Canon 5D MK2 how to edit

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Darin,
I’m afraid the editing software is not yet ready for H264.
This will come (no long ago FC was unable to edit MPEG-2).
Here you have some advise on how to work with that codec:

It seems that everybody is buying the Canon. Today three posts asking about the same topic.

I was trying not to buy into the hype about the Canon until I shot a with one. I was hooked. It’s a different type of shooting though. Not like picking up a Z1 or EX3. It’s difficult to run and gun with. But with a little prep work you can get some really amazing footage with it. For me it really breaks down to choice of lenses and the large 35mm sensor.

But, like most things, it’s the flavor of the month. Something new will come out and change the game again…

Indeed. I’m taking bets on when the ‘game changer’ will appear. No doubt the hybridization between HD Vidcams and High MP Still Cams is nigh.
At some point, there will be just one merged path. Makes sense really. Since many shooters use supports, brackets etc to accessorize the core camera+lens. The limitations of a still camera form-factor for video will soon be overcome.
Personally, I groove to the ergonomics of palm-corders, as in my HV20 for both stills and video.

I think that the picture is amazing. Who doesn’t want something like that?
But I think as well that is time to wait.
At the moment shooting H264 complicates the workflow a lot.
