Is this camera compatible with Final Cut Pro 7? I am looking for something that I can download from camera without dealing with formatting issues.

Yes it is compatible with final cut. The camera records on mini dv tapes and you will hook up via FireWire cable to convert digitally onto computer. For really important high quality work, I suggest using the Sony hd mini dv tapes.

Sure, I connected it to my computer using a firewire cable and captured the footage on final cut. I have final cut pro 7.

We think so but not sure..with final cut pro you can download any file as long as it is the right format. We know it works with Adobe Premier.

Yes it is... But you have to adjust the FireWire setting from regular to HDV FireWire

Well I really don't. This is my second camera that is a PowerShot A560 7.1 MP. I'll explain, first I had a small CD that I could download, then I broke my camera, 2 years later, found out Amazon had new ones bought it much cheaper, but didn't have the CD. I'm sure you know, with plugging a wire from camera to your hard drive, all your pics can be downloaded almost instantly and they turn out great. I'm sorry I can't say about the software, but not sure what you are looking for. I just added downloading pics for your computer. jw

I have a question, I just picked out this camcorder as a Christmas present. My family just purchased it for me. I will be using it for my Senior Project Documentary (Needed to graduate college). I have a new Macbook Pro and will be editing on Final Cut Express 09. Does anyone know how the video quality will be with that? Also, will I have any compatibility issues? Lastly, how is the audio on this? I was going to invest into the external microphone. Has anyone had any issues with audio thus far? Thanks.

OK, folks... here's the thing... all these three cameras (F10, F11, F100) record video directly in MPEG2 format.This means that the footage from all three cameras will be compatible with most (if not any) video application currently on the market. The cameras record .mod files, which are actually .mpg files (you can change the extension manually if you wish) - the video bitrate on the Canon FS1000 goes as high as 9000 kbps, and the sound is 100% Dolby Digital.In other words, you will NOT have any issues with codecs. The only drawbacks are related to editing MPEG2 files, which could be a bit tricky.

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

I use Pinnacle Studio 12 ( acutally it's 12.1 - the Ultimate version ) and it works pretty well with my Quad Core computer and a good video card for editing AVCHD footage from this camera. I'm very pleased.Tony

Quick question for all of you who know a little bit more. This is mostly aimed at the guy who used WMM. " Did you lose any quality converting it? " Obviously we all bought this camera b/c it has decent quality but if you lose it what the point. Thanks for the help, Cheers!

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

This camera uses a new codec- an H.264 version of an HD Data stream called AVCHD. While Macs are good at working with H.264, currently, only Final Cut Pro has codecs for H.264. Its not clear that Final Cut Pro can read this new format (AVCHD) currently, though one can expect that Apple will probably update it to do so soon (Since H.264 codecs come with the application.) iMovie HD, however, does not support H.264 video, so it is not clear whether it will, or when it will, work with the AVCHD format video this camera produces.

The camera records in AVCHD format. I looked, and apparently CS5 is compatible with AVCHD. In that case, yes.

I do not have this camera yet, but I am considering purchasing it this week. I beleive Premier Elements 7.0 can handle the video format and maybe an option for you. I do own the combo pack version of this software for digita photography - Photoshop Elemens 7.0 and the video editing software (Premiere Elements 7.0). Enjoy this camera... hopefully this software helps you out... How are you liking the camera by the way?

Are you saying that it's a problem to import the video files into the Mac? I'm using Leopard and Final Cut Express 4 and want to make sure that the files created by the FS100 can be edited by FCE4.

You can use tons of different apps to record the audio from this mike as a wave file to your smartphone. Then I sync the audio filevto the video track in Final Cut Pro X, replacing the audio track made by my camcorder. Final Cut Pro makes it very easy.

Mike, Originally I was not able to use premiere, but once I installed the MJPEG codec I can edit just like a normal avi. There is a trial codec and one to purchase (pegasus?)

There is a BIG difference between "Final Cut Express" and "Final Cut Pro". Final Cut Express is a discontinued software from Apple and yes, you do need it to run this upgrade. Final Cut Pro would not work with this upgrade, nor would you need it.

7.0 is Exynos.Exynos are very good at decoding, so you don't need to change file in to like .mp4

The video/photo output is very good on Windows 7. About as good as you are going to get without shelling out thousands of dollars....also, I am not sure how good of a photoshop wizard you may be..But I have used photoshop to "auto stitch" multiple images together into a super high resolution image..Works great and looks great...but keep in mind...nothing will ever compare to a eyepiece view...which is completely optical and not affected at all by any digital compressions....
