  Final Cut Express, Rebel t2i

  Posted by Chandler Nick on November 25, 2010 at 6:14 pm

  I am currently producing all my videos using Final Cut Express 4. I am wondering if the full HD 1080p footage coming from my Rebel t2i is supported by FCE 4, and if so what sort of compressor I should be using. Pro Resolution?

  Thanks.

  Can’t help you with FCP, but there were a couple of discussions recently about which intermediate codec to use best with DSLRs.

  Like those:

  I you don’t have FCP you don’t have a way to transcode your clips to ProRes. FCE is so limited with what codecs you cannot use I would never recommend it. You get so much more with FCS.

  I think you have to convert the clips to AIC and work with that. It is not a bad codec just not as good as ProRes.
