In case you missed it, Canon has finally released the much-anticipated EOS movie plug in for Final Cut Pro! This plug in simplifies the logging and transfer process for all HDDSLR filmmakers editing in FCP by doing the following:
* Lets you convert your H.264 clips to all manner of Pro Res directly in FCP 7, or to Pro Res422 or Pro Res 422 HQ in FCP 6.0.6 (so no more Compressor or MPEG Streamclip step)
* Creates timecode based on the camera's internal date & time stamp
* Lets you mark in and out points on your H.264 clips before transfer, so you can cut out all the crap before converting (like what you can do in-camera, only this way is much easier)
* Lets you burn a .dmg of your CF card (great for archiving the raw footage files onto a DVD or external hard drive)
Download the free plug in here.

Check out Philip Bloom's blog about it here. He links to a few other useful resources, like how to make it work for Rebel T2i/550D users.
