Why is better to convert your DSLR footage into ProRes

Friends,

Why is better to convert your DSLR footage into ProRes for a better Final Cut Pro workflow? Well, I found this tutorial when I was researching about Magic Bullet Grinder, and at minute 4:17 and on, you can see a demonstration of why it is very convenient to convert your native H.264 DSLR (Canon 5D MKii, Canon 7D, etc) footage into ProRes for a considerable better editing experience in Final Cut Pro.

Film Look Reference

Hi guys,

I came across this really cool thread at my favorite forums (DVinfo.net). It is a reference list about how to make your footage look like film. Very cool and very true. Check it out!

'Film' look for your Movie with Magic Bullet Mojo

Friends,

Yes, let me just say I am not associated with this company at all. This is just part of my research and I came across this plug in (for all major editing hosts) called 'Magic Bullet Mojo' that gives your this 'film' look we all are looking for (well, at least most Indie filmmakers like me).

I did not try it, but I will most likely purchase it sometime next year and give it a shot. It is 99 bucks or 29 if you are upgrading from a previous version.

I am impressed by what I saw on these videos:
