Video editing: Final cut Pro SLOW/distorted preview, WHY?

video editing software canon 5d mark ii image

jammal hin

i just started using the final cut pro for mac and i'm a beginner though i have edited a few videos on other softwares. my problem is; while using the final cut pro, the preview window on the right which allows you view the ongoing project altogether, does not play as required, the preview is slow and distorted. i'm working on .MOV files i made from my canon 5d mark ii. and i'm making a music video project. how may i resolve this?

Answer
check to make sure its not in slo-mo. And if the footage is not rendered its not going to play right. You will notice if its not rendered by the red bar above the editing sections. Unfortunately you have to render any footage you edit to view it, which takes hours, so you may be able to drag through it to kind of see how it plays out in a stuttered way. And make sure you have tons of hard disk space because it saves the whole thing copied many times for the renderings.

Canon T2i/60d or Adobe Master Collection CS5?

Ryan King

I can purchase either a Canon T2i or 60d, or Adobe Master Collection CS5. I am not sure which to go with. I have a camcorder, but I want to make short films with 35mm lenses. I also do graphics design/video editing and special effects. I'm not sure if I should buy the camcorder, or the software. If the camera. Is the Canon 5D mark II worth the extra money for video? Could I make professional looking movies on a T2i or 60D?

Answer
You can certainly make professional videos with the T2i or 60D(my pick) http://amzn.to/eSsTN7 The video quality of the 60D is identical to the 5DM2. Spend your savings on nice lenses like the 50 f/1.4
