Epic I for Mac
Canon EOS digital SLR's shoot amazing HD video with shallow depth of field and great low light sensitivity. However, one drawback is the H.264 codec these cameras use to record video. Most non-linear editing programs cannot play these files in real time unless you have an extremely fast computer. This is where DVFilm Epic I (Epic One) for Mac comes in.
DVFilm Epic I for Mac is a real time workflow tool that allows you to edit DSLR H.264 Quicktime files in real time in Final Cut Pro using FCP's RT Extreme features, but without the tedious transcoding methods of the past that slow down your workflow. Real-Time editing, on practically any computer! The DVFilm Epic method is fully automated and creates real-time files in the background so you don't have to wait.
- Automatically switches between your original full quality or real time.
- No Transcoding losses in your final render.
- Direct Editing, no extra files to manage, no file swapping.
- DVFilm Epic will speed up and simplify your workflow. We have a free demo to try it out yourself, with no watermarks.
- Bug was fixed with long pathnames (>80 chars). The new limit is 256 chars, and the clip scanning program now warns you if your pathnames are over 240 chars.
- An alternative DVFilmEpic.component file is provided. This allows Epic to override the AVCIntra 100Mbs 1080/24p format, instead of ProRes 422. This alternative component works with FCP 7 and 1080-line DSLR formats (at any frame rate). The application help and online help at dvfilm.com/epic/mac/help.htm have more details.
