Yes, HDSLR footage into MC using MPEG Streamclip and QtChange. I covered it here:

I posted the steps on the FCP-L in the "Compressor Q" thread, but here they are again. This covers both my FCP and MC workflows (as of now - always subject to change).

1. Batch convert in MPEG Streamclip to either ProRes (or LT) or Avid DNxHD QT.

2. Place in a folder labelled as a CamRoll number. Use QtChange to add TC.
Assign TC by hour digits. QtChange embeds the folder name as a reel number.

3. Use R-name to taste to append file names.

4a. Import folder of ProRes into FCP.

or

4b. Import DNxHD files into MC. These will "fast import".

The various encoders will all yield slightly different video levels from each
other, but are similar and won't be clipped or crushed. At least not in my
experience. They will APPEAR to have different gamma levels, but this is a
QuickTime player issue. Gamma values will be very close inside FCP, Premiere
Pro, After Effects or Media Composer.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Oliver
