Can't importe MXF-File from Canon XF300, 4.2.2 codec

premiere pro 4.2.1 say the video is too big; doesn't CS4 support this codec???

sounds suspiciously like the prores 4.2.2. from panivision genesis..maybe close to hdcam hd...
some info on that stuff that might help determine custom settings, maybe conversion first without loss...etc..

Ingest
Once all footage has been shot, it must be transferred to a computer hard disk for
editing and converted into a format editable by Final Cut Pro. Although the XDCAM
HD camera records directly to digital files on the Professional Disc, the files are stored
in a special file type called MXF (Material Exchange Format).
In order to edit the files in Final Cut Pro, the data within the MXF files must be transferred
to QuickTime files. This translation does not damage or cause quality loss to the
video files. The MPEG HD data is simply unwrapped from the MXF file and rewrapped
in a QuickTime file.
One additional benefit of the XDCAM HD format is that low-resolution proxies of every
clip are automatically created and stored on the Professional Disc media. These proxies
allow you to quickly view the clips before importing the full-resolution data and
choose which clips to ingest and which to leave on the Professional Disc media. You
can even log different sections of the proxy clips (using In and Out points) to avoid
importing unwanted parts of the full-resolution HD files you may not need for editing.

ps...I imagine the camera manufacturer would have info available for editing this material , maybe free software for "capturing", conversions, etc

  • Can Final Cut Pro X import .mxf files from Canon XF105

    I have just bought new FCP X program,  and wanted to buy Canon XF105 - would FCPx can import .mxf - mpeg2 from Canon XF105 ?  Need your advice on this.

    Unfortunately I can't test it because, though I have some XF media, I can't find the Canon XF Utility on their web site. It comes on the disc with the camera I'm told, but I don't have a camera.

  • Media Encoder won't import MXF files from Canon XF100

    I'm running Media Encoder CC on two laptops: a macbook pro and a macbook air. Both systems are running the most recent version of Media Encoder CC (including updates) but only one will import MXF files from a Canon XF100? The macbook air imports and encodes the files without issue, however the macbook pro won't import the same MXF files and kicks the following error:
    The file /Users/.../.../.../AA0106.MXF could not be imported. Could not read from source. Please check the settings and try again.
    I could understand if both computers errored but using the same file, one will import and the other will not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Just try this and see if it will work for you.
    Open iPhoto > Preferences > General and deselect 'Connecting camera opens: iPhoto'.
    Change it to 'No Application' and close iPhoto.
    Now connect your camera to your computer and turn it on or better still use a card reader.
    If iMovie tries to open, close it.
    Your camera/card should now appear as an external drive.
    Copy/paste your video files into a new folder on your desktop.
    Eject and disconnect your camera/card.
    Now open iMovie and go File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

    iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

    I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
    I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
    I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
    I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

  • New Computer - Can't import raw files from Canon 1D mk 4

    I just bought a new Toshiba Qosmio laptop and have reinstalled PS CS5 and LR 3.2 64 bit.  LR says there are no other updates to install.  Trying to import raw files from CF reader but LR is not showing me the raw files on the import screen.  I have installed Camera Raw 6.2 plug in.  It's been a long night but I can't see why files aren't importing properly.  What am I missing?  All suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Mark,
    The ACR plugin is not needed for importing files with Lightroom. LR has it's own "ACR" built in. The ACR plugin is used when opening Raw files from Photoshop.
    Try copying the files from your card-reader to your hard drive using explorer/finder, and try importing from there. There have been quite a few reports where the card reader (and its connection) have lead to trouble while importing into LR.

  • How can I import mxf files from my Canon XF100?

    I downloaded software/plugins from Canon. Didn't help.

    Here is the plug-in you need.
    These files import easily into FCPX with this installed. (Don't pay for a converter.)
    Use a card reader. Import directly from the card or make a camera archive.
    Good luck.

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Rebel Xsi (450d)

    I have to use an Adobe Camera Raw program to convert to DNG files and then import into iPhoto 08'. Not sure if I like DNG file and if there is any loss from converting. JPGS work fine. Love the Camera, shoots great photos. Does anyone know if Apple or another program that will convert into a Raw format from the Canon that iPhoto will take? Or will I just have to wait for a driver? I can import directly into Photoshop CS3 just fine.

    That camera is so new that you're just going to have to wait for RAW support. Your option, in the meantime, is to use the Camera Raw conversion.

  • I can't import MXF files shot on a Canon C300 into FCP 10.1.2.  I have the Canon plug in for MXF file to FCP import but FCPX still doesn't recognize MXF files when I try to import. Premiere works fine importing MXF on the same computer.

    Russ and Luis,
    I did uninstall and re-install Canon XF Utility and the Canon FCPX plug in.   Still no luck.  I checked the CanonXF64.RADPlug folder is on my computer in the Rad Plugins folder in application support  This is where it is supposed to be as far as I can figure out. 
    Another piece of the puzzle is that  footage shot on a Canon C300 in 2013 and  I reimported today and it DOES import into FCP10.1.3.   Footage shot on a different Canon C300 filmed this summer will NOT import into FCPX.  The latter will import into Premiere. But I am trying to work in FCPX, but maybe I shouldn’t be??
    Any ideas?  (screen shots below)
    Thanks.
    Peace, Huey
    FYI Here is what Canon says
      "There is another trick that works sometimes though.  Try uninstalling the plugin and XF Utility.  Then, install the latest XF Utility, followed by the plugin, in that order."
    I did do this but no results.  Otherwise they say I need to wait for a new plugin.
    Here's 2014 Canon C300 files does NOT import to FCPX
    Here's 2013 Canon C300 files does import into FCPX.  I thought it was Contents folder but another set of footage shot on C300 does import and there is no contents folder for that. 

  • How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

    How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

    Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have  been in the latest update, 4.02.
    In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
    While I can't say for sure  Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.
    regards
    And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • I can not import 60p files from Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro X.

    I can not import 60p files from my Sony NEX-FS100U to Final Cut Pro 10.0.1.  Does Sony offer a plug in?

    I shoot fishing footage of big catches.  Slow motion playback appears to me to be much better when shot it 60p even compared to 60i.  It also blows away all of the other formats for a "still" grab.  Thank you for your help as I did a search and downloaded Clip Wrap which converted the files to .mov and they actually do import the full 60 frames.  Thank you again for your reply. 

  • How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

    How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
    I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
    Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation.  I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times.  All hard drive will eventually fail.  It's a question of when, not if.
    I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files.  You can try importing these directly into fcp.
    If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap
    http://www.divergentmedia.com/clipwrap
    or
    Magic Bullet Grinder
    http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
    But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy.  HDV is a problematic format.  Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

  • Cannot import video file from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11.

    Hi this is my first post on this site.
    I am having trouble trying to import video files from Canon Vixia hfs10 to imovie'11. The computer does not even recognize this camcorder. When I do a PC connection, iphoto comes up, but all it tells me to import are the pictures that I have taken.
    No matter what I do, I cannot find the folder for my camcorder in the device section in the finder.
    When I try to import it on imovie, I only get an option for facetime camera and not my vixia.
    Please help!

    Luis,
    Just to clarify one point…in order for Streamclip to convert the MTS I believe a plug-in like the AVCCAM QuickTime importer from Panasonic needs to be installed. (Credit David McClain over at the FCS boards for that info.)
