[Broggi Khaikin] "1. Convert all footage (Canon 5D and 7D MOV's) using MPEG STREAMCLIP into Apple ProRes 422"
Use the Canon E1 plug-in instead of MPEG Streamclip. This will enable you to use FCP's Log and Transfer. | | | | |

We shot on the Canon 7D & 5D. We transfered the footage to Prores from the original H264 camera files using the Canon log and transfer plugin. It's a short film, about 15 minutes so yea it's definitely under an hour. What's a CBR?

Whats the highest aperture on your lens? But even with that factor, chances are it was just too dark of a location. With the few times I've played around with a 60D I found going past 1600 or so creates too grainy of an image for my tastes. As a GH2 | | | | |
