Elgato Turbo.264 HD Video Encoder

Is it capable of taking files from the Canon Mark 5D II and converting them so you can edit the files in Final Cut?

  • The Canon EOS 5D MkII's video is recorded natively in H.264 at circa 38Mbs, that's a higher bit rate than HDV. Final Cut Pro v7 (part of Final Cut Studio v3) will natively handle the Canon's video with no conversion required.

    The Elgato Turbo is essentially a convertor from a non H.264 format to an H.264 format or from one H.264 format to another H.264 format.

  • There should be no need to convert those files; they are directly usable in Final Cut Pro. (I don't have that camera, but I downloaded a sample file from Canon and it imported and edited fine in FCP for me.)
