Canon Support FCP - Sort of

So Canon has released a plugin to allow importing of files from both the Canon 5D Mark II and the 7D into Final Cut Pro via the Log and Transfer function. Basically the plugin is just a nicer way of batch converting your footage to ProRes 422. Its still not native support, ie your not playing the actual H.264 files in the timeline. But it means one less piece of software you need to get the files in the timeline.

Note, I had a lot of trouble with the file not downloading using Firefox, I ended up using Safari to download the file.
