The only way I know how to do this without the aspect ratio issue is to pull a screen capture of just your canvas window….
Turn off “Overlays” – use shift+command+4 and then highlight your canvas window.
should post a snapshot to your desktop

Hey Peter…
you had talked about making available the compressor preset you created for converting the h.264 7D footage into something a little more work-flow friendly. Any idea when you’ll do that? 🙂

I do this all the time. Piece of cake.
As far as workflow goes…don’t change anything with how you’d normally shoot the video. When I do this, I set up my video camera and record with a single mic through a camera so that it is easier to sync the audio in post.
One you have your mix-down from pro tools, just import the audio.
I usually use just the first snare hit or cymbal crash to sync the audio with the video. No clap board is necessary.

I don’t know why you keep getting so bent out of shape about what canon COULD be doing. Guess what? As soon as this technology is available in a comparably priced video camera…fine, I’ll use it. But at this point in time, it isn’t. I’d rather have it available somewhere rather than nowhere.
Rather than being so pissed off that you can shoot high quality video with a digital SLR…I’ll actually go out and shoot it.

Well put John…well put. Some people WILL NOT accept new technologies. For me…the biggest selling point on any product is the END RESULT it produces. PERIOD.

on the 7D…
Full HD Video is captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at 30p (29.97), 24p (23.976) or 25p frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as .MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50p / 60p (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50p / 60p (59.94) fps).

I’m with you 100%. And I understand why some people have a hard time accepting new technology. They have invested tens, sometimes hundred of thousands on gear/technology that has or possibly will become obsolete and replaced by less expensive, more efficient, higher quality gear.
He’s slamming Canon SLR technology and workflow…but guess what??? It is JUST hitting the market. Give it a little bit of time and see what happens. At the end of the day, if I can get a better looking picture out of a 5D than I can with a Panasonic DVCPro HD rig, guess which one I’m going with?

one quick question for you…
Can you give me a quick summary of your workflow? I’m assuming you didn’t do the editing on an H.264 timeline…

Nice work. I am still just blown away at the quality of the image. I really want to get my hands on a RED scarlet (if they ever come out) and see what they can do.
