Post what camera/file format, software and OS you edit with.

So perhaps we could prevent all the new threads that keep coming up and get some sort of master list going here on how you edit "x" files with "y" software, and on what OS

Hopefully this will be beneficial for those that are editing with a borrowed camera , or when struggling with a new camera, software or OS

So I will start with a relatively common setup, and a very common workflow

Camera: 7D .MOV (h.264)
OS: Max OS X
Software: Final Cut Pro.

Convert files via MPEG Stream Clip into ProRes 422 or Apple Intermediate Codec if storage is an issue.

t2i will also work with imovie. i transcode to apple intermediate codec with mpegstreamclip so its not so laggy when editing.
