Advice Needed: Combining HVX200, Canon XL H1, and Canon 7D footage
Hello all,
Due to strict budgetary constraints, and the clients desire to have multi-camera coverage of their event, I am filming a club concert using three different cameras: HVX200, Canon XL H1, and the Canon 7D. How can I combine each of three different types of video into one FCP 6 project without an overabundance of stress? Any thoughts on the matter would be most deeply appreciated. If I could have a matching camera set-up I certainly would, but logistical and monetary issues have made that arrangement prohibitive, and I must gather camera loan favors from colleagues, hence the mix and match. Thank you in advance for any consideration that forum members can give to this matter.
Regards,
Chris -

Transcode your footage to 1 common codec. You can use Apple ProRes or DVCPRO HD within FCP6 without any problems.
You can use FCP, Compressor, or MPEG Streamclip to accomplish the transcode.
