There’s a new transcoding tool making the rounds on that newfangled Twitter thingy the kids are using these days, it’s called Rarevision 5DtoRGB. It’s a free app for Mac users that they claim offers a much higher quality conversion from H.264 DSLR raw footage to an editing codec (ProRes is a common choice, in one of several flavors and bitrates).

We certainly have no shortage of ways to convert Canon DSLR H.264 footage into a more editable format for Final Cut Pro.

And that’s not even mentioning Final Cut Pro’s own conversion ability via Media Manager. There’s another option that’s been making the rounds of Twitter this weekend called 5DtoRGB.

My latest interviewee, assistant editor Rachelle Dang, clued me in a program that really helped her career: the A.C.E. internship program in LA for college grads. The editor who mentored her was Lori Jane Coleman. Now Lori has co-authored a book with A.C.E. editor Diana Friedberg, Make the Cut: A Guide to Becoming a Successful Assistant Editor in Film and TV.
