Does this same technique work for the 7D? Is the card reader a necessity or is there a way for the files to be read off the camera? Does this same technique work for the 7D?

I am very new to editing vid especially HD vids. So i tried FCP and tried to edit the footages I have shot from my Canon 5D. My problem is every time I render the clips I added with video transitions, FCP pops up a codec error message. Any help from resolving this is very much appreciated. Thanks! hi!

I work with a 8 months old MacPro 8 cores 2.8ghz with 8gb of ram, 512 mb Geforce video card. (with the latest version of quicktime 7.6.2) The reason i decided to write in your blog is because at first glace, i wanted to purchase your Canon 5D Mark II Workflow. I also tried to use, as you mentioned, strait off the card footage and this technique it's far from being perfect for me. It's stutter and i drop frames. In all fairness, i will disclose that, even if i consider myself as being knowledgeable with Final Cut Pro, i in no means consider myself as a pro. Maybe my set up isn't right or something? I do, in a lot of cases use more than one level of video (superimposed) and transitions. This is probably why i notice it was a lot better and smoother for me to transcode to footage B4 editing. Believe me....i wish it was different. Thank you again for your answer. Yvon Hello Frank and thank you answering my post.

FCP 6.0 or newer with the latest QuickTime version installed and the latest OS installed running on an Intel core Duo computer allows direct editing with no Transcoding. My personal workflow for the Canon 5DMark II is to edit the footage in it's native H.264 CODEC. I do this to maximize the final quality. Remember... Realtime playback is based on the strength of your Apple computer and speed of your seperate, editing drive. One last thing. Most film makers use straight cut edits only however each project for each editor is different. If your workflow requires multiple layers most of the time then you would need to consider Transcoding prior to editing. I cover both workflows in my training series. I hope that helps.

Contrary to what your showing in your first training, Final Cut pro isn't built to work with footage directly transfered from the Mark II. You have to convert them into ProRes or another editable format before exporting it to Final Cut pro. This way, your able to get some real time edit without drop frames.

I have been looking into doing more video with the 5D Mark II. I use Final Cut Pro a lot and love it. I recommend it over any other editor. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

It is designed to help people learn Final Cut Pro and to improve their workflow for the 5D2. If you already are very familiar with FCP, then maybe you are correct and you don't need this. But there are many people moving into video that don't know how FCP works. Karl, there is a lot to this training that isn’t shown in the sample.
