I just got a Canon T2i and I’m trying to edit the 1080P files it saves to the card. After trying to edit the h.264 files directly i FCP, and seeing the major frame dropage, I did some research and saw that it is better to convert to Apple Prores422. So I did this and it works great in FCP. However, when zooming in on the footage and comparing it to the original h.264, it look much softer and more compressed looking. I thought prores was supposed to be less compressed. I used Mpeg streamclip to convert the files.
Have you or anyone had this problem?
