C300: how do you transcode XF-AVC to prores?

[tet20]

Hello,

Just started working with the c300 mk2.. now my main client is still editing in final cut 7.. for them i do not shoot 4k.. everything is HD..
so i guess they have to transcode everything to prores?... what kind of program for transcoding would you recommend?

thanx a lot..

As far as I know, there is a free plug-in for Final Cut Pro 7 from Canon. Maybe this helps.

EditReady is a reasonably cheap 3rd party app that transcodes XF-AVC to 422 super, super quick.

Will it also transcode the MJPEG-Files of the 1D C, as the latter stores it in MOV files?

I use a C100 mk II, but I get nice ProRes files off of my Shogun... Really high bit rate, and they edit well. Other Atomos external recorders will also do that. I suggest this rather than just transcoding because of the time and possible degrading of the footage. Just a thought...

If on Windows, Photon will work for both C300 II and 1DC.
