The press release says “Support for the EOS Rebel T1i (also known as EOS 500D) will be added at a later date.” I am certain that between then and now the 550D will be supported as well. No biggie.

This is a REAL GIFT from Canon. The company that developed it (Glue Tools) could have easily charged the same amount that they do for their other FCP plug ins (from $400 to $800). But Canon gave it to us for FREE. Thank you very much Canon!

This was really nice action from Canon indeed.
Although it has obvious marketing benefits behind too: their DSLRs are even more suitable for professional video/filmmaking purposes.
Something that until now, no other company has reached at such high level (or even any).
Let’s hope Canon can also give something similar to PC system users. It would certainly increase the possibilities a lot (and then get also more interest from current and potential customers).
If Canon continues improving in all possible ways (via software and firmware) this new “platform” of DSLRs with Full HD capability, there is no doubt the profit will keep going up.
So both Canon and customers will benefit.

I’m getting about .5x on mac pro 8 core 2.26 – this seems slow but maybe not?
Does anybody else have speed tests or have a suggestion to speed it up (also using raid 0)
