Canon has announced the development of a plug-in that will allow EOS MOVIE footage shot on EOS DSLRs to be edited more quickly and easily in Apple’s Final Cut Pro editing package.
Canon has revealed that a free Beta release of the plug-in will be available to download for testing and evaluation in March 2010.
What’s known as ‘EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro’ is being developed to provide an even smoother workflow for EOS MOVIE users who edit using the Final Cut Pro software suite. The plug-in will enable the ‘log and transfer’ of video footage from the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D and EOS-1D Mark IV DSLRs – all of which offer full 1080p High Definition video recording.
The plug-in will convert EOS MOVIE footage to Apple’s high quality ProRes 4:2:2 codec at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion. Additionally, users will also be able to add timecode, reel names and metadata to footage quickly and easily – further enhancing the experience of EOS MOVIE users when editing their footage.

There’s a new entry-level dSLR on the block, with Canon recently unveiling the EOS 550D.
While it’s designed with first-time SLR users in mind, the new camera offers some pretty advanced features, some of them nicked from the recent sports model, the 7D.
Featuring an enormous 18 megapixel sensor and ISO sensitivity up to 12,800, the 550D also delivers full 1080p HD movie recording at 30, 25 and 24fps. Additionally, 720p video can be shot at 60 and 50fps. The ability to edit video via ‘Movie Crop’ in camera is a new addition to the 550D, a first in a Canon camera, allowing videographers to crop a scene up to 7x in magnification.
The 63-point iFCL metering system from the 7D has been used in this new model, along with a nine-point AF system. Using the DiG!C 4 image processor at its core, the 550D also manages 3.7fps continuous shooting.
While there’s plenty of high-end functionality, the 550D still caters for the beginner, integrating a range of features found on compact cameras, including face detection, Live View, intuitive metering and image correction tools.
The camera’s layout has also been overhauled, with slight design modifications intended to aid ease of use.
While no local pricing has been announced as yet, the 550D will be made available either as a body only or with a range of lenses from March 2010.

Canon recently put its 50 millionth EF lens, one of the latest EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USMs, into production.
After starting production on its EF lineup in March 1987, Canon surpassed 10 million units in August 1995. In April 2008, the company hit the 40 million milestone, and cracked the 50 million barrier only a year and a half later.
“Worldwide, Canon has seen production and demand for EF lenses grow exponentially in the last five years,” said Darren Ryan, General Manager – Consumer Marketing, Canon Australia. “Indicative of the accelerating popularity of SLR photography, 10 million EF lenses have been produced in the last 20 months alone.”
EF lenses were the first commercially available glass to employ Ultrasonic Motor technology, and also the first to use an aspherical lens element. There’s currently more than 60 EF lenses available, ranging from 14mm to 600mm.
