Introducing EOS Movie Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro
THE GATEWAY TO INDIA
~
and so my journey begins….

And what a way to start!! Already knee deep in postproduction from a side project/corporate video here in India! I’ve flown from Delhi to Mumbai to Chennai and back to delhi in 3 days – to get supreme coverage of different offices – but what does that mean? I have a HEAP of footage – and need a snazzy workflow to get through it all! and FAST!
Well, the firmware update is fantastic – no more waiting around converting framerates. BUT we still have the hassle of getting it into ProRes – right?
Let me introduce you to the EOS Movie Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro – a fantastic way to quickly and effectively bring your footage straight from your card into Final Cut using the Log and Tranfer option. <shift apple 8>
Firstly – downlad the update from here; for free!
Once installed – it’s simple to use. Connect your card reader, and open your log and transfer window. Now, in the settings…
Now you will see Final Cut reading your CF card;
WICKED!
Now you have the options to set the in/out points for each clip, rename etc. and get your self organised! The best thing is, the process once you’ve added the selection to queue is SO much faster than compressor!!! I got an entire 16G card done in the same time it took compressor to do a batch of 12!
It’s pretty cool stuff, very exciting for all you 5D converts out there… but also compatible with the 7 and 1D.
