Guide on converting Canon EOS 550D video to fcp

High-definition video capture has rapidly become a must-have feature in this year's digital SLRs, with advanced amateurs and budget-minded professionals alike excited by the possibility of using the same camera body and lenses for both still and movie shooting. Most digital SLR video modes to date have had limitations in terms of control and output formats that have tempered this excitement somewhat, however.

The Canon Rebel T2i's includes similar video functionality to that of Canon's semi-pro EOS 7D model, with an unusually robust feature set that gives the photographer more control over their movies, as well as the ability to record audio from an external source. Both shutter and aperture are available for manual control, and the T2i also provides multiple frame rate options, including three that match the HD television timing specs. Unlike most digital SLR video modes including the EOS 7D, the Canon T2i caters to advanced amateurs by allowing continuous autofocus during video recording, albeit with AF noise clearly picked up by the T2i's internal microphone. Pros will likely want to control focus manually regardless, but amateurs will need to decide whether the convenience of AF is worth the drawbacks.
