Red Giant Software introduced the $49 Magic Bullet Grinder, a tool that converts DSLR video to edit-friendly formats for smooth playback and faster rendering. With Magic Bullet Grinder, Final Cut Pro users now have a fast way to get DSLR footage from video-capable Canon DSLR cameras into their timeline for editing, add timecode, and generate proxies, all in a single, time-saving pass. Batch processing and multi-threading mean fast, painless conversion - and editing can start even while shooting on location. 

"Magic Bullet Grinder is one of those products that users like me have been waiting to come on the market. Magic Bullet Grinder eats up your footage and spits it out into a usable Codec so fast that it has changed the way I work. While there are products that do similar things, the speed and simplicity of Magic Bullet Grinder along with the ability to create proxies at the same time is ideal for me as a professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it," said Philip Bloom, Filmmaker. For details and to download a trial version, head over to: http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-grinder/
