Step through frame by frame…how does it look?

Shane,
Thanks for the reply. Looks like I just got nervous. I rebooted everything and let the hard drive
rest for 10 min. and it works OK now.

But it brings up the larger question – is it just plain silly to keep using Final Cut 7 in the HD world?

No. it’s fine to use as long as it’s compatible with the cameras and the workflow and delivery methods that you need to employ. I know many people still using FCP 7. The issue is if you want to use current camera tech, you either need to get a current NLE, or use software workarounds to enable you to use your favorite software.

Well, my workarounds so far include MPEG Streamclip for the DSLR and Clipwrap for the C100 and they seem to be doing the trick. Moving forward, what will I not be able to do – what cameras will I not be able to use?

David,

You didn’t mention in your original post if you were rewrapping or transcoding your footage in ClipWrap. For FCP7 we recommend transcoding to ProRes 422.

Also, if you like ClipWrap, keep an eye out for our upcoming solution for DSLR footage – https://www.divergentmedia.com/editready
