  Canon 7D Edit

  Posted by Bobby Pallotta on May 22, 2011 at 8:37 pm

  Hello everyone
  I am new to this site and I thank all in advance for any help

  My question is,
  I just shot a music video with 7 different angles on my Canon 7D and used Log and Transfer in Final Cut Pro and when I go to do multi-clip it just chokes the computer!!! I have a brand new Mac Book Pro with 16 gig of ram fully loaded and it still chokes even with 2 cameras in multi-clip.

  Any help with this?

  Thanks so much..

  Two things.

  1 make sure you transcode your footage to a proper editing format before you start to edit.
  2 for 7 streams of video you are going to need a FAST taid to handle playing back that many streams of video at once.

  Log and transfer should conform the footage without needing to transcode the clips.

  Not sure what the issue is. You might want to post this on the Final Cut forum.
