Black borders, Adobe CS4 & Canon Eos 550D

Hi All,
Im pretty new to the video scene, and ive got adobe cs4 for a while but never
used it alot, now im recording video's with a canon eos550d with a great quality,
but allways after my bounce there appears 2 black borders up and down.
the video output format from the canon is: 1920 by 1080 .MOV H264
when I import it in a default page template called "DV PAL Widescreen 48K"
and using the youtube HD setting the output gives 2 black borders at the top of the movie and the bottom.
I tried to put the project to 1080p but then ive got no possibility to hit "enter" and a quick offline render..
is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

You want a sequence with 1080p square pixels, for a frame size of 1920 x 1080. The presets in CS 4 are in the AVCHD section that would match this, dependent on the frame rate at which you shot and whether your camera shoots progressive or interlaced video. Chose the one that matches the frame rate you actually shot at, you can export at a different frame size and frame rate after editing. The fact that the presets are designed for editing video compressed using AVCHD doesn't really matter as long as the sequence settings match the actually footage.

  • Importing RAW images from Canon EOS 550D

    I've used iPhoto 8 (version 7.1.5) with a Canon Powershot. Everything working fine.
    I just bought a Canon EOS 550D. Importing JPEG files is OK; But iPhoto refuses to import the RAW images from the 550D.
    How can I solve this problem ?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera is new and not supported as yet by either Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475?viewlocale=en_US
    or Snow Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
    Evidently the camera is so new that even the Adobe Camera RAW converter doesn't support it yet - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    You'll have to use another application that does recognize that format or shoot the highest quailty JPEG the camera provides until support is offered.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Is there a USB charging cable for a Canon EOS 550D?

    Is there a USB charging cable for a Canon EOS 550D? 

    You have to use the battery charger to recharge the battery. The USB port won't do it.

  • Canon EOS 550D JPEGs don't show white balance EXIF info in Aperture

    I have 23,000 photos in my iPhoto library which I would eventually like to transfer to Aperture. I've experimented with importing just a few photos from iPhoto so that I can practise using Aperture before I go over to it completely, but have a problem in that the white balance info for JPEGs is not copying over with the rest of the metadata. The white balance column in the Info pane is empty and there are no 'cloud' or 'sun' symbols at the top right of the Info pane beside the word JPEG. The white balance info for RAW photos, however, copies over fine.
    I have performed Aperture Library First Aid (repaired permissions and database, and rebuilt database) but the problem still exists. I have also created a new Aperture library and then imported some original photos from iPhoto which I exported to the desktop and then into the new Aperture library. I had the same problem, with no white balance information showing.
    This question is being re-posted in a slightly different form from a similar one I asked yesterday, because it has been suggested to me that it may be a problem peculiar to Canon EOS 550D users. Has any other Canon EOS 550D user come across this problem, or can anyone suggest a remedy please? I am using the latest versions of Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11.

    Hello Ernie
    I think you've pinpointed the nub of the problem. As I was only trying out Aperture, I thought the best thing to do would be to import just a few photos from iPhoto and have a play, so I went to the Import button in the Toolbar and imported them from my iPhoto library individually. After reading your advice I have just changed libraries and opened the iPhoto library in Aperture and the white balance information is now showing. I can't really see what the difference is between the two, I would have thought the white balance information would show whichever way I looked at the photos but I don't care, because you have solved it for me. Thank you so much for your time. So many people have tried to help me and I'm most grateful to the Apple Support community!

  • Can FCP recognize Canon EOS 550D H.264 mov files?

  • Import video from canon eos 550d

    What settings should be FCP7 to successfully import .mov from Canon eos 550d?
    I would like video without the noise and recoil.
    Tnx

    550...that's the T2i, right? Downloading the EOS Log and Transfer plugin, and hacking it, is one way:
    http://lfhd.net/2010/04/04/log-and-transfer-for-canon-dslrs/
    Magic Bullet Grinder to convert to ProRes is another:
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-grinder/
    Or Compressor.
    No matter what, you need to convert the footage to ProRes for editing:
    #51 - Canon 5D MkII / Canon 7D footage into FCP
    Shane's Stock Answer #51 - how do you bring in footage from the Canon 5D and 7D cameras into FCP to edit?
    You need to convert all of the Canon 5D MkII footage from the H.264 format that it records, to ProRes 422 (ProRes HQ is unnecessary...no quality difference) Yes, the file sizes get drastically larger. H.264 is an acquisition and delivery format, not an editing one.
    You can use the Canon EOS Log and Transfer plugin that works with the 1D, 5D and 7D cameras. This plugin is great because it brings in the camera's TIME OF DAY as timecode, instead of starting each clip at 00:00:00:00 like Compressor or other conversion software will do.

