Hi Zadi, so I was wondering what kind of a converter you guys use for your canon dslr HD video raw files to be converted into native files for FCP or Premiere pro editing (I use premiere). Can u also recomend some software especially free one. I'm planing to borrow my friends canon 5d mark2 to shot something. — asked by Anonymous

Hey! Thanks for the question.

After importing footage from the 7D, I convert it using MPEG Streamclip, it’s a free video converter for both Mac and PC. It works great and I’ve never had a problem with it.

mpegstreamclip

List —> Batch List (Command B)—> Import your list of videos —>Export to Quicktime —> Click OK —> Select destination folder —> Compression: Apple ProRes 422 (LT) —> Quality 100% —>Uncompressed, Stereo, Sound 48 kHz (I use audio recorded externally, but keep the audio so I can sync it in the timeline) —> Frame size —> 1280x720 (HDTV 720p) —>Frame Rate: 29.97 (make it match the frame rate you recorded in, and make sure your FCP/Premiere Pro timeline settings match as well), Frame Rate: Uncheck “Interlaced Scaling,” Click “Make Movie”

I then import that footage into FCP. If all the settings are correct, they should all import seamlessly and you shouldn’t have any rendering issues.

Absolutely fascinating TED talk!
