Bringing in 5D mark iii files via Log & Transfer in FCP 7.0.3?

Hello-
Running FCP 7.0.3 on Duo Quad Core Mac Pro, 10.6 OS.
Just shot some lovely stuff with new 5D mark iii and hoping to use FCP log and transfer tool to bring it in.  (Footage is part of a Canon HDSLR-shot project and have succesfully brought in 5D, 7D, T2i & T3i  - with hack -  footage thru L&T.
Per Canon's mark iii product page, downloaded the latest and greatest EOS plug-in -
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_...
After installing, attempted to open files in L&T and after a couple of mintues of spinning circle action (that status meter in bet/ browser & queue) the FCP app crashed.
Called Canon this AM.  They're claiming latest L&T plug-in will only work if you're targeting files off a device (ie off original cards) or a virtual drive.  Also said that's been true of previous Canon HDSLR model's footage - 5D ii, 7D, etc. Which totally wasn't my experience - for last 2 years been transferring full contents off cards (keeping folder structure intact) onto external drives and opening successfully in L&T from those.  But that's another story. 
Anyway, still have the cards around so tried to bring in off the original cards, via FW card reader device, in L&T and still no luck. Again, crashed the app.
Also opened the card in Canon's image browser app - does recognize/import the footage but oddly can't read any of the metadata for the clips.
Called Canon again and they didn't have any answers;  suggested I reach out to Apple.
Footage itself doesn't seem to be corrupt in any way.  Have opened in Quicktime, MPEG Streamclip.
Please, if anybody has any ideas, would love to hear them.
Ideal is to continue to use the L&T too for this workflow. 
Getting worried, Nick.

have you tried deleting (or resetting) your fcp preferences?

  • Cannot open Canon 5D mark III files, but I can open MarkII Cr2s

    Any updates for the mark III

    If your using pse 10 then you'll have to wait for camera raw 6.7 to come out of beta.
    In the meantime you could download the 6.7 dng converter and convert your mark III files to
    dng copies which will then open in photoshop elements:

  • Editing Mark iii files in Camera Raw

    I am running ACR 4.1 on Mac 10.4.8, with Photoshop CS3. When I go to edit a RAW file, shot with a Canon Mark iii, in Photoshop, I first select it in Photo Mechanic and hit edit, but it takes me straight to Photoshop, instead of launching the Camera Raw editing window.
    Is this a problem with Camera Raw or Photoshop? Or should I be asking the Photo Mechanic people?
    Thanks.

    Suzy,
    Are you shooting raw+jpeg? If so, maybe Photo Mechanic is set up to send the JPEG to Photoshop, rather than the raw file? Check in your Preferences->Launching tab. The section near the bottom that says "When in RAW+JPEG mode, editing a photo will:" and make sure "Edit the RAW photo" is checked...
    Good luck!

  • My ps5 wont read mark iii files

    I need help! My ps cs5 wont read my new camera files, I tried downloading a converter and the converter didn't recognize the files either. Can anyone explain this in an easy step by step way?

    Photoshop CS4 will never be able to directly open 5D Mark III images.  Adobe stopped adding new camera support to Camera Raw version 5.x long ago.  For ultimate integration and convenience you'll need to upgrade to Photoshop CS6.
    But you have an alternative:  You can download and install the latest DNG Converter software from Adobe.  Then you will be able to convert your 5D Mark III images to DNG files, which Photoshop CS4 will be able to open.

  • .MTS via Log & Transfer - ISSUES

    I am creating a project from AVCHD files. I have imported some via L&T directly from different SD cards. Other .MTS files have been given to me as data archives (ie: no AVCHD file structure).
    When I open the L&T window and try to transfer the [archived] .MTS files (now residing on one of my external drives), they are grayed out. I assume this is because the file structure that can be read by FCP L&T is not present as it was when I captured from the cards.
    So what are my options? Is my only option converting these files with Toast or a similar program?
    Your wisdom and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
    cheers!

