HDSLR Workflow for FCP

So recently I’ve been shooting like a bandit with the 7D and while its nice to not have to pull vision of tape at real time, the h.264 compressed files do take a while to process. Not only are they extremely processor intensive, there doesn’t seem to be a one stop solution for HDSLR post workflow.

I use MPEG streamclip for converting h.264 to prores 422, and then pipe the output in to QtChange which allows you to enter specific timecode from your slate. While it is a ‘workable’ solution, it is certainly not elegant.

Enter Gluetools…

Gluetools apparently are soon releasing a plugin for final cut pro that will add ‘log and transfer’ functionality to HDSLR memory cards, but it is so much more than that, allowing you to view/edit metadata (in a canon video file?) use the date/time stamp as start timecode, and heaps more.

Vincent Laforet has the scoop…
