Cannot capture dv footage from canon ax h1 on final cut pro

hi there,
i shot a wedding over the summer on a canon ax h1, which belonged to the bride and i didn't have much experience with it. i shot the whole wedding, and now when i went to capture the footage the audio and video are not showing up.
there is timecode there, and i was definetely shooting to the tape when i recorded the wedding as the camera told me how much time was left on the tape and displayed the timecode. if anybody has any ideas on what this problem could be, please let me know, thanks alot.

Hi ..
Have a look at this .. I had the same problem ..

  • 1080p30 .mov files from canon eos 5DMarkII in Final cut express 4.0.1

    Hi everybody.
    i need some help to import HD vidéo .mov files from Canon Eos 5DMarkII in final cut express.
    The files is in 1080p30 (h264) like avchd but in the final cut configuration i have only 50i and 60i option in HDV and AVCHD
    Final cut necessity to do a render (5h for 15min on my G5) and the movement quality is not the same.
    Anybody have a idea to import Progressive files in final cut ?
    maybe they have an update with new avchd 1080p codec in configuration ?
    or i need final cut pro...?
    Thanks in advance
    and sorry for my english...i'm french

    There is no good solution for working with this camera in FCE. It's 30fps progressive. There is no true video format that is 30fps. This is something Canon was cobbled together for this stills camera.
    You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the material to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec at 1920x1080. I think that's what it shoot. You should check the camera manual to confirm it shoots 1920 and not 1440.
    The problem is the frame rate. You can convert it to 29.97fps or to 25fps. 25fps conforms to the European frame rate, but I don't know how well Streamclip will do this conversion. You also need to make sure the material is not interlaced by Streamclip.
    The other problem is that FCE handles 1080 as an interlaced format, because for production it's supposed to be an interlaced format, at least in the formats, HDV and AVCHD, that FCE works with. You can set your sequence properties to have no field dominance, which should prevent it interlacing during compositing of any effects.

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    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.

  • Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

    Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

    The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
    So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
    If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
    Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

  • 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. 

  • Copying a video from Youtube to use in Final Cut Pro

    I have an old final cut pro that I us for charities and non-profits I think it is version 5.1.7.  I have never had the money to upgrade and now I do not have any disk or material for the program, only what is on my system.  Now the question.  I have a charity that has ask me to pull a video off of Youtube that they cannot find the original.  What is the best way to copy the video from Youtube and download it to my desktop and get the best quality to use in final cut pro.  Thanks for your help.

    Just use OSX:
    Command - Shift - 3 will take a full screen snapshot
    Command - Shift - 4 will let you draw a rectangle around the portion of screen you want to copy
    Command - Control - Shift - 3 will copy the full screen to the clipboard (to be pasted in another app)
    Command - Control - Shift - 4 will copy a selectable portion of the screen to the clipboard
    Preview is set up to receive clipboard images — just select New from Clipboard from the File menu (or command - N). You can then export in a variety of formats.
    Most browsers let you right click on an image and select Save Image As... to any location on your hard drive.

  • 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.

  • Can I import projects from the full version of Final Cut Pro X from when I was using the trial version?

    So I recently purchased the full edition of Final Cut Pro X, and was wondering why one of the projects I was working on at the time it expired imported back into FCP without asking me, but the other did not.  I really need to use this file, but it is in the format of .fcpproject, so I really don't understand why I am not able to use it.  It sometimes says when I try to open it that the version of that project was made in an updated version of FCP, or something to that affect, so it cannot be used.  I have no idea why it says this, because as far as I know that is un-true.  Any ideas?
    Edit:  I also don't want to delete the trial yet, a little apprehensive, like maybe I need it.  But I might if it comes to that.  I suppose the time did run out so it is practically worth nothing...

    You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

  • How do I continue editing a project from the trial version of final cut pro to the paid version

    I have been working on a project on the trial version of final cut pro x.  I  bought the full version even though my trial wasn't up yet.  When I opened the paid version my projects from the trial are not in there.  I also closed the trial and opening the paid version and my projects were still not there.  How do I get my projects to show in the paid version?

         I have a 'similar' problem, but your advice above does not work (or does not seem to work).  My Trail version of Final Cut Pro 10.1.1 expired before I completed my first/only movie project. 
         I purchased FCP yesterday.  Now I want to "import" the video files and the movie project (not sure if that's the correct terminology - I am still a newbie) into FCP 10.1.1 -  Please advise?

    How do you convert movies from a Flip video camera for use in final cut pro?

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    VisualHub (23.32$)
    Drop2DV (free)
    Cinematize >60$
    Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • Transfer from trial to purchased version final cut pro

    aloha!
    i got the final cut pro trial version... and started some projects in there.
    now i purchased final cut pro.
    how do i get my projects and clips to final cut pro purchased version?
    help!

    Hi Kristinkshui,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I’m happy to hear that you liked the Final Cut Pro X software enough to purchase the full version.   You will be amazed at all of the things you can do with this creative software!
    The full Final Cut Pro X application will recognize the Libraries (and the projects and clips contained in them) that you created with the Trial Version.  By default, these libraries are in the Movies folder in your User Account on your Mac, unless you chose an external hard drive to store this data.  So, all you should have to do is launch the new Final Cut Pro X application and you should be able to pick up exactly where you left off.   Once everything is working with your purchased software, quit Final Cut Pro X, and delete the FCPX Trial by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
    The video below will provide a quick overview of what Final Cut Pro X can do:

  • Optimal export from Canon Vixia HV30 via Final Cut Express for Blip.tv

    I am looking to optimize the export of my videos from Final Cut Express (4.0.1). I shoot HD Widescreen on a Canon Vixia HV30. I've been having problems getting good quality in a smallish package.
    For some reason, the videos come off the camera at the odd ratio of 496 x 279. This means I have to export them that size, but the final product ends up being huge. Literally, the screen is larger than the computer screen, and I have to view it on half size. I feel I could get more bang for my buck if these videos could be exported smaller initially.
    Here are my settings for export (as Quicktime Movie with Quicktime conversion):
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Encoding: Multi-pass
    The only tweak I make is to set the kbits/sec to between 3000 and 3500, which gets me a decent looking video that's about two minutes long and between 40 and 70MB.
    If I try to tweak the ratio or the format, the picture gets squeezed or the quality drops significantly. I've also been running into the problem of skipping playback on Blip.tv, which recently switched to a new version of Flash.
    Any help on how to shrink the video and keep the quality?
    Regards,
    Philip
