Hey Mahmoud,
I would say your best bet is to bring all you 7D files in and transcode to DNxHD 36 for your offline. It keeps the files small and avid likes it best, speed wise. When you are at picture lock, consolidate your sequence and batch import the original files again. Here it is really up to you on how big you want to go but I, personally, had great results transcoding to DNxHD 175X for 10 bit color correction.Best of luck.Editor / Motion Graphics Artist

Hi,
The scroll bar in my timeline has changed to a series of vertical blue lines/bars. I cant scroll when I move the cursor on the scroll tool in the timeline. It zooms in or out when I scroll. Both zoom in/out and scroll tool function the same way. Any suggestions?Software: Media Composer 4.2

I am a bit confused on this. Will setting the project to 10 bit improve an 8 bit video coming out of the 7D?
