Canon t2i footage in FCP
I have a big project that is coming in that was shot on a t21(550d). Audio recorded on a tascam dr-100. I am just wondering what the best workflow out there is for a broadcast quality project.
There is so much information out there, I have spent a good 25 hours this week researching this and I don’t know what’s up of down?
I previously have been transcoding everything to xdcam which saved a lot of hard drive space but now Phillip Bloom says thats a no-no.
Any suggestions would be oh so very helpful! I am edit on an i7 macpro tower with 12 gigs of ram. Firewire 800 drives. Speed and length of transcoding aren’t an issue, but I’d love to save a bit on hard drive space if at all possible. I use plural eyes to sync the audio and it works like a charm!
Thanks,
-Ben

That was one of the worst suggestions ever done.H264 is not supported on FC, however I know people cutting Canon D5 stuff and sending to Color without any problem.
Not all the H264 flavors behave the same. Sure that being Intraframe, makes things easier.

Watch the tapeless tutorial.
Buy a hard drive -they’re SOOOOO cheap now.
Use ProRes.Chris Tompkins
