The Canon EOS 7D is one of the remarkable digital SDL cameras along with EOS 5D Mark II. The Canon 7D DSLR camera can take 8 frames per second, and also captures Full HD 1080 video at 30p (29.97 fps), 24p (23.976 fps) and 25p. The videos are saved in .mov with H.264 as video codec and Linear PCM as audio codec.

 

After shooting some footage on the 7D, you may want to edit them in Final Cut Pro.

Aunsoft Video Converter for Mac is the first choice for you to make smooth videos for editing in FCP. It makes it easy to convert Canon DSLR 7D footage to ProRes 422 for FCP.
