Canon EOS 5D problem PLEASE HELP
Hello,
I am editing some Canon EOS 5D footage in Final Cut I have converted the footage in M-peg streamclip to prores and am now editing at 29.97 framerate.
The sequence plays perfectly on my time line but when I attempt to export it any clips that I have slowed down are all over the place, with different parts of the original clip playing. I am very new to this, and just want to export exactly what is playing in my canvas.
my deadline is very close so any help would be much apprieciated.Thanks,
Harriet. -

try this: open the clip in cinema tools. press the conform button. select 29.97. restart FCP and see if that fixes your exports

I followed a Phillip bloom tutorial, I am not sure if that was part of it. is there a way I can find out?
Thanks for your help

You seem to know your stuff. I too am having trouble playing the footage from the Canon 5D. I’ve edited tons of stuff on my system including Red footage without issue but I am experiencing stuttered play and dropped frames. It is impossible to edit the piece without seeing the proper flow of the shots. I am running FCP 7 (newest version) On standard leopard. I noticed a couple of things that seem odd to me. The sequence setting chose ODD for the field dominance, isnt this progressive footage? Shouldnt it be none? Also, the frames is 30? Why are you telling people to convert it to 29.97? Any advice would be great.

hiya.
this thread is very useful! however i hav a query..
ive shot 3 video tracks on 5d of a band lip syncing to a music track, i want to edit the footage and then sync it to the music track.. i understand i need to convert the video to use it in final cut, but would you recommend also converting to 29.97 fps now, or should i edit at 30 fps and then convert either before or after ive synced the track? which would be the best method to avoid sync problems?
thanks!
