ps-Apple will support it; Sony, who also makes great video cameras, also supports many flavors of codecs, etc., with Vegas. It just makes sense, financially.

Tony,
I never said that AVCHD wasn't going to be supported, I was answering the question posted. Also, in case you haven't noticed, both minidv and HDV are consumer and professional formats. heath |

Keep one thing in mind, too, everyone--minidv wasn't supported by NLEs in the earliest stages. By the time it was, Final Cut Pro 1.0 supported it. And it took nearly 2 years for Apple to support HDV, along with other NLEs, including AVID, who uses a DI when capturing and editing, like most NLEs recommend.

http://www.dvinfo.net/canonxlh1/articles/article06.php The bottomline is that there is no HDV 24p editing solution currently for FCP. The firestore does not give you 24p footage to edit with. It merely dupilcates the same data that you get on tape and the same data that comes out of the firewire port. Which is a 60i stream. The frames are located within that stream. Exactly how that works is best left to asking the engineers at Canon. My point was that you can edit the footage in 60i using basic HDV codecs included with most NLE's (to my understanding), but you cannot edit in 24p without a few workarounds (mpegstreamclip and what not). |
Actually there is, it's for the Sony XDCAM HD which is 24p and based on HDV, though HDV is tape-only:

I never claimed that AVCHD would never be supported, nor did I say it would only be a consumer format, In fact I think it will go beyond consumer format very quickly. If you look at my previous posts you would see that I said AVCHD support would more than likely be forthcoming from Apple. Quote:

I have re-read through all the posts and I see some things that are potentially flame-incudcing, but I also see where some things have been taken out of context. We're here to learn, not fight. I recommend everyone relax, re-read our policy, and have a fun, educational time.
Thanks, heath |
If you are using FCP it's better at this point to just shoot 60i and use magic bullet or other similar program to get your 24p "look" ...saves you all the codec transforming...

I imagine they will support it...Apple is always pushing Canon cameras on their site...you know the Apple store is going to have these new sexy cameras in their store...it'd be stupid to push something in your store and not support it with software on a flagship product...like selling PC video games or something...they'll get to it...isn't FCP 6 going to be out soon? Wasn't this last update the last before 6 anyways?

This is true. I always see Canon products in Apple stores.
|
The last camera I saw at our Apple store was an FX1, and they're doing a tour with Sony all over the country now.
