Here are a couple extra bits of info:
I have footage on both of my edit machines from 5D and 7D shoots.
Final cut sees them and has no trouble importing them with Log and Transfer.
the Canon plug in is visible in L&T prefs pulldown.
Final cut does not see the T2i footage, (though I am able to use compressor on these files externally)
again: that path to the prefs as detailed earlier, does not exist on my machines. is that due to OSX 10.6.6? and doing a search of entire machines does not find canon file names.
Thx,
Brian
