Yesterday, I received an e-mail, a friend said "I use a Canon HF M400 camcorder. I'm thinking about purchasing a (still available) copy of Final Cut Studio 3, and am wondering if ingesting the footage directly into FCP7 using ProRes will be a problem. Up until now, I have used FCE4, with its AIC, and haven't had any problems whatsoever.Is this do-able, or will I need to transcode/convert these types of footage prior to logging and transferring into ProRes FCP7?"
