Editing Canon Rebel T3i files in FCP 5

I'm a newbie to FCP and shoot videos with a Canon Rebel T3i. Obviously, I can copy the .mov files from the SD card to my Mac and edit in Final Cut Pro 5, but it's a bear (slow rendering time and whatnot) and I'm never impressed with the video quality output once I'm done rendering. Specially, the files I am trying to work with now are in 1280x720 format, 60 fps.
Here are some questions/scenarios:
1. Can I import my video files straight from my SD card into Final Cut Pro 5 (seeing as I only have Log and Capture and not Log and Transfer)?
2. Can I use Compressor or some other program to convert my files to a more FCP-friendly file?
3. What setting must I use in FCP to import my HD files and export them as HD files?
Thanks!

1. Yes, but you won't be happy working with it.
2. Yes, and that would be whatever HD editing codec you have in your QT library…hopefully Pro Res 422.
3. Some flavor of 720p60. (I don't have 5.1, so I can't be more specific.) The sequence settings should be Frame size: 1280X720 frame size, Pixel AR: square, Field Dominance: None.
I'd use a card reader and copy everything to a media drive. Then transcode (MPEG STreamclip is faster than Compressor). Then import.
Good luck.

Canon Rebel T3i flash error

I am on my second Canon Rebel T3i. Out of the blue I get the Err 05 that the flash can not be raised. I turn it off and back on like it says but that doesn't help. Same thing happened with my first one only a month after I had it. This camera is less than a year old and doing this. Why? Do I have to send it away to be fixed?

There was an issue where the camera thinks an external flash is connected. You can check under the metal brackets where a shoe-bracket flash would go to see if the little button is being pushed down and blow some compressed air over it. If that doesn't help, you'll probably need to send it in for a defective flash release.
Although I do work for the Geek Squad, all comments and opinions are my own.

I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I need to tether into my Macbook Pro. How can I do that?

I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I need to tether into my Macbook Pro. How can I do that? I updated my iPhoto to recongize my camera, it does. When connected I see it in the USB utlitiy. But my MacBook Pro says "no camera found." What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Thanks, Kappy
I was fooling around with Lightroom and it has a tethering option. I tried it and it worked. But I am still reading my camera manual as you recommeded.

When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up. What gives?

When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up. Do I need this software? Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?

When I try to open the EOS digital solution disk ver 24.1 for my new Canon Rebel T3i camera on my Mac 10.5.8 a notice "this software is not supported by the CPU you are using" comes up
You need to contact Canon - or read the software specs - it sounds like the software you got form them is not supported by your computer
Do I need this software?
Probably not - exactly what about it do you want?
Can I just download the pictures to my Mac without using the Canon software?
Probably - if you are shooting JPEG - launch iPhoto and in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to launch iPhoto and connect your camera - iPhoto should launch and you should be able to import
Some cameras need to be set to mass storage mode - read your camera manual for details and procedures
If you are using RAW then your camera needs to be on this list and you need the versions of software noted - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757 - for older OS versions you can use google to find the list of supported cameras

Camera Raw CS4 Canon Rebel T3i update?

Is there an update to Camera Raw (CS4!) for the Canon EOS Rebel T3i?
Or, is there an equivelant method for opening CR2 files in PS CS4?
Can I update to Camera Raw 6.4.1 (which is when it started support for the Canon Rebel T3i) with CS4?

Once a new verson of PS comes out camera raw is not updated, and the old version is not suppported.
Also, you have to stay with the ACR for each version, which is one number higher than the PS version. So for CS4 you have to stay with ACR 5.x
You options are to upgrade to current version so you can use ACR 7.x or download the free current DNG converter. Currently the DNG converter is 7.1 which is the same as ACR 7.1.

Canon Rebel T3i Shoots Images Instead of Video on Video Mode. Help!!

Hello Canon community, I'm fairly new to DSLR cameras and a I recently purchased a T3i for video purposes. Today when I tried to shoot a video on video mode it just kept taking pictures every time I would press the shutter button. I'm fairly new to the menu settings and I don't know what to change in order to make it shoot video. It is on the video mode. Do you know why this is happening? And if so what can I change to make it shoot videos? Any answers will be apreciated!

This should help. http://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-shoot-video-on-your-canon-rebel--photo-12747

T3i 'movie recording has automatically stopped' and other ongoing and 'new' problems.

