Does anyone have experience with using a Canon Vixia HF M52 Camcorder with Final Cut Express?

I'm looking to purchase a new camcorder that is compatible with my Mac OS X (10.6.8) that will work well with Final Cut Express 4.0.1  I have downloaded the camcorder support info from Final Cut Express that list many capital camcorders.  I've used Sony tape based camcorders in the past.  I'm looking for High Definition.  I can stick with a tape based camcorder, but thought I would look at the Canon Vixia HF M52 as an alternative, which is listed as compatible.  I would like to download directly from the camera to FCE.  I film in the wilderness, like having an optical zoom of 20 or greater (yes, I use a small tripod). Does anyone have experience with the Canon Vixia?  And if not, but you really like another camcorder that you can recommend, what is it?

The Vixia HF M52 is an AVCHD camcorder and should work perfectly fine with Final Cut Express 4 (4.0.1).
The published "camcorder support list" has never been up to date and I would not take it to be a definitive list of compatible camcorders.
One note, however, the Vixia HF M52 supports a number of different shooting modes.  I suggest sticking with the AVCHD 1920 x 1080i / 60 fps mode for use with FCE.   FCE does not support progressive modes except in 720p25/30 (which the M52 does not seem to shoot anyway); nor does FCE support any 24 fps modes.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??

    Does anyone have experience with unzipping a password-encrypted ZipFile??
    My Zip Class works fine with every unencrypted file, but when I try to open an encrypted one, i get an error Message ("Encrypted ZIP entry not supported")
    Is ist impossible to unzip encrypted ZIPs???

    I've searched around a little bit and THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
    There is a (beta)version of winzip8 that uses a cli (command line interface)
    So, all you have to do is to implement a Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your java program to call winzip8 and pass the zipfile path and the password.
    Here's the URL: http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.htm

    Does anyone have experience using Oracle Large Objects (LOB's) -
    specifically the CLOB datatype? Forte supports Oracle LONG's but given that
    Oracle is going to phase out that datatype and they're trying to push users
    towards CLOB's instead of LONG's, I want to find out if Forte can handle it
    and, if so, what we should know about mapping Forte datatypes to the Oracle
    CLOB. [Their compatibility matrix for v3.5 indicates suppport under Oracle
    8.1.x, and CLOB's were introduced back in 8.0.x - but the word from Forte is
    that they currently don't support it.]
    thanks in advance.

  • Does anyone have experience with Virgin or Boost Mobile?

    I have been with verizon for a long time...I have 4 lines with this service. I have since bought several phones off of craigslist or ebay just so I wouldn't have to be subjected to the tier plan. We use so much data it's crazy. I want the new Samsung Galaxy S4 so bad!!! Grrr! I've even thought about switching to Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile. We pay so much for our phones now and I know of one guy who has boost mobile and loves it. Does anyone have experience with these providers?

    BC's CRM is part of the package, Salesforce is of course more dedicated. That pretty much sum's up these sorts of use cases.

  • Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    Does anyone have experience with Iogear GBU 421? My MacPro has no in-built Bluetooth.

    My 2010 Mac Pro does have built in bluetooth but I use the IOGear GBU421 instead.  That's because the built in bluetooth on the mac pro suck$ if you are more than about 3 feet from the machine.
    See the descussion: Poor Bluetooth reception and jerky mouse
    It works but you need to get used to its "quirks".  If you sleep your machine like I do the dongle is off because there is no USB power when sleeping for the dongle.  So you need some wired USB device to wake the machine.  In my case I use my wired keyboard.
    When waking up it doesn't always become paired immediately (maybe 30% of the time).  Then you need to flip the mouse switch to get it active.  Interesting enough I don't have that problem with the trackpad.
    Most of the time, in the rear occasions I reboot my machine, the mouse is ready to go.
    Once you get used to the "quirks" it's no big deal.  Hey, for about $9 what do you want?
    By the way I also always keep a wired mouse attached as a backup.

  • Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?

    Does anyone have experience with error 504 when trying to download a podcast?  I've been a subscriber for two years without issue and in the last two days can't download this particular podcast (everything else is working fine - music, other podcasts, etc)

    The album was released on the 27th March this year, so the error occurred almost immediately after it was supposedly available.
    In the manage pre-orders section of my account, it says AVAILABLE but does not give me any choice over whether to download it, just to cancel it. Is this normal?
    iTunes customer services reset my password and tried to download the album themselves, but they also got the 5002 error, so it's been passed off to the engineers. How long does that usually take?
    If anyone has any other suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone have experience downloading audio books in Europe using a U.S. account?

    The terms of the iTunes Store state that you agree not to use or even attempt to use the US iTunes Store from outside the US. Sorry, then, but we cannot discuss that issue here.

    Hi Kenneth
    Usualy we take the strongest measures to avoid that and never let it come to that. You should of had back up's running on and off site. How bad is your problem?? I'm assuming you are talking abou a hard drive that is faulty. Have you tried restarting in Safe Mode??
    You get experts that can retrieve data from a hard drive depending how bad the problem is. It usualy cost more than the Hard drive......but if you are desperate and value your data you'll do it.
    Hope this helps

  • Does anyone have experience connecting Phonak Compilot Base station to AppleTV?

    Does anyone have experience connecting Phonak Compilot Base station to AppleTV?  AppleTV only has digital audio output and the base station only has a single RCA I/P audio connector.. I already have DirectTV and the BluRay player connected (on individual RCA I/P cables) and these work fine..

    You would need to look for a DAC and go through the optical port on the device.

  • Does anyone know why- when I iport a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright in IMovie full screen becomes worst in final cut, full screen...but clear when it is in still position?

    Does anyone know why- when I import a one minute video project into Final Cut X from I Movie the resolution that looked alright full screen in I Movie instantly becomes worst on full screen in Final Cut X...but clear again when I stop it to still position?

    I'm new to video editing but I think I recall seeing an option in FCPX which lets you choose the video quality for the preview window. I think the window reduces the quality when playing back for performance reasons and so perhaps that is why it seems to have less quality when moved over to FCPX? Just a possibility, I'm sure one of the more experienced users can confirm or deny this theory.

  • I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am

    I am traveling with my macbook pro and I forgot to install final cut express and quicktime pro before I left. How can I in a way download them for free on my laptop from where I am? I need them and don't want naturally to buy them again!!!
    Thank you    

    Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
    Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product.  You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
    Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.
