Canon Rebel T2i Sequence Settings
Hey everyone,
I wanted to know what the optimal sequence / capture settings are for Canon Rebel T2i footage. I only shoot / import footage that records at 1080p, 24fps. What are the optimal capture / sequence / exporting settings? I’ve also been running into problems where, between each cut in footage, the previous clip will freeze for a few milliseconds before carrying on to the next clip. Also, only the A1 and A2 audio tracks will play audio, if I place anything in any of the audio tracks below, I still only hear the audio from A1 and A2 when I play through the video. Whaddup with these problems?! Any advice is very much appreciated.

Same for the 5D and 7D. Do a search. This is asked every day.

Cannon offers a “log and transfer” plug-in to make this easy for the 5D and 7D. Unfortunately it does not work for the T2i. You will have to transcode all of the files to ProRes or some other codec in Compressor then edit those files. Hope this helps and best of luck.

There is a way to do an easy hack to make the plugin work with the T2i/550D:

YES Joel…I was about to post this. Well, I am posting this…

I have the T2i also, and using the Log and Transfer is slick. Since I’m going to web, and this is family movie stuff, I am using ProRes LT. For broadcast or short film stuff, I might go regular prores.
I LOVE that hack…

What I’m curious about is the difference, if any, between importing the MOV files form the SDHC card into FCP, and using the appended EOS plug-in for transcoding to ProRes. I’ve tried both and both work. The MOV files are H.264 and ingested files are ProRes. Am I missing something, since they both work/edit without rendering in the sequence?
It seems faster to work straight from the MOV files from the card.
