Just learned some new stuff. 🙂
Apparently most consumer cameras shoot in 8-bit colorspace. Prores 422 is 10-bit. Converting into prores won’t give you greater quality but it will give more room to play with when editing.
Here’s some info on bits…

Peter, I got help solving my issue.
Don’t know about Bloom’s settings but try upping your sharpness a tad (sharpness set to 3 made a great difference to me).
Have a look at the Cinema Picture Style.Applying sharpness in camera together with fast shutter speed (=>1/250) and zooming in just a bit while stepping back should do something to your blurness. 🙂

You guys are so right. 🙂 I played around with the sharpness in the picture style and the footage really popped. Hmm, I loaded Cinestyle, dialed picture style to 0,-4,-2,0 and forgot about it not really reflecting over the settings.
I’m just a happy layman but in my opinion film these days are more about colour balancing than softness. Looking at the popular Cinema Picture Style sharpness is set to 3.Anyhow, my problem is solved. Thanks alot gents!

Thanks. You’re right. I’ve got a stills background and finally realized I can’t get that sharpness on my budget. 🙂

I soo hope for usererror too. Keeping an eye on this thread. 🙂

Peter, I experience the same thing as you (started my own thread here). I think the picture in the introduction in this article visualize my problem well.
I’ve tried numerous settings without getting a sharper image (even played around with the bitrate (Magic Lantern) but no luck). The only time I’ve gotten a better image is when I had massive light to play with and zoomed in a bit while stepping back.
Apparently a faster shutterspeed will give a sharper video but not that I noticed.Another reason for the blurry image could be the lens. You have an L lens but looking at the MTF score over at Photozone.de it’s not very impressive.
This guy gets amazing quality. Look at the pores in the guys face at 01:51. Amazing.
Now, he’s using a really good lens and…the GH2.
Check this article that compares quality of the GH2 with a Sony and a Canon.Finally, if you shot alot of stills then do not expect the same quality. 🙂

Hi
Got that exact setup but haven’t done extensive editing in FCPX yet.
However I can tell you that FCPX works nicely with the h.264 files you get from the T3i so no need to convert, just import directly from your Canon to FCPX. Unless you gonna mix formats. Then prores would be best.I love the easyness of importing as I just pop out the mem card from the canon and slide it in to my iMac and import them.
No expert but I’ve exported using the Share menu and both DVD and to Compressor. No real difference that I can tell.
Exporting to a QT movie works too.Good luck.

Do you export to Compressor? It has a setting to add fade in/fade out. Sure this is not it but…!
