EOS 7D and Final Cut Express

[mcasabar]

Anyone else have the EOS 7D and FCE? If so, what do you recommend for the Easy Setup?

I previously owned a Canon HV20 and had FCE set to "HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60" This would then render 1440x1080i projects. Since the 7D is 1920x1080, I was thinking I should switch to "AVCHD Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60"

Any thoughts? TIA!

You'd probably get more response in the mac thread on this question.

I don't have FCE or a mac, but since HDV is 1440 and a 1.33 pixel aspect ratio, that wouldn't be the right one for the 7D.

Also, since the 7D MOV files are h.264 codec and AVCHD is too, that is very likely to work.

Just download a native clip from the web and drop it on a timeline and see if it works.

Thanks Duke. I will repost on the Mac forum. Merry Christmas!
