CANON 5D MARK III TO FCP 7-WHY ARE THERE LINES IN MY VIDEO?

Hi there, so Ive just upgraded from the T2i to Canon 5D Mark III and this is the first time I'm importing footage to final cut. I have FCP 7 (Mac computer) and my video files are 1920x1080, h264 codec shot at 30 fps (29.97). Previously, when importing from the T2i, I used MPEG Streamclip to convert my video files to Apple Prores 422, and then import those compressed files into FCP 7, with field dominance being UPPER, pixels SQUARE. I never had an issue of quality loss or lines through my viewer and canvas using these settings. However, after attempting to do the same with my footage from the Mark III, I got lines through my footage. After researching a bit, I was convinced that the way to eliminate the problem was to download the 5DTORGB app for $50. This has not fixed my problem! Have tried multiple combinations of different field dominance settings and nothing is working. Is this an interlacing problem? I attempted to catch a screenshot but everytime I pause the video or take a shot, the lines do not show...I do not know what is going on! My original mov files are fine, it is only once I convert and import to final cut that they get these little lines... I am desperate for answers, please someone help!!!

You need to ask this on the Final Cut Studio forum.

Why are there lines going across the screen?

It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck!

HELP! CANON 5D MARK III TO FCP 7- WHAT IS CORRECT COMPRESSION? LINES THROUGH VIDEO-HELP!

Still no change....However, I did export a trial and the vid looks fine, no lines. I guess fcp is just being a little *****! It is just really frustrating me to have to work with these lines going through my clips, even if they do not appear in my exported file....I feel that there must be some hidden issue with my sequence settings....Could you possibly provide a screenshot of the appropriate sequence settings you would use to match a 1920x1080 file with 29.97 fps (already converted from h264 to apple prores 422 thru 5DTORGB) ? I know that usually it is fine to import the newly compressed prores files, and then set sequence to match clips, but since I'm having issues, maybe setting the sequence directly would help?
This is what my sequence settings look like right now, after being matched to my prores clip....
I am concerned because it shows Aspect ratio as HDTV 1080i (16:9) though you have told me my clips from the 5D should be progressive (so shouldnt it be 1080p not 1080i??) Being that there is not option in frame size for 1080p, i tried selecting the "Custom (16:9)" option, but it will not allow it...Just sets it back to 1080i......Any thoughts?

Why are there lines on my copies

When I make copies of clean originals, why am I getting double lines across my copies

Hey baedmonds,
You are getting lines on your copies because the thin strip of glass that scans the page has two spots on it.
Take a damp lint free cloth and wipe down the scanner glass under the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
You may have to rub the glass firmly to remove what may be dried ink dots on the glass.
Try copying blank pages again and they should come out clean.
You might also try scanning from the scan glass rather than the ADF and see if they still get lines.

You could check the settings for your monitor profile or use a system setting for sRGB. See if this link helps:

Why are there lines on my screen when i turn on my camera

i tried using my camera a couple days ago and when i used my normal camera it had lines and changes everything different colors i already tried resetting my ipod but nothing happened

- A reset. Nothing is lost
- Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
Error message that it does not support cr. file

Which version of Lightroom?
As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

Why is it suddenly impossible to import raw files from my canon 1ds mark III? I work with a mac 5. Nothing has been changed in the settings...

I've been working for 2 years with Lightroom and importing pictures from my canon 1ds mark III
Suddenly it doesn't work. Can somebody explain this or help me to change something
so I can import my photos???

As DJ suggests, that's probably not the exact wording. Can we have that, please?
Still need your OS and Lightroom version too.

Canon 5D Mark III Standard Profile - why so different?

Generally the camera specific profiles in Camera Raw and Lightroom do a pretty good job giving the manufacturer's original look. Especially those for Canon DSLRs are very close.
With one exception: the Standard Profile for the Canon 5D Mark III sticks out. The LR profile is way more reddish that Canon's own Standard Picture Style.
I wonder ... is there a certain reason for that?

It could be a variance in your camera. Go to the calibration section and adjust the colors and then save new camera defaults.

I have CS4 and was using a Canon 5D Mark II with raw photos. I just got the Canon 5D Mark III and CS4 now can not read the raw photos. It has raw version 5.7.0.213 and CS4 version 11.0.2. Can anyone help?