    Hello,
    I'm shooting with a new Panasonic HMC150 onto an SDHC Class 6 card. I'm having the same problem the above user is having even after copying the entire folder structure as it is shown on the SDHC card directly onto my hd. The Log&Transfer still won't read the .mts files. It reads through all the folders until i get to the stream folder containing the light grey .mts files which are un openable
    I'm reading about this same problem from other users and can't seem to find any real explanation. Why do I have to buy toast when I'm supposed to be able to transcode to prorez 422 proxy from FCP7 log and transfer? I'm depressed and aggravated at this point and have resorted to heavy alcohol consumption. Any good advice will make me cry fermented tears of joy. Thanks.

  • EOS 5D Mark III ratings don't transfer to LR 4.1

    I can't see that ratings transfer to Adobe Lightroom 4.1, but they do transfer to Canon DPP just fine. I think I've looked through all EXIF and IPTC fields and can't find the ratings data anywhere in LR. Where is it supposed to show in Lightroom?
    My workflow:
    - Rate RAW images in EOS 5D Mark III on compact flash
    - Remove compact flash form 5D and plug in to USB card reader.
    - Import in Lightroom 4.1 using LR's import function (on Windows Vista 32-bit SP3)
    I can't see any ratings in LR, but when looking at the images in DPP and in Windows Explorer (with latest Canon RAW codec) the ratings are there. As I can see the ratings in DPP and Explorer it feels like a setting in Lightroom isn't right.
    Any help on this issue would be great.

    That might be true, but I've read on numerous sites (e.g. http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii/, http://mansurovs.com/canon-5d-mark-iii-review, http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/star_ratings_set_in_5d_mark_iii_not_ transferred_to_lightroom_v4) that in-camera ratings are transferred to LR. It just doens't seem to work for me.
    Any help on this issue is very welcome.

  • FCE Keeps Stalling when Importing via Log & Transfer...HELP!

    Been using FCE for a while...with my Canon Vixia HF-10. Suddenly, when I try to download my video from the camera via log and transfer, it will download some clips but then I get the beachball of death. It just stalls and even force quit won't stop it.
    Anyone have any idea what causes this?

    AVCHD codec of 1920HA
    I use a similar camera and yes, 1080p is a no, no at the present.
    1080i is a "no worries mate" affair.
    The 1920 HA etc. are the differing quality/data rates/duration that the camera can record to.
    You can change them via the Menu>Record Setup>Rec Mode.
    HA is the highest level for interlaced: around 17 Mbps VBR stepping down to 5 Mbps.
    1080p is 28 Mbps by comparison and is way better if displayed on a compatible monitor.
    On my wish list is handling of p footage in FCE. Maybe one day!!!

  • Integration of the payroll file via Data Transfer Workbench

    Hello my friends,
    With the new version of SAP 8.8, I can not integrate the payroll file.
    I think the error comes from the fact that the code allocation is not in my file and can not be taken as the current status in SAP. While it worked in the old version.
    Kind regards,
    Amine Z.

    Hi Amine,
    You have to check new data structure to make sure your file matches the new design.
    Thanks,

  • Footage captured via Log & Transfer flickers

    Hello!
    We are using a Sony HDR-XR550 camcorder with the following settings on the camera:
    frame size: 1440x1080
    video rate: 29.97 fps
    compressor: apple ProRes 422
    data rate: 14.8-15.1 MB/sec
    audio: 48 kHz
    pixel aspect HD 1440x1080
    field dominance: upper (odd)
    I've imported the footage, and on playback it flickers. I've tried changing the sequence presets to match the camera settings, and it still flickers.
    Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Or what the problem could be?
    (This is the first time we've used this camera. Usually use a Panasonic HD camera where the settings are 960x720 frame size; 23.98 fps video rate; DVCPRO HD 720p60 compressor; 5.9 MB/sec Data rate; 48kHz audio rate)
    Thanks!
    -Tracy

    However, my issue at this point is that this footage is imported onto the computer's hard drive, and has been erased from the Sony Handycam.
    Wait...what? WHAT? Why the HECK did you/they do that? No no no no no no no no no no NO NO! Do you take TAPES that you shoot, capture them, then record over them? Throw them out? Then why do you do this with tapeless media?
    You need to watch this tutorial. And EVERYONE THERE needs to watch this tutorial: Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial
    NEVER EVER EVER import from the tapeless media, then erase it. BACKUP! If you did this properly, you wouldn't have to worry about this...just reimport and you'd be fixed. NOW you see one reason why you backup the footage.
    Lordy...

