Canon 7D – Final Cut Pro Workflow Introductory Tutorial
Posted on January 5, 2010 in Editing | 10 Comments
This is an introductory tutorial on conforming / transcoding H.264 files from your Canon 7D to work well in a Final Cut Pro timeline. It also helps to get rid of some of the crushed blacks and flatten out your image for color correction quite a bit.

This helps. Good timing too – stumbled across this post just at the right time! I wonder what the conversion time is compared to transcoding in MPG Streamclip.
Yes, is there a difference in speed OR is there a difference in quality of the transcode? I hadn’t seen the use of media manager to do this. Thanks.
I am new to video editing and i am wondering if i have already started putting together my video in the time line is it too late to change the codec without having to redo everything… i am wanting to output this in full 1920×1080p as it will be on a huge screen….can i change the sequence setting and all that without messing up everything i have done? wut are my options or will i need to start over
I just learned about how to do this in Final Cut Pro. After you’ve edited your sequence and want to view a higher resolution, you’ll want to do a couple things:
(1) Select your clips in the Browser that were used for your edit (or all your clips), right click and select “Batch Capture”. You’ll then re-import the clips but choosing a different compression setting– one with higher resolution. (This first step assumes that you have the original raw footage files.)
(2) Ensure that your sequence is now set to the same compression setting as your re-imported clips and you’re done!
Whats your workflow for exporting?
Hi,
Thanks for this tutorial.. I am new to the Canon 7D. When you change them to a Prores do you need to do anything before exporting?
transcoding the video doesn’t magically make pixels appear. What you’re seeing there is a difference in the setup level (Shadows). There’s still data in the darker version… If there was no data in the original version, you wouldn’t see any data in the transcoded version… You can’t create a part of an image that didn’t exist in the first place. Transcoding helps an NLE by doing its best to turn GOP-based video from interframe compression to intraframe compression, allowing the editing system the ability to handle single frames easier.
