files created on the Canon 5D MkII & 7D to Apple ProRes.

First reports indicate this will be improved by up to 2 times & allows import into FCP via Log & Transfer.  My main concern is the quality of the trancoding, so we plan to beta test the new plugin in the coming weeks before official release.

This workflow will also be part of our forthcoming Canon DSLR & Final Cut Studio/Adobe CS4 workshop to be hosted by top Auckland photographer Nick Tressider in his studio based in Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand.

Comment below if your working in DSLR workflows & have anything to contribute to the workshop content.