  • Sony NX5U Log & Transfer Long Clips Issue

    I've used FCP Studio for a very long time, and have been using the Sony NX5U camcorder for 3 years.  Never had any problems once FCP 7.0.3 came out.  But about a year and a half ago, I started noticing long clips would crash FCP 7 just seconds before the end of the upload.  The max length seems to vary between 65 minutes and 75 minutes.  I could swear I had earlier projects with longer clips and no problem but couldn't track any down.  Yesterday I uploaded a 74 minute clip no problem, but a 93 minute clip crashed.  Today a 68 minute clip crashed the program.  Never had a problem with clips under 60 minutes.
    The upload indicator bar gets within 1/32 of an inch from the end when the crash happens.
    My work-around has been to break the clip into clips shorter than 60 minutes.  I overlap the time code by about 1 second and then put it all together on the timeline.
    I started looking at the forum today because in the last few days I recorded two separate projects each with multiple long rolls of either music performances or speeches.  Most are about 90 minutes, two as long as 180 minutes.  It's a hassle breaking these clips into shorter pieces so today I started reviewing the forum to see if anyone else has run into this.
    There doesn't seem to be a lot posting about it, and the the ones that do post seem to have different "crash" times ... I saw one having a similar problem with clips 45 minutes in length, for example.  The only suggestions offered are to use programs like Clip Wrap.
    Is this really a restriction with Sony AVCHD files and Log & Transfer in FCP 7?  I tried a few third-party solutions but they seemed cumbersome.  When FCP 7 Load & Transfer works, it works great.  It's just these 65+ minute clips that are the problem.
    I just doubleclicked on a 123 minute clip in the AVCHD Package in the Finder, and it opened fine in QuickTime Player X.  I can export it out of there. The "Movie" export did it very quickly ... less than 20 minutes ... but it ends up as an H.264 file so I would need to render in FCP 7 or deal with it in Compressor to get it to ProRes.  But it does give me one cohesive clip.
    What other experiences have users had trying to Load & Transfer long Sony AVCHD clips into FCP 7? 
    I'm OS 10.8.4 on my iMac and 7.0.3 in FCP.  I run into the same length restrictions running FCP 7 on a new MacBook Pro.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

    I've never worked with clips that long but have noticed a problem skimming longer clips in Log + Transfer to set in / out markers.
    My advice would be to use Clipwrap. You can either re-wrap the file or transcode it to PR.
    Their gig is file conversion so if there's a problem they'll eventually fix it.
    Hope that helps.

    For Cs 5, please use the latest version of Camera raw. Cannon 5D Mark III is supported on Camera raw 6.7. Update the software or download install the camera raw 6.7 from the Adobe Website.
    Lightroom 4, please wait for the next update of camera raw for the support of Cannon 5D Mark III. You may try using the beta version of Camera raw 7.1 available on Adobe labs.

  • FCP 7 crashes when Log & Transfer MXF files

    I just got a new MacBook Pro and Final Cut Studio that includes FCP 7.
    I just received footage from my DP shot on a Panasonic HVX200 on P2 Cards and saved as MXF files. I saved all files onto my MacBook with a backup on an external USB drive (another set was saved on a Firewire 800 drive).
    All footage was shot 720p/24fps.
    I can view the files on the Log & Transfer preview window - but when I attempt to ingest via Log & Transfer, the transfer begins but suddenly stops (status is idle) and the red ! stop sign appears - obviously the file was not ingested. When I attempt to re-start the transfer or try with another file, FCP crashes.
    My understanding is FCP 7 is able to accept native P2 format files (MXF) without transcoding - so it is very disappointing this is not working.
    Easy Setup settings are:
    Format: Panasonic DVCPRO HD
    Use: DVCPRO HD 720p/24
    Portion of error log:
    Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x00000000ffffffff
    Crashed Thread: 0
    I would greatly appreciate any insight!

    It doesn't transcode...it wraps the MXF files into a QT wrapper, joining audio and video. DVCPRO HD P2 mainly. AVCintra native support is here too, but you need to render to ProRes.
    BUT...that isn't the case here...try this:
    in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
