Canon EOS E1 Video Plug-In for Final Cut Pro at DVinfo.net

Chris Hurd · February 5th, 2010, 11:06 AM

Rec'd this morning from Canon USA:

This is a courtesy e-mail to inform you that, Canon's EOS E1 video plug-in for Apple's Final Cut Pro was released today. This new plug-in allows 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.

The EOS E1 video plug-in is a free download soon to be available at Apple - Downloads - Mac OS X - Final Cut Studio. The plug-in is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6 or higher and currently supports Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D and EOS 1D Mark IV cameras.

Not seeing it....

Bill Vincent · February 5th, 2010, 11:56 AM

I can't find this download anywhere on the Apple site. Was it removed? Is it called something else? Anyone else having this problem?

Jon Braeley · February 5th, 2010, 01:26 PM

It's there - down the list. It is called 5DtoFCP_v1.1 - this is the folder name that I downloaded anyway. Now I have to find out where all the files go...

Matt Gottshalk · February 5th, 2010, 01:36 PM

Direct link:

Apple - Downloads - Final Cut Studio - 5DtoFCP

Ryan Postel · February 5th, 2010, 01:48 PM

I'm pretty sure that's not the same plug-in as that one was released a few days ago, is not by Canon, and is mostly for 25p conversion.

I'm pretty sure the Canon one is called "EOS E1" and is not yet on the site as far as I can tell.

Kevin Dooley · February 5th, 2010, 02:10 PM

Looking forward to this - hopefully (at least until the firmware release), it'll transcode to ProRes w/ a 29.97 framerate...

Richard Van Le · February 5th, 2010, 02:39 PM

The 5DtoFCP 1.1 plug-in is NOT the plug-in we're talking about here. That one clearly states its made by Industrial Revolution, not Canon.

I wonder if this is the Glue Tools plug-in that was hyped by Vincent Lafloret earlier last year. I noticed there's no mention of that plug-in on Glue Tool's website anymore.

Lance Watts · February 5th, 2010, 02:44 PM

The EOS-E1 plug-in is not available yet. Canon has only announced it's imminent release.

When it is released, it will be available, here:

Apple - Downloads - Mac OS X - Final Cut Studio

Jon Braeley · February 5th, 2010, 04:25 PM

I can confirm - now I checked the files - the 5DtoFCP that is lisdted on the site is not the log and transfer plug-in by Canon.

Steve Maller · February 5th, 2010, 05:29 PM

Indeed, it's not there yet. Vince Laforet tweeted a little while ago...

I assume that this is indeed the FCP Plugin that Canon bought from Glue Tools that was referenced here on DVInfo over 6 months ago Canon D-SLR Log & Transfer Plugin for Final Cut Pro at DVInfo.net

Canon rep stated at Friday night's FCP Supermeet in SF that it will be posted soon. I wasn't there but saw the webcast. BTW, he also detailed Canon's new MPEG-2 LongGop 4:2:2 codec and showed a camera mock-up under glass.

Jim Newberry · February 7th, 2010, 11:37 PM

I got that email about the E1 plugin. It says that the plugin was "released today" and "The EOS E1 video plug-in is a free download available at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/finalcutstudio/."

Kind of annoying that it's not actually available. Full text from the email:

Dang, that's what I get for posting press releases while I'm distracted (this came in the day of the SuperMeet). My apologies; I'll take responsibility for the initial confusion. I've edited the post to say "soon to be available."

Ha, that's funny, because Vincent got it from DV Info Net! We're the ones who broke that story.
