I have 3 cameras that I use to shoot video for my social documentary work in the developing world. My main camera is a Sony EX1, however, since I\u2019m carrying a Canon Mark II 5D I often use it as a second camera in my interviews. Also when I want a short depth of field or to use special lenses I use the 5D. I also carry the small Panasonic TM 700 when I want to be more inconspicuous, like shooting in Tibet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sony EX1<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For those of you who use any of these cameras and want to combine and sync the footage you may find the following useful.<\/p>\n

Each camera produces files in it\u2019s own proprietary format. The problem arises when I try to bring these different formats into Final Cut Pro 7. Sony\u2019s XD Cam; Panasonic\u2019s MTS files; and the 5D format are best converted to ProRes 422 to be edited in FCP. I just spent 3 days online trying to find the easiest way to convert the files to bring into FCP. Finally out of frustration I turned to an editor friend, Ryan Horner. His workflow is to bring everything in via the Log and Transfer window, however, before you do you need to get the proper plugins. You can find the following plugins below:<\/p>\n

For the 5D–Canon EOS movie plugin for Final Cut Pro –
\n1.\u00a0 Go to this site<\/a>
\n2. \u00a0Select your computer OS (Mac) from the drop down menu.
\n3. \u00a0Choose Mac OSX not Mac OSX with a version number on it.
\n4. \u00a0Choose 3rd one down called – \u00a0ce1120x.dmg.zip<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>5D Mark II<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For the Sony EX1–Sony XD Cam plug in for Final Cut pro (Use FireFox instead of Safari)<\/p>\n

1. Download the plugin here<\/a>
\n2. Move the zip file to your desktop.
\n3. Double click it and follow the steps.<\/p>\n

The Panasonic TM 700 doesn\u2019t need a plugin, but does require transcoding software.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Panasonic TM700<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For the best quality I shoot the Panasonic TM 700 at 1080\/ 60p. Unfortunately FCP 7 does not handle 1080\/60p. The AVCHD files must first be converted to Pro Res 422. The best transcoding software I have found for this job is Clip Wrap<\/a>. Once transcoded you can bring in the files through the Log and Transfer window.<\/p>\n

I hope this helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