I purchased a T3i in March of 2011 and within a year of purchase we started experiencing problems.
Firstly - I purchased a three year Mack Warranty with this camera.
By June of 2012, the 'movie recording has automatically stopped' problem was no longer our only issue. That month we lost a whole production day of video. There was no explanation. It was on the same card that we had used before and we sued it after. It was not a particularly hot shoot because we were inside and out frequently. All footage from that day was gone from the camera. I ran a recovery on the files; they were present, but they were unrecoverable. When this happened again a couple of weeks later, we threw away the card that it happened on and on the third event, We were using speed 10 cards only.
On August 31st, I sent our T3i in to Mack who looked at it, couldn't duplicate the problem (movie recording auto stopped, much less data loss) and they got it ready to send back. I spoke with Mack support and got a supervisor to look more closely with a technician at the problem (I had sent a very detailed description of the problem) based on my description and a technician paying attention, they were able to duplicate the problem but not fix it. They sent it to Canon. Canon duplicated the problem and 'fixed' it. It was then sent back to Mack because they won't send directly to Mack's customer. Mack sent it back. I received it sometime after October 23rd. Note - that's no camera from 8/31 to 10/23 + a couple of days shipping. Nearly two solid months.
'Movie recording automatically stopped' would not go away but we were not losing footage. I called Canon. Canon support told me that it could be a card speed issue and if not that, maybe a bad make or brand. They said that this is a problem with DSLR's or maybe rebels specifically and we would need to learn to deal with it - something about data capture and data block sizes. The problem is that when you're shooting a scene, it's not always just 'incidental' if you have to start over because of an error, is it? And is this how Canon's products are to work, really?
In December, a white dot appeared on our sensor. We sent it in on Jan 10 and got it back sometime after Jan. 31st. Movie Recording Automatically Stopped is still occurring. It comes and goes. :Lately it's been infrequent.
A little while ago I pulled the camera out to take some snapshots of a system I'm working on. No matter which mode, autofocus on, with the flash up, attempting to get an autofocus (depressing snapshot button 1/2 way) I get this strange electric sound and a flash. Autofocus will not engage. Again - no matter which mode - no autofocus, a strange electric sound and a flash. Movie recording works fine. But that's not the only capability of this camera, is it?
Canon - it is apparent to me that we got a lemon. This will not work for my business any longer. Trying to get problems solved with this camera has been lengthy, disconcerting, painful. My disappointment has me throwing in the towel and asking - why the heck would I buy a Canon again much less the Mack warranty to go with it?
Please give me a solution beyond going for another two months without a camera that comes back and develops a new problem within one to two months’ time.

This problem has been posted online in many places & is a known and serious flaw with the T3i. How come Canon feigns ignorance & blames it on the card or file size? Why don't they post a positive solution or at least admit to the camera's shortcomings?
The Canon tech rep is being disingenuous! The problem happens on and off to a lot of people using the same card!!! It has happened to me as well with me as well. Sometimes it records to the max limit & sometimes it just stops! Doesn't Canon do research into serious errors with their cameras?
I'm sure they know of this problem & don't want to recall & fix their sh..ty camera.

Recommendation for correct wide angle lens and flash for real estate photos for Canon Rebel T3i?

Hi I'm new to the forum. I always hire out a professional photog for my real estate photos however have thought that with the amount that I pay them, I could buy my own wide angle lens to do on my own.
Any recommendations for what wide angle lens and flash to buy?
Here are some examples of the work they have done in the past for me:
Any advice would be much appreciated. I enjoy amateur photography with my family and portraits but am hoping to be able to do more of my own work on my listings. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your samples look like incredibility simple images to do. I also suspect little artificial light was added. Possibly just a bounce off the ceiling.
Since you already have a Rebel T3i, I would get the Canon 430 EX, and just one. But be aware it will likely not provide equal coverage for a 10-22mm lens. Ten millimeters is pretty wide even on a T3i. Bouncing off the ceiling will help this.
Some ceilings may not be good for bounce either.
Give it a go and you will learn what works and what not. But the old saying, KISS, applies. You will learn!
Photshop and/or Lightroom are great additions. They both have learning curves and PS a very long learning curve.

Canon Rebel t3i or t2i ???? need input

I am upgading from my little Canon Power Shot. Decided on a Canon Rebel either t3i or t2i and would like input.
The only difference I can see is the swivel out LCD screen, is it worth spending the extra money on that opiton???
I do take a lot of video's.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Swivel screens is nice when you shoot low or overhead
Swivel screens are unprotected (ie a belt buckle) when exposed and must be flip around in order to view it.... a hassle
Swivel screens also results in more blurry shaky pictures.... using the view finder will be a more steady image as the camera is held closer to your bodies center of gravity
DSLR videos offer great images, but horrible give audio when the Auto Focus or Image Stabilizer is used. Turn up your computer speakers and click on this link. The audio is like listening to finger nails on a chalkboard. Just say "NO"! If this your wedding video.... you will be "so fired!".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r3VcFueYw4&t=4s
DSLR videos will require external microphones for best audio.... suddenly your camera is no longer portable.
DSLR videos are also limited in length before the sensor overheats..... will your wedding completed in 12 minutes? I prefer packing a separate HD camcorder.
I like Canon pocket shooters and HD cameras, but I like Nikon for DSLR's. Consider the D7000 and the D5100 as well in your research

T3i- Movie recording has stopped automatically

Hi, guys. I've never had this problem with my T3i/SD card until tonight, and I'm not sure what the problem is because I have the Sandisk Extreme Pro, 32 GB SD card that reads 95 MB/s. What could be the problem? The video stops recording after about 5-10 seconds if I'm playing my piano and it has to record me. My SD card has 17GB of space, so that can't be it, can it? Sadly enough, I don't have another SD card to test this with.
I have also formatted the card again and it works better, but every other video or so, it stops recording automatically. For some reason it's only doing it when I'm recording myself doing something complex, such as playing drums or the piano.
Any thoughts?

