Canon EOS E1 Plugin?
Saw this posted in the news today, but there’s no listing for the E1 software anywhere on the Apple link. Anyone know where to get this? Anyone know how well it may work? Is it the same thing as the 5DtoFCP software, or is this something different “officially” from Canon?
Any info would be appreciated…

News : Canon’s EOS E1 Video Plug-In for Apple’s Final Cut Pro Released TodayLast Updated: February 5, 2010 5:45 pm GMT
(February 5, 2010) Canon’s EOS E1 video plug-in for Apple’s Final Cut Pro was released today. This new plug-in allows simple and easy transfer of video content from Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras directly into Final Cut Pro.
The EOS E1 video plug-in takes advantage of Final Cut Pro’s powerful Log and Transfer feature, which allows users to select and mark the video directly while it is still on the camera, add custom metadata and ingest the clips in the background so the editing can begin immediately.
The EOS E1 video plug-in is a free download available at https://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/. The plug-in is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6 or higher and currently supports Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D and EOS 1D Mark IV cameras.

It’s from guys behind GlueTools It’s a log and transfer plugin. And it seems the PR department and the web staff aren’t in sync with each other.

here’s a new press release I read this AM:
EOS MOVIE plug-in for Final Cut Pro
London, 8th February Month 2010 – Canon today announces the development of a plug-in that will enable quicker and easier editing of EOS MOVIE footage in Final Cut Pro. A free Beta release of the plug-in will be available to download for testing and evaluation in March 2010.
‘EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro’ is being developed to provide an even smoother workflow for EOS MOVIE users who edit using Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite. The plug-in will enable the ‘log and transfer’ of video footage from Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D and EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR cameras – all of which offer full 1080p HD video recording.
The plug-in will convert EOS MOVIE footage to Apple’s high quality ProRes 422 codec at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion. Additionally, users will also be able to add timecode, reel names and metadata to footage quickly and easily – further enhancing the experience of EOS MOVIE users when editing their footage.

Today I don’t see the plug-in at the link listed on the press release.
Can we get the Creative Cow team to take down or correct the false press release from its home page then?
