  • Final Cut Pro Settings For AVCHD Canon HFS100

    Posted by Karl Wang on February 19, 2010 at 5:28 pm

    Hi friends, first time posting on this forum. I am new to Final cut and digital video. I just purchased a Canon HFS 100 and am shooting in 30p and am going to be editing on FCP 6.0.1. From Easy Setup on FCP I have changed the FORMAT to HD, RATE to 29.97 and USE to DVCPRO HD -1080p30. Will this be the most favorable settings if I want to make high quality HD videos for the web.

    Thanks.

    You must update to 6.0.6 to work with this media.

    All the best,

    Thanks for the response, Tom.

    Could I then leave everything as default on FCP Easy Setup i.e. FORMAT: all formats, RATE: all rates, USE: Custom Setup and have success editing on FCP and exporting HD videos for the web.

    I have a Canon HFS 100 and will be editing on FCP 6.0.1

    Thanks a ton!

    I would also like to know the answer to this question. What are the settings to use with the HF S100? Thanks.

    I think you will need to update to a later version of FCP6 to sue AVCHD material.

    All the best,

    I can’t tell you the correct settings. The correct settings are determined by exactly what you shot on the camera, what format, frame size, frame rate.

    All the best,

    Tom
