Re: Fs5 and fcp 7
No it won't edit it natively!
If you also purchase the Sony XDCAM Firmware Pack for the FS5 you MIGHT be able to edit with that - but the FS5 records XAVC-L otherwise. So you are going to have to transcode the footage (I will let someone else suggest good software for this as I never need to transcode anything I edit). I really think you need to look at updating your NLE - if nothing else you'll realise just how much faster you can edit with modern NLEs on a decent Mac for editing. What about trying out the free version of Resolve if money is tight? FCPX is not that expensive either. I think you'll love the FS5. Have fun and hope this helps.

Not just for XAVC campatibility but also for all the other improvements that will allow you to work faster and better. Time is money. Unless you are just a hobbyist there is no reason for a professional to be hainging onto FCP7.
