Canon 5d Mark ii not logging any footage

Howdy-
I have a Canon 5d Mark ii using FCP7. I always use the Log and Transfer plugin (The E1 that you obtain from Canon's website) to import footage, however when I went to use it the other day, and I clicked it, it did not read any files like it normally should. I click the external card that it is located on and nothing happens. Please help! I have a large project due soon! Thanks!

Reading at your first post it sounds like you are logging and transferring direct from the card in the camera. If so, whilst it can be done, this is wrong. You need to make a copy of the entire contents to a hard drive on or connect to your computer.
From the message you are getting you don't have all the data needed for log and transfer to import, its some how corrupted, or do you have still images on the card as well? Sometimes this causes a problem.

Premiere Pro does not import any footage

Premiere Pro CS6 imports footage to the media browser, but with the image jumbled up. This happens regardless of format/codecs. Audio (including from footage) imports normally.

Ask in the Premiere forum. Sounds liek eitehr your graphics hardware acceleration is not working properly or you made a mess with your CoDecs. You need to provide exact technical info liek system specs and what footage you work with in any case.

Images from Canon 5D Mark III not appearing super sharp in Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom 4

I have a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina Display and am running CS6, shooting with a Mark III in full resolution raw format. Focus is on in camera but when I open the images in Photoshop, they do not appear super sharp when zoomed in. Is this a display issue or a program issue or something else? In the past I can usually get the images so sharp that I can see every pore and hair.

I would try in other programs and see what they look like. Since it is same camera and PS, they should be as sharp as before. Maybe the screen, as it is the variable here?

Canon 7d mark ii gps data not recognized in lightroom 5.7

How do I get lightroom to find and use my gps meta data from my new Canon 7d mark ii. I can see that there is a file generated on the card but it isn't in my meta data when downloaded on to Lightroom. I am using a MAC user. When using my old Pentax system with geo tagging to came across automatically in older versions of Lightroom so I know it should be seamless.

Once the GPS indicator is solid the camera should be embedded the GPS data in the photos. There is no need to offload the GPX track log and have LR use that. If that's what you're doing, maybe LR does have a problem reading the Canon 7D Mark II GPX log file, but there's no need, just let LR import the photos with the coordinates stored in the photo files.
Otherwise, are you using some software (including LR) to transfer the photos from the camera or card, that could be stripping out the GPS data? I use Windows Explorer (like Mac Finder) to copy my photos so nothing is stripping anything out of them.
Have you examined the photos with any other software to see if there are coordinates? On Windows I'd use GeoSetter. I don't know what the Mac has.
If you want someone to test, can you upload a raw file that was shot when the GPS indicator was on but not blinking, directly from the card to somewhere like http://www.dropbox.com/ and post a public download/share link to it, here?

I have CS6 10.0.6 x64 extended on Mac 10.6.8 and Canon 5D mark 111. I can not get CS6 to read my raw files. No new updates available. Any ideas guys?

If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-in and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it list?
I suspect you still have Camera Raw 7.0
When you go to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6, it says nothing available?

Canon 5D Mark II Footage and Final Cut 5

I recently received some footage shot with a Canon 5D Mark II that I will be needing to edit. It seems as though the ideal codec to use is ProRes but unfortunately I am working with Final Cut 5 and this is not an option. I was told that I could use Apple Intermediate Codec but that I would need to adjust the project settings to 1080/30 fps not interlaced. Can someone please confirm this and tell me how I can make those adjustments to my project settings. Also, will the clips require rendering when i place them on my timeline. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, you did mention the AIC.
Frame size-1920x1080
P.A.R. - square
Field Dominance - None
Editing Timebase - same as your source clips. Check that in the Browser or in MPEG Streamclip. If you left it at 30 in Streamclip, stay with 30. If you changed it to 29.97 in Streamclip, make your sequence 29.97 also. If you bring in titles, make sure the clips are set to Field Dominance of None. I find that Final Cut wants to assume all 1080 is interlaced so it sets FD to Upper.

Exporting Canon 5D Mark ii footage..