  • Reading RAW files from Canon EOS 550D

    I take pictures in RAW and process them with Elements 8.  I had no problems when using a Canon EOS 1000D but now that I am using a 550D Elements is not reading the files.  It is not just that it will not open them - it does not even read them as files.
    I know that the camera is capturing good files, and that they are transfering to the computer because I can read them with the Canon utility Digital Photo Professional.
    What do I need to do in order to get Elements to recognise my files?

    I purchased PSE8 and installed it then ran the download 5.7 and discovered it still does not work by putting the Camera Raw.8bi file into the Photoshop Elements 8.0 Plug ins file as detailed on Adobe's instructions. It still would not import the raw files.  I then discovered another method through another helpful thread to place it as follows:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi
    This works!  The only downside is that when you open the editor from the organiser you get a bad command box saying that it does not like the Camera Raw.8bi file in this location, but if you ignore this message it still proceeds to open the editor and you can proceed as normal. I have tried to put the Camera Raw.8bi into the other Plug-In files to see if it behaves better without any luck, so if anyone has any further ideas to stop this bad command box then everything will be as it is meant to be!
    To be honest this update has been available for months so its also up to Adobe to pull their finger out and get it corrected because they are still giving the same instructions for newer updates as well.
    I hope this helps somebody !!

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark II with Adobe Bridge (CS4) and Camera Raw 5.4

    I use a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and store in RAW-format.
    The camera is updated with latest software etc.
    I have the Adobe Design CS4 package on my computer and updated to the camera raw 5.4 version (bridge/photoshop/etc).
    All this is updated to last versions / updates etc.
    I upload my pictures from the camera to my computer.
    When I inspect the files with the Canon software such as "Digital Photo Professional 3.6.1.0" or "Canon Utilities ZoomBrowser EX 6.3.1" (this are the latest versions and updates)  the files are copied correct to my computer.
    The files can be opened with the canon software without any problem and can be modified and converted and all normal operations can be performed.
    The files can also be converted to ".jpg" and no problem occurs.
    The problem starts after the folder with the pictures (in RAW-format) has been opened / viewed in Adobe Bridge or after Adobe bridge is started.
    After starting and viewing with bridge the folder only some of the file become corrupted and cannot be used anymore.So the majority of the files remain OK but some files become corrupt.
    A part of the picture is visible partly, the remaining part are lines, dots, squares etc and the divisions of correct picture and corrupted seems to be at random. There is no structure in the way the corrupted file are shown in bridge. Please look at the enclosed picture in this message.
    The files can be opened in Camera Raw and Photoshop but they show the corrupted file and can be stored etc.
    But the picture is destroyed.
    Does anybody have a sollution or similar problems?
    Best regards

    There are forums for Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop.
    Any of them would be better than posting here.

  • Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 does not support Canon EOS 500D

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Canon EOS 500D and it seems that Adobe Raw 5.3 (i.e. LR2 and CS4) do not support the new (or better changed) Canon RAW format (CR2).
    Does anyone know when this camera model / RAW format will be supported?
    Any ideas for workarounds?
    Best regards,
    paulmut 

    If the camera allows it, shoot raw+JPEG, that way, you can still use/work with the JPEG version, until the CR2 of the 500D will be supported.
    You can also contact Canon and suggest them to take a competitive edge over Nikon by embracing the DNG format, that would have allowed support at release date, in many raw converters programs, like Pentax and others are doing.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark 111 camera and I currently use CS4 Photoshop/Bridge

    I just purchased a Canon EOS 5D Mark 111 camera and I use CS$ Photoshop/Bridge. Will I need to upgrade my software to make it work with my camera?
    What do I do?

    Adobe currently offers two versions of Photoshop:
    CS6 (perpetual license: pay once, own forever: no upgrades)
    CC (Cloud version: subscription only: all upgrades are free)
    CS6 is superseded software. Adobe is no longer working on it. However CS6 is still being offered for sale for those who want it. However, since CS4 is not eligible for an upgrade to CS6, you're faced with paying full price for CS6.
    The CC option requires a monthly fee but it's the current version. It's the next major version after CS6. New and enhanced features are added to CC regularly.
    If neither the full priced CS6 nor the Cloud CC version are for you then the free DNG converter is your other option so you can continue using CS4.
    You download the free Adobe DNG converter http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html
    Then you must open all 5D Mark III Raw files in the converter and convert to DNG. That adds an extra step to your workflow. Then you can edit the DNGs in CS4.
    Quality-wise DNG files = Raw files. Raw files are manufacturer and camera specific. DNGs are open source. Any software which reads DNG files can read them.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor
