Can you edit footage from the XA10 in FCP-X without converting it through a Canon plugin?

Yes. It'll come in 10 minute increments, but when you put them all into an editor, they come out normal.

I'm sorry, but I can not answer this question. (I've never tried to do this.)

Yes, I use Final Cut Pro X with this camera and there is no issues at all. Same with imovie.

An FZ can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. Use IA and there is nothing necessary to adjust. Just open the flash when it tells you to. You can adjust the Exposure Value from "0" if you want. Move to the SCN modes as the next easiest step and just select the appropriate setting and press menu/set. These are all explained by pressing "display". The "dial modes" of portrait, action, landscape, etc. are the more advanced modes, where you will choose a version and have access to a specific "quick menu". Most adjustments in the dial modes will have no effect on the IA, except for Exposure Compensation, which "will" transfer. The dial modes are the easiest way to begin to learn the operation of the FZ and photographic principles. The PASM modes are for the "big kids". If you dont understand "exposure" , just stay away until you do. Every menu option must be activated or de-activated at the user's discretion. There is "no" automatic default setting in PASM. What you activate, stays activated. Most changes "lock in" within other modes. If you don't recognize the variation, you'll be lost. The first thing to learn is how to reset the camera. If you think you've "messed up", just open the menu and "reset" the entire camera to the default settings and start over again. The remote control for your TV is more complicated, it just doesn't take pictures.

The XH-A1s uses MiniDV tapes. You will need some if you want to record anything. Also, a firewire connection will be necessary to your computer for editing.

I use the SPP (sigma) software to batch convert files to .tiff, then Lightroom and/or Photoshop to finish. If you're in a hurry to do *anything* quickly with the Sigma DP cameras, you aren't going to be happy. If you don't mind using a tripod and only using in ISO 100-400 conditions, however, be prepared for amazing and beautiful photos."Iridient Developer" is another (the only other, AFAIK) software that'll process the Raw .x3f files from the Merrill sensor.

Yes for fcp7. Would be shocked if fcp10 did not. Runs great on prem pro cs6.While yes for fcp 7, not an ideal editing codec. Suggest transcoding to pro res

I had not tried that feature yet. I usually only leave the camera at its native settings for the highest quality. I usually edit the photos/videos after the raw footage is uploaded to keep the full resolution.

As far as I know, no you cannot. It puts everything into a video opposed to individual images. But the way we found around that is to use video editing software (there is a range of options from free to high quality professional software) and clip out pieces we do not want. Hope that helps!

Yes, of course. However, for flash exposure compensation, bracketing, and manual mode can not be controlled via camera setting. Those need to be done directly on the flash. Please also check the links below. Hope my two pennies would be useful. http://www.canon.com/camera-museum/camera/dslr/data/2010-/2012_eos_kiss_x6i.html?lang=us&categ=crn&page=2010-&p=2 http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/flashes/speedlite_550ex

I'm not sure why people insist on attaching the actual camera to the PC via USB - this is an unnecessary step.. STEP 1 remove SDHC card from camera, put in small reader (like a SanDisk MicroMate), plug reader into USB port of Mac (the card will "mount" as a disc image - hold on before you drag the files off the card) STEP 2 iMovie - start iMovie, it says camera detected and gives you thumbnails for selecting which scenes from the card you wish to import Final Cut Express - fce doesn't automatically detect the "camera" (still just the USB card reader), you click on an option called "Log and Transfer" - importing begins FINAL STEP - once you import the files into the editor of your choice (if you'll be editing), you can then drag the raw .mts files into the folder of your choice for archiving. I suggest obtaining a copy of Roxio Toast 9. the player plays these .mts files well and there is a component of the program that allows you to convert the files to almost anything simply put, getting the footage off of the Canon HF100 could not be easier be warned though, when iMovie transcodes the files to .mov, it expands them to near 10x the original .mts file size, so make sure to only do one project at a time if you're running low on HDD space

Yes, works great with both final cut pro 7, fcpX, and premiere. Check out youtube.com/mgbfilmtv for everything shot with this cam and edited in both final cut pro x and final cut pro 7. Make sure you get a high end SD card. Like the '16 gb extreme pro Sandisk' I love this camera, especially with fcp

The files are mp4 AVC (H.264) so you should be able to edit with almost any software like iMovie or QuickTime directly without converting to an intermediate format. I tested with both and it's just drag and drop.

I wish I could help you there, I don't do much video recording on my camera. I've never tried to use any programs for video. But usually canon has a software that comes with the camera on the disk that allows for video and picture conversions.

I have made recordings with those wonderful Sony DVDirect (various models) of many live performances and duplicated the DVD afterward with duplicator (faster than via computer) for those who are interested. The footage can be captured and edited in the computer by Adobe Primier Element and Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I am not sure the footage can just be copied as a file into computer and expected it is editable.

Yes this is the 7.0.3. I bought it in 2011. If you are just starting though you might want to get Final Cut X. It's a different platform that should help grow with your needs. That said, if you are trying to re-edit footage originally done in 7.0 then you will need this software since X will not accommodate anything from before. I hope this helps.

I can have you use it by having you change the imaging range of the camera to DX format on the occasion of the use with "the FX camera such as Nikon D600".But thank you for your understanding beforehand because I cannot have you use imaging element (FX format) of the camera to the maximum.

My son is using it on the canon xa10. There was an adjustment necessary. So it very well should work with the xa20.

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!