I'm fairly new to final cut, im running a Mac Pro, 2 X 3 Ghz processor, 10GB memory, 10.6.2 snow leopard... and i still find myself having to render at every edit in the timeline, and now im having trouble figuring out how to export correctly to get the highest possible quality on youtube and/or vimeo
here's what i have done and researched so far:
i took my original canon 5d footage into MPEG streamclip and converted the files into Apple ProRes 422 (LT) at 30fp, i then created a custom setup in final cut 7 with the following presets:
SEQUENCE PRESET: Canon 5D Mark ii footage (duplicated an Apple ProRes 422 (LT) 1920X1080 30p 44.1ghz audio)
CAPTURE PRESET: DVCPRO HD 1080p30 48kHz (i won't be capturing in fcp since i've been using MPEG streamclip
DEVICE CONTROL PRESET: FIREWIRE NTSC
VIDEO PLAYBACK: (sometimes i have this set at Digital Cinema Desktop Preview - Full Screen so that i can take advantage of my other monitor, but it tends to drop frames faster in playback, so i usually have it set to "none")
AUDIO PLAYBACK: Default
now my question is, how do i correctly export this? i tried a couple different ways, some had skipped frames... others the audio was off... another setting made the colors way too contrasty after exporting...
also how can i solve this "rendering" issue... did i make a mistake in the beginning in setting up the timeline (btw , the sequence matches the same settings as the footage... ) i'm also playing back at "safe RT, medium quality, half frame rate..." not sure if that matters..
so yeah, my two main questions are, correct export for this file, and any help with render issues?
thank you..

oops.sorry...
here is a link to what i uploaded using Quicktime X directly to youtube..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3q19YDSdWE
it doesn't look as good as i think it could...and it has a HQ option instead of HD? i don't have quicktime pro so i couldn't export with exact settings, just directly to youtube... how can i export w/ final cut .. when i export using quicktime conversion and using Apple Pro Res, it ends up being a 1.34gb file and its only 1 minute... would i then need to compress it?
and yes i need to get rid of all the layers i have in the timeline.. maybe that might help but it was giving me the rendering "RED" color even in the beginning when i had 1 layer..
i changed audio to 44.1 because i read it somewhere online i believe it was under phillip bloom.. suggesting to change from 48 to 44.1 for all canon 5d footage.. ? im not sure why though..

Working with footage from Canon 5D Mark ii

Hi
I have recently started working with video taken on a Canon 5D Mark ii.
Should I always convert all my footage into Apple Pro Res 422 (HQ) when I want to edit HD 1920x1080 footage?
Also I have just finished a project not knowing that this might have to be done, and when I added colour correction the exported quick time conversion looked terrible.
Is there any way to save this edit, or should I just convert the origional footage and start again?!
Thanks

This is a topic that gets discussed a lot, and i'm curious if anyone has any more insight into it. From what i understand, ProRes HQ is 10-bit codec, while normal ProRes is 8-bit. The footage coming off of your h.264 camera is in 8-bit space, so if you encode it to 10-bit, you're just getting filling in a bunch of extra space. it's like building a 3-car garage for your motorcycle.
One of the reasons the files get so much larger going from H.264 to APR is that H.264 is an inter-frame codec, meaning that it uses information from more than one frame and evaluates the changes from frame to frame to calculate what any individual frame should look like. This means you don't need to store as much raw data for each frame, but it's more processing intensive to calculate the image from what's there. Final cut doesn't like to do this kind of calculation, at least in its current incarnation. So you convert it to APR 422, which is an Intra-frame codec, which stores all of the information for each frame individually in one place, even if it's a relatively unchanging shot. this means a lot more raw data, but it also means final cut can just look in one place for each frame and not have to figure out how to build it out of the surrounding frames. larger files, but easier on the program.
premiere is supposedly kicking *** right now with dealing with this kind of stuff. and they are integrating h.264 specific chipsets in some of the newer computers, so it may become less of an issue in the future. from what i understand anyway.
anyway. if anyone has any other shades of clarification about what's going on with the technical sides of that stuff, i'm trying to get more clear myself.

Can Premiere Pro smart render footage from a Canon 5D mark III ?

I already read that Premiere Pro can smart render certain codecs. But I want to know exactly: Can it smart render the video from a Canon 5D mark III?
In case smart render is not very specific: I'm asking if it can export the footage after cutting without rencoding it by just saving the individual frames into a new video container with the same codec. This should increase export time alot.
I'm asking because I have Premiere Elements and this feature would be the only reason for me to switch to Pro. I currently need 40 Minutes to render 10 Minutes. As a journalist I need to be faster.

Do you have any other tips how to boost export speed? I don't need the video to be small. I only do a raw edit where I cut out the junk. Quality loss should be minimal and speed ist most important.
Its hard to know if your export speed is normal or otherwise without some detail from you for comparison.
Hardware, system, OS and current export settings and times etc..
Generally the system and set up will determine the speed and editing experience.
5D footage should be no problem at all to a decent system ( and setup)
If you do a test export for us...tell us how long the export takes for how much footage . eg 1 minute footage = X export time.

