Yeah, I've made it a habit from the start to burn all my original footage files to DVD. Because I don't use the Canon plug-in, I first copy the card over to my internal hard drive (I've only got one...

I realized I was getting Pro Res HQ out of MPEG Streamclip simply because I had the wrong setting selected in my preset. I agree...can't see any difference between HQ and standard Pro Res. Doesn't...

What are the specs on your Mac? Model, OS version, FCP version, RAM, etc.?

Oh, if you're looking to go super cheap, you can always build your own shoulder rig out of 1/2" PVC pipe. I found some plans online, then made my own version to hold my 7D and one to two other items...

My 7D arrived today, literally minutes ago, and while the battery charges, I just had to tell the people who would most appreciate this moment.

I was told that the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens...
