Looking for .plist fix for T3i for FCP EOS plugin...

[Chad Soriano]

I just tried to manipulate the .plist with Smultron in FCP for my T3i. Exactly a year ago, I had success changing the .plist file for my T2i. For the T3i, I just took the existing .plist and replaced the "T2i" with "T3i". Sounds simple enough, right?

Well, it did not work. The log and transfer did not recognize the T3i memory card at all. I even did a test with other cameras such as the 1d Mark IV and the T2i .mov files on a memory card and they all worked except the T3i card.

I am currently looking for a solution for this .plist fix. Any ideas would be appreciated...

thanks

I solved my own question. I found the solution for E-1 Movie plugin .plist fix for T3i on Final Cut Pro.

I basically started from scratch.

1. Trash/uninstall the previous E-1 plugin with the .plist. You have to trash the entire plugin and not just the .plist. file. Empty the trash.

2. Restart computer. ( I guess you do not have too, but I did it anyway.)

3. Install a fresh Canon E-1 Movie Plugin version 1.1 from the Canon USA EOS site from any compatible camera (60D, 5DmarkII,7d,1D mIV) in drivers and software section of MacOSX.

4.Download and install "TextWrangler" (it is free)

5. Go the newly installed plist file and open the file with Text Wrangler. (You can google search the path to the plist file)

6. Copy and paste very carefully the lines of code from my modified plist to the existing one. This is a very critical stage of the game, so be careful.



7. Save the changes in Text Wrangler drop menu for the changes to take effect and close the program.

8. Restart the computer.

9. Open FCP and the Log and transfer and test your T3i memory card in an attached card reader.
The T3i video files will be recognized and you can transcode automatically like the rest of the Canon DSLRS.

I tested this on my own FCP 6.0.6 running MacOSx Leopard.

Good Luck
