This for me has become the best way to convert my Canon DSLR footage into Pro Res. It takes advantage of multi core macs. If you have a quad core then you can convert 4 files at one, 8 core then 8! This definitely speeds up the conversion process if you have more cores.<\/p>\n<p>It also can create proxies with burnt in time code if you want for doing offline editing. This is a big deal for me. On shoots I can convert all footage to Pro Res and do a low res proxy with timecode so I can give to the producer who can then log them without any hassle just using standard quicktime on any mac, even a basic laptop as the timecode is burnt in.<\/p>\n<p>It will also conform your 50p\/60p into 24p during conversion for slow motion. Although 25p is not currently supported I assume they will add it soon&#8230;I also convert most of my stuff to LT so hoping they will add that as well.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt it is the simplest way to convert Canon footage to ProRes and it does not need a directory structure like the E1 plug in. Speed wise it depends on your Mac. Some find it faster than Streamclip others don&#8217;t. I haven&#8217;t done a side by side conversion test yet but i will soon! Be great when they do an update to support LT, HQ and loads of other formats as well as the 25p conform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redgiantsoftware.com\/products\/all\/magic-bullet-grinder\/?utm_source=affiliates&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=bloom&amp;partner=bloom\">It&#8217;s just $49 bucks and you can order it by clicking the image below. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redgiantsoftware.com\/products\/all\/magic-bullet-grinder\/?utm_source=affiliates&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=bloom&amp;partner=bloom\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9488 lazyload\" title=\"Screen shot 2010-06-08 at 23.46.10\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Screen-shot-2010-06-08-at-23.46.10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"605\" height=\"298\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Screen-shot-2010-06-08-at-23.46.10.jpg 605w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/Screen-shot-2010-06-08-at-23.46.10-310x152.png 310w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 605px;
