There are still plenty of us still using FCP6-7 so many thanks for the link Andy. :o)

There was a plug in which did exactly that. Andy’s elastic aspect, but after a quick look around I can find it for FCPX but not FCP7. Maybe an in depth search might show it somewhere, failing try contacting Andy Mees directly.
Edit: Now that I think about it, the iPhone shoots 16×9 anyway?

As the video has been compressed to mpeg2 I would think that upping it to a higher codec than I was originally would not show any improvement so I would stick with DV or DVCPro, both of which have lower/even field dominance. I would edit it in its original format and then if you have access to some good upscaling software do that afterwards. QuickTime doesn’t handle anamorphic properly but you might find that it displays fine in FCP. However, if the distortion has been burned in and still looks squished you can do a horizontal distort of 33% in the edit to make it display correctly.

If you download “Mediainfo”, very useful little app. Install and run it, then navigate to your DVD and highlight one of the VOB files. It will tell you everything about the file, frame rate, size, etc, etc. It’s on the App store for a small price but if you look around you can find a free download. Works with all kinds of media.

Good response Mark. The younger readers here won’t have a clue what you are going on about. :o)

You might find some useful information in the video tutorial posted by Shane Ross. You can find it here:

You’re welcome. Glad you got it figured out. :o)

No, I do it all the time. I suggest you get a card reader and try it yourself. If you are using SDXC cards then you need a compatible reader, otherwise for SDHC any good quality reader will do.

All you need for your Mac is a $5 USB card reader. Insert your SD card then plug the USB adapter into the Mac. I’ve not worked with Canon files but it’s usually best practice to copy the whole card file structure to your media drive, not just the clips. Afterwards the clips will need to be converted to ProRes in order for FCP to be able to work with them. You’ll need to do your own research into which third party conversion tool you need for that particular camera file format.

Catherine, I’m a bit confused with your post. “I am currently trying to determine what HDMI card would be best to swap with my current NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card”
The Intensity Pro is not a graphics card, it’s a video monitoring card and can not be considered as a substitute for your Nvidia card, you would need both.As to transferring the footage from your camera to your computer, what is wrong with plugging the camera’s SD card into the computer?
