Editing in FCS2 from GZ-HD7
 

I'll have to edit some footage from HD7. I am trying to find a straight answer about the workflow in FCS2 (all latest updates) on G5 with Leopard. I have red on apple web page and there are a lot of conflicting posts. Do I use steramclip to re-code it to .mov format? Advise greatly appreciated.

To give you a quick reply... I found this post in this forum. It's for FCP I know, but it may work. Try this until somone else chimes in. I think you can convert to AIC also, but it may take a while. Sorry man. Hope this helps.

JVC GZ-HD7 (FHD 1920x1080i) & FCP6 ? - The Digital Video Information Network



-after doing some testing MPEGstreamclip to HDV 1080i works perfect in FCP.

if you MPEGstreamclip to AIC your videos on your time line will have to be renderd or you will have to deal with crap video lag with real time.

MPEGstreamclip to HDV is damn near perfect on the FCP timeline no need for render or use of the real time engine.

just my 2 cents.

Thanks Chad!

would Toast 9 or 10 convert .TOD to ProRes 422?

Yes it would. That's what I use in my workflow with the hd7.