If the camera stops recording after 5-10 seconds intermittently ("...every other video or so, .."), it is trying to tell you something.
The camera has stopped the recording because it has been instructed to do so. You are confident that the shut-down isn't due to running out of space on the card so I'll discount that diagnosis. You have previously been able to get a good long recording of the same sort of subject successfully. That suggests that the card was reliable at one time but it doesn't mean it is still reliable.
The camera might also shut the camera down if it senses overheating of the internal electronics. This is usually the case when filming a scene with a lot of action. You described that you film yourself drumming and I would think that would qualify as a fairly energetic activity. The reason for the overheating is that the camera uses a compression algorithm (mathematical code) to save the file. The more "changes" there are in a scene, the harder the camera works to stuff all that activity efficiently on your card. This hard work creates considerable heat. If you were to record yourself drumming and had just finished a 15 minute clip, it might be necessary to let the camera cool down before resuming shooting.
Finally, the room temperature has a effect on how well the camera can shed the heat it builds up. If you had been filming is a realitively mild temperature and moved the camera to a higher temperature area (adding lights might create considerable heat), the camera will not perform as well as it previously did.
Your camera has a way of telling you it is overheating. Check your manual (p 151) and if you don't have one, go online and get one.
Good luck.

Re: T3i- Movie recording has stopped automatically

I just bought a brand new sandisk 'extreme pro' 32g card, and set the camera on a windowsill trying to record a jar. It still stopped recording after a few seconds. It has done this with the last three cards I've tried in it. This is pretty much a brand new camera.

perusing the interwebs a bit more, i decided to give magic lantern a try. Seems to be working. (There goes my warranty). Also changed the framerate from 29.97 to 24, but, really Canon...if you're going to sell me a camera that claims to record 1080 29.97 on an sd card you should either sell it with a BIG disclaimer or provide cards that you know will work.

My canon rebel T3i isnt being recognized by my computer all of a sudden

I cant figure out why my camera isnt being recognized by my computer. And my EOS Utilitysoftware only has the Monitor folder and Picture Style Editor highlighted--- all ther others are greyed out as in not available. I have used this for 2 years already with no problems

Hi spaghettimark!
Thanks for posting on the Canon Forum!
To help the community and myself determine what is causing this, we need some more information.
What operating system are you running on your computer?
What version of EOS Utility do you have installed?
Are there any devices connected to your computer other than the camera?

Hello I'm Christina, I'm using the Canon Rebel T1i to record videos. It only records 40 seconds

I'm using it to record YouTube videos but it only records the first 40-46 seconds then it shuts off. It's on the mode to record up to 24 minutes but it shuts off by itself. How can I fix this?

Usually when this happens it's the memory card.
As the camera is recording frames of video, it goes to the internal memory buffer of the camera. The camera, in turn, writes the data to the memory card. The memory card's ability to "write" data is usually the slowest link in the chain. If the card cannot write data as fast as the camera can capture frames, then the internal memory on the camera will fill up and the camera will be forced to stop recording.
The specs for the T1i require a minimum "Class 6" memory card (the logo look like a C with a number 6 inside) to record video, but frankly a Class 10 card would be better.
I've come to learn that not all memory cards perform nearly as well as their manufacturer's claim. SanDisk and Lexar brands have a fairly solid reputation. Even among SanDisk and Lexar, they make different grades of cards.
Lastly, card do eventually wear out. Think of them like car tires. After one ride you wont notice the wear.... but thousands of miles later it all adds up. The process of "writing" to a card slightly degrades it and after enough writes the card will fail. For a quality card, the number of writes should be very high (in excess of 100,000 writes). So it's possible that a card which was fine once upon a time may start to exhibit problems after a few years.

Issues importing from Canon Rebel T3i after upgrading to Mavericks and Lightroom 5

Hi there,
I just upgraded to Mavericks and Lightroom 5 on a 2008 Macbook Pro.
LR5 is working fine on my photos that have already been imported. However, when I plug in my camera to import new files (RAW and JPEG), the camera does not even mount - aka. does not show up as a possible source at all. I have tried turning off and on, restarting, and using the old LR4 to see if that would solve the problem, but it did not. I also tried importing from the EOS Utility, but that does not recognize the camera as a possible source either. Please HELP!
