Article Summary:

Canon’s EOS E1 video plug-in for Apple’s Final Cut Pro was announced on February 5, and was supposed to be available by end of day last Friday. This new plug-in, when it actually shows up on Apple’s download page, will allow simple and easy transfer of video content from Canon’s EOS DSLR cameras directly into Final Cut Pro.

The EOS E1 video plug-in takes advantage of Final Cut Pro’s powerful Log and Transfer feature, which allows users to select and mark the video directly while it is still on the camera, add custom metadata and ingest the clips in the background so the editing can begin immediately.
