It only works with INTEL Machines! Why do they assume nobody has G5 Powermacs? It does not matter how fast it works if you can only use it on a laptop or a machine costing over £2500. Can they bring out a scaled down version?
Eric Michelson April 18, 2010
Does Canon understand that the majority of users don’t have Powermacs! Sure I’d like to have one, but I just dumped this years budget into the Canon system and FCP upgrades for my G5!
Official response from Canon in regards to my inquiry regrading this issue:
“At this moment there is no information available regarding future
plug-ins. We recommend you check our website (www.canoneos.com) from
time to time to learn of new announcements in the U.S. market.”

Still proxyprocedures for both mac and pc though an easier workflow in final cut pro.
Still a long wait until h.264 will edit natively if ever?

No complaints from my side. Just a huge thank you to Canon for this very welcome gift.

Will this be better than just using MPEG Streamclip, or does it basically do the same thing?

I test the plugin “E1″ and INCREDIBLE the files from my camera (Canon 5D MK2) fly in FCP. Now I can edit directly, without losing time coding and space in my harddisk. I TEST 25 FPS AND 30 FPS.
I use Macbook Pro 2.66 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 Gig Ram
BRAVO CANON

for mac it works only with the following (so it is written) :
MacOS 10.6.2 or later;
Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and 7.0.1 or later.
I have none of above.
