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!

How to import MTS files from Canon Vixia HF M40 to Mac for editing?

I recently bought a Canon Vixia HF M40 and I have been able to import the MTS video files to iMovie, but now that I want to edit in Adobe Premiere, I am at a loss. Can someone tell me an easy way to import these files to either my computer or into the program itself for editing. It is entirely too time consuming to import into iMovie and convert every single file to quicktime only to import into Premiere and export yet again (not to mention the quality loss). Thank you for any help you can give me.

How to import video files from Canon HG20 HD camcorder to iMovie 09?

Hi. I have no idea how to this. I have a Canon HG20 HD camcorder. It came with software that doesn't run on Mac. How do I import the videos I took in there into my iMovie? Do I need any special equipment? All I have now is the USB cable.
When I plug it in the computer sees it but the .MTS files cannot be clicked on and whenever I try to select a file and click "import" something bounces up and says it's not a camera archive.
Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide? I'm a confused newb here =)

There's no need to manually import files on a Canon AVCHD camera like that - iMovie should be able to connect and see them automatically.
Attach the camera, and set it to movie playback mode. Some cameras require that you connect them to power while you're transferring media. You may also have to choose "Connect to PC" on the camera menu itself.
Open iMovie (if it doesn't launch automatically). Click on the Camera Import icon to the middle-left of the window (or click cmd-i). YOu should get an Import window showing you the clips on the camera/card, which you can choose individually or import all.

Cannot Import .CRW Files from Canon S70

I have imported thousands of RAW format photographs from my Canon 20D (.CR2) and 1Ds (TIF); however, none of the .CRW files from my Canon S70 will import. There is nothing wrong with the files themselves, as I can open them in Photoshop CS2 and Bridge. Specifically, I am using the option to import a copy and convert to .DNG. I have not tried any of the other import options. Has anyone experienced this or know how to get past this stumbling block.

On a lark, I checked for updates in Adobe Bridge. It indicated that there was a RAW update available, so I installed it. Lo and behold, I was then able to import the .CRW files from my Canon S70.
Can anyone explain this? Since I had CS2 installed well before ever installing Lightroom, is it possible that the presence of the RAW libraries that were already installed with CS2, prevented the installation of the newer RAW libraries when I installed Lightroom 1.0? And even so, what would be different - I was able to manipulate .CRW raw files in Bridge and CS2 before installing the latest raw update.

CANNOT import RAW files from CANON 40D to Lightroom 1.2

My color setup in 40D is sRGB
my system is windows XP
but when I want to import files from my CF card
it will show the message: some import operation were not performed.
the files use an unsupported color mode.
pls tell me how to solve this problem~

Sorry for the above post. My daughter hit the keyboard. I am having the same trouble and I have tried shooting in Standard Raw and with the attached Jpg. I get a message that states it is a unsupported color format. Any ideas? It sounds like everyone else has got this to work but it simply will not work for me. I am running Vista if that makes a difference.

Cannot ingest .MTS files from Canon Vixia HF S200

I have an iMac, OS 10.6.8, Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I'm using FCE 4.0.1 and MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2. My camera's parameters are: video compression MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; 1080/60i frame rate; FXP (17Mbps) mode.
With the camera powered and plugged in (USB), when I select File>OpenFiles in Streamclip and select all ".MTS" files in the AVCHD>BDVM>STREAM folder I get the following message: "Unrecognized file type". If I choose download anyway and choose File>Export to QT, I get the following error message: "Can't read the frame size".
If I remove the SD card from the camera and download onto my 2TB HD and move one ".MTS" file into Stream clip, I get the following message: ""WARNING "00304.MTS" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media".
I also tried moving the entire BDVM folder (which includes a BACKUP folder [empty]; a CLIPINF folder; INDEX.BDM; MOVIEOBJ.BDM; PLAYLIST>00000.MPL; AND STREAM into Streamclip with the same results.
Simply put, I can't get Streaclip to recognize the camer's output. I can't figure out what's wrong. It would seem that what I'm trying to do should work, i.e., convert the camera output to AIC for input to FCE.

MtD,
It's my understanding that FCE 4.0.1 can only ingest DV or AIC using Log and Transfer. I thought that one had to use something like Streamclip when h.264 is involved by converting to AIC.
Also, among my many attempts, I'm pretty sure I tried Log and Transfer and received a similar message.
By reading other posts, I'm wondering if I'm trying this at the wrong layer, i.e., at first I accessed just the ".MTS" files, then I tried the STREAM folder. I wonder if I have to bring over the the whole BDVM folder, or possibly the whole AVCHD folder.
This is my first attempt to work with this camera. That's why I'm a bit screwed up. Previously, I used a Canon HV10 and downloaded into iMovie HD. Then, later versions of iMovie started giving me poor results so I bought FCE. At about the same time I broke my camera and bought the HF S200.

How to load SD files from Canon Vixia HF200 to Imovie or Final Cut???

I use a card reader and the finder shows a folder "PRIVATE" with several subfolders: AVCHD>BDMV>CLIPINF and Playlist and Stream. It appears that the clips are loaded under the Stream folder as files with .MTS extensions. These files are labeled as MPEG Transport Stream files.
My question is how I can transfer them to my hardrive so I can load them up and use them in Final Cut and/or Imovie?
Thanks for any Help!!!

Premiere Elements 12 Mac
A few more questions for now.
Taking your particular .avi files out of the equation, can you import any other format from Add Media/Files and Folders pointed to this external hard drive? What is the format of the external hard drive? NTFS or FAT32?
It is my recollection that AVCHD.avi has always been reported as highly problematic. Yet you seem to be saying that you have no problem importing them in to the project from the desktop with the program's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets to Expert workspace Timeline.
Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 12 from the Mac App Store or from Adobe? If Mac Store, what do you have Adobe Premiere Elements Editor or Adobe Premiere Elements Quick Editor or some variation thereof?
You wrote
A number of users are experiencing this issue - they connect their hard drive, load Elements, start a new project and go to add media (from the ext hard drive) using the files and folders option.
Could you supply more information on this via link(s) which have reported this issue.
Thanks.

Why can't I import video files from an external hard drive?

I am using Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 trying to import video files from a Lacie Rugged External Hard Drive using both firewire and usb, neither with any luck. The error message I receive is:
"You're trying to import a file from a DVD or a Removable Media. Please use Video Importer for importing Videos and Image Importer for importing images. "
We can't import through the video importer either because the hard drive doesn't show up. We can, however, drag the videos to the desktop and do it that way but we'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
Thanks
By the way, the external hard drive is formatted FAT32 if that matters

SG has already commented on this in his initial reply to you. I thought that the above might blend in to supplement what he has said.
I will watch for further developments in your troubleshooting with SG.

Importing files from Canon Vixia HF20 without power adaptor.

Hi There,
I recorded videos on my Canon Vixia HF20 and no longer have the power adaptor for the camera. Everytime I go to import the videos into Final Cut Express, the camera says 'connect to power adaptor'. Is there a way to get the files from the camera without purchasing a power adaptor?
Thanks for the help!
Mitch

I have an external battery charger that requires me to take the battery out of the camera. Something like this: http://www.canadatekk.com/battery-charger/canon/3811.htm
After searching and searching, I did just end up ordering one off Amazon. Hopefully it gets here before Christmas!
That being said, is there even a way to import videos without the power adaptor?!

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.
Z.
