Thanks Noa,

I know it's an older thread but I recently got a Canon C100 MKii and I decided to record on MP4 instead of AVCHD...simpler to use with FCP 7 (I know I'm a relic!). Anyway, my workflow is MP4 then into my mac via iphoto (as I do with my Canon 70D), then convert the files to Apple Pro Res LT via mpeg streamclip and is looks to work ok...or should I be using the Canon import software? does the footage get imported deinterlaced as it should or not? Just want to make sure I do the importing properly.

thanks

I'm now using some software called EditReady prior to import in to any NLE. It can either re-wrap or transcode, but the important thing is that it created uncompressed audio which has the advantage of:

• Premiere Pro doesn't need to conform audio

• FCPX doesn't need to copy the files in to it's library, it can use them from wherever you choose to put them

• You can transcode for FCP7 - and it's faster at doing it that compressor, MPEGStreamclip and all the others I tried.

I was so impressed with it I wrote a quick review here: Review: EditReady - DavidPartington.com

What format are you shooting in and do you still get interlaced artifacting after output? Or are you selecting one of the "deinterlace" options?

Deinterlacing your C100 footage will kill half the resolution.

hi Gary. thanks for the reply!
I read somewhere about some people choosing deinterlacing with the C100 footage and thus losing half the resolution so when open streamclip to transcode the mp4 files ( I have been shooting 1080 60p to have the option to do some slow mo if required but the timelime has been set at 30p for normal playback) I DON'T choose deinterlace when transcoding to apple pro res LT. Is this correct? I don't want to lose the quality!
I love the camera so far! i will keep my 70D as a B camera with this one.
thanks for the help!

Yes, as long as you shoot MP4, then that works. AVCHD uses pulldown for PF30 and PF24 modes.
