3 A When ingesting clips that were recorded using the following video configurations:
[1] 50Mbps (4:2:2), 1280x720, 30P,
[2] 50Mbps (4:22), 1280x720, 25P or
[3] 50Mbps (4:2;2), 1280x720, 24P,
the clips cannot be used in Final Cut Pro if Native is selected in the “Transcode to” (“Target Format”) column. Select instead one of the ProRes422 options.
B In the Log and Transfer window, relay clips (clips recorded spanning two or more CF cards) are not handled as one clip but are instead treated and ingested as separate, independent clips.
C When ingesting clips with Native selected in the “Transcode to” (“Target Format”) column, a name other than Canon will appear in the Compressor field. However, the clips will be correctly ingested.