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark Ii

My audio files no longer sync to the in the 5d in camera audio. It did when I bought the program but no longer does I reinstalled and it still will not sync the files recorded on the H4N with the Canon 5D Mark II Camera.
The program used to import and transcode the Can 5D footage but no longer does. The program freezes often and looses my projects as well. Hard to make a living when your editing program is on strike!

Camera Raw 7 does not recognize Canon 5D Mark III RAW files

Hello,
I have Adobe Creative Cloud installed and I use Adobe Photoshop CS6 with Camera Raw 7. Photoshop nur Bridge CS6 do not recognize the RAW files from the Canon 5D Mark III, though it says on the Adobe support site that the camera is supported since Camera Raw 6.7
When I try to open the .cr2-File I get the message "Photoshop cannot open the file".
I use Win7 (64 Bit).
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hi Robert,
Its a known issue as the PS CS 6 was launched with ACR 7 however the support in Photoshop CS 6 would come with ACR 7.1 update which will be live soon.
You are completely right in saying that Canon 5D Mark III was supported in ACR 6.7 but it was only intended for >PS CS 5 & 5.1.
In the meanwhile if you want you can download the RC version of ACR 7.1 from labs.adobe.com.
Thanks

Not able to open raw files from my CAnon 5D mark III in PS CS6!

I have camera raw 8.6 installed and am running photoshop cs 6.0. All of a suddened photoshop will not open raw pictures that were shot on a CAnon 5D mark III. Any ideas on what could be the problem. The pictures do open in light room.
Thanks
Bruce

What exactly happens when you try to open raw files from Canon 5D Mark III in PS CS6. Do you get any error message? An error screenshot would help.
Make sure your PS CS6 is up-to-date from Help > Updates.
Restart the machine and retry.

Canon 5D Mark III -- Lightroom 4.1 - Edit in Adobe Photoshop not working

Hello, I appoligize if this has already been answered, I couldn't find a solution. I have the new Canon 5D Mark III, and I updated to Lightroom 4.1 so I can import the 5D3 RAW image into LR. But when I go to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5" or "Merge to HDR Pro in PhotoShop", PS starts, but it doesn't load any files. I was assuming this is because the PS Camera Raw is out of date. So I downloaded the cameraraw6-7_r1_win_030612, but when try to install it, I get "Some updates failed to install. Update is not applicable".
What am I missing here?

Hi Tim,
Please refer to the link below which says:
Set the camera to Print/PTP. Images don't import when the camera is set to PC Connect.

Better playback of Canon 5D Mark 2 footage in 4.1?

Hi,
since the update installations gives me errors all the time (my post here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/439764?tstart=0 ), I can't verify this myself:
The readme of the PPro update say, that h.264 playback/handling is improved. So I was wondering, if the playback of native Canon 5D mark 2 files falls into this section also.
I'm not talking about proxies or cineform's neo etc. I mean the raw quicktime footage from the camera...native...
Since Canon annaunced yesterday that FULL MANUAL control (aperture, ISO, shutter) will be availible on june 2nd, this is pretty much the last (and 25p support in the cam) hurdle for editing the 5DII footage.
Please let us know!

I would try it out right away, but I'm not able to update my Production Premium for about 4 hours now. Well, I can download it, but the instalation quits with 3 errors. I made an extra post about it, but so far nobody seems to have the same issue.
I read that somebody had some other issues with instalation, so maybe the uploded files aren't that "perfect" because adobe wanted it up by the end of may (like they said the would
I've seen a few comments on installation errors already. Hope that that gets solved. It would be tough finally getting the long-awaited 4.1, only to find that it would not install, and may even mess things up. Fingers X'ed here. I also hope that Adobe was 100% satisfied with their efforts, and there was no Midnight-coding, as it was headed out the door.
As for the footage from the Canon - I've only heard great things about it. Some of the after-market folk have already gotten on the bandwagon with all sorts of add-ons for it on the video side. There were a couple of interesting ads in last month's American Cinematographer. Apparently some companies feel that there will definitely be a market for "stuff" to use this camera and its lenses for doing some serious video work. Time will tell. Though I'm a Nikon-guy* on the still-side of life, this Canon does look sweet. Hope that 4.1 is all that users could ask for. Again, the fingers are X'ed.
Good luck,
Hunt
* since my wife went digital, all of her point-n-shoot still cameras have been Canon. Now, I do not store these in the same room with my Nikons, but I do like their choices better than what Nikon offers.