So the CS4 will never be able to open Raw 5D Mark III files.

Canon 5D Mark III support in CS6 PLEASE!

I own Lightroom but prefer Bridge/Camera Raw for small projects. Would love to see an update to support Canon 5D Mark III in Camera Raw! Thank You.

Confusing? You bet!
Just a bit worrisome, too... One would expect a suite of products should be managed and coordinated as a cohesive unit - no matter how big the company, no matter what the history. But what motivates an organization to release one part early, before related software is ready? Then we see updates of that early release come out as beta versions (RCs) several times, so maybe it wasn't really ready... A Marketing experiment?
Whatever happened to just continuing to work on software until it is ready, with commercial quality? Set the engineers to optimizing the parts of it that are already feature-complete. They love doing that! Too much pressure from management to get early sales? Why? Is Adobe afraid of losing market share (to ???) so that they now push to release beta quality software early and in a disjointed way?
I have to say, some parts of Adobe's recent strategy - the public beta of Photoshop CS6, for example - seem very good indeed. Folks are happy to test software clearly marked as "beta" and which doesn't cost them, and you get the added benefit of them really wanting the release when it comes out. We can only hope the released Photoshop product is solid and bug-free as a result of sending the beta out to everyone.
Contrast that to releasing LR apparently too early, taking peoples' money, and having them essentially be paying beta testers. The best Adobe can hope for is that people feel they got their money's worth. The worst? The appearance of lack of quality and lack of coordination.
I don't mean to step on any toes here (and I apologize if I have)... I'm just providing one person's honest assessment of what things look like.

Canon 5D Mark iii dropped frames

I have had dropped frame issues with my Canon 5D Mark iii on playback in the camera. I just bougth it so I sent it back and the second one was doing the same thing not as bad. I tried 4 different SD card all 32 gb 44 MB/s. For the third camera I will be getting I bought a 32 gb SD card and 95 MB/s to see if that makes a difference. I called Cannon to sk them what the problem could be and they said it could be the card or it could be the 24-105 mm lens IS and try shotting the video witht he IS off and then on. I was also told there is no way it could be the lens it's either the cameras or the card. I am getting really frustrated as to why this keeps happening. I am also shooting in 24 fps and 30 fps. The last camera was dropping frames and overheating and the joystick was difficult to use and only worked every so often. Has anyone else had any of these issues?

Hi WC!
Thanks for posting on the forum.
It is very likely that the issue is with the cards you have tried and not the camera.
You mentioned that you were going to try a faster card.
Were you able to do so yet?
If so, how did the faster card perform?
Do you experience the same issue when recording to a high-speed CF card instead of an SD card?

Premiere hangs randomly when loading media from Canon 5D Mark III

Premiere 5.5.0 hangs when loading media. When I drag like 20 files from explorer to Premiere, it loads some files, but at a random point it stops loading and freezes. I loaded every file manually by using ctrl-I within Premiere and saving regularly. After loading a random number of files (anywhere between 1 and 7) it freezes. I managed to get all the files into the project. Now when I try to open the project, it freezes randomly while loading the media. I copied the project and when I open the new one, it opens normal and asks where the media is. When I locate it... same problem, anywhere during loading it might freeze. When I cancel it, I can manually link every media file back, with the random risk of freezing.
I reinstalled Quicktime without any improvement.
I reinstalled Premiere without improvement.
In old projects sometimes random media-files are not linked. Sometimes I can link them succefully. Sometimes it freezes when I try to link them.
As far as I can tell this only happens to .mov files and not other types of media-files.
Sometimes when I have been working on a project succesfully, Premiere still freezes when I close it.
UPDATE
I found out that this only concerned movies from my Canon 5d Mark III. I searched if other people had the same problem and found this thread: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/923736
The solution is to rename the extensions from .mov into .mpg.
This solves the issue...

Does somebody else has this problem?
Yup: I heard about it just today, in fact. An FCP user was trying to get Cinema Tools to conform 24fps footage from a Mk II and Mk III to 25. No problems with the Mk II footage, but no luck with the Mk III footage.
Now, it could be just coincidence. But if you don't believe in coincidence, you might think that there's something screwy with Canon's new codecs for the Mk III. "Screwy" is a highly technical term, by the way.
