Canon 5D video blurry

My new 5d has allowed me to take some amazing pictures and have no regrets especially with the 70/200 2.8 lens, no issues there but video is another deal all together.
Shot latest video on Auto, 1920/30/ALLI posted to Facebook (Bad I know) and shot comes out blurry, worked fine on my computer but blurry when posted, is this a FB issue? Will it do the same with You Tube?
My canon HD Vixia has worked so well for me I am tempted to stay with that for video. 
Thanks in advance for all inputs, fire away...

Hi Captdanno!
Thanks for the post.
When you upload a video to Facebook, it sometimes re-encodes the video to match their format requirements.  The format of the video from the EOS 5D Mark III is different from your camcorder, so the end result is bound to be different as well.  This is something native to Facebook and does not indicate a problem with the camera.  A similar process may occur with other websites, but this is something you will need to check with those websites to verify.

  • I want to use my macBook Pro 2,2 (mid 2007) to display video being fed from a Canon 5D video out into the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.  Is it possible to input live video from another digital camera into the MacBookPro

    I know that the built in iSight camera records video.  I want to set up a Canon 5D video camera and feed the Canon's video output into the MacBook Pro so that I can use the vectorscope in Final Cut Pro to adjust the exposure of the Canon 5D.  Basically I don't want to buy a vectorscope to have on set to make sure the picture is properly exposed and color balance is correct. (In your response it doesn't have to be the full scenario I've described.  If you can just tell me if there's a way to feed live video into the MacBook and display it on the screen and possibly record it, then I'll figure out the rest.)

    Dear Ben,
    Thanks for your help. Apple and I dealt with this. It was an FCP, NOT Motion problem. As It seems you understand, we simply trashed my FCP prefs. Problem went right away.
    Thanks. Do you live near Hammond? Played in a rugby tournment down there once. I was transformed.

  • Ichat 2.1 and canon digital video camera problems

    i have ichat 2.1 running on my b/w g3 with a 900 mhz powerlogix zif upgrade...
    i recently got my hands on a cool little program called ichat usbcam...
    before i got that app, ichat would not recognize my canon digital video camera via firewire...now that i got ichat usbcam, it shows up and i can use the digital video camera...
    however, i can't invite my brother to a one way video chat...when i invite him, his end shows up with a white screen...no video, but audio...
    he has a g4 quicksilver...he is running tiger...we both use the aim account for ichat...
    any ideas??? we really need some help on this because we both have 4 year old daughters who want to video chat...
    he is going to get a camera if we can get this thing working...

    Hi Seusman,
    Sounds like you have cracked it.
    Framerates are detemined by what processor you have, with some adjustment on a chat by chat basis depending what the other person can manage.
    The Bitrate is controlled by what Connection Speed you have, The System Preference > Quicktime > Streaming tab setting and iChat > Preferences > Video section Bandwidth Setting, plus any adjustments to match who you are talking to.
    The up speed is more important than the Download speed when we are talking ADSL connections.
    Any spped test will tell you get about 80% of what the ISP says they sell you.
    iChat will use about 80% of what is left (depending on settings)
    It is somewhat lowered depending on the framerate your Mac can do and what other things yuo are asking the Procesor to do and how much RAM you have obviously can effect that as well.
    The framerates you quote are the same as mine.
    The bit rates if often what I see in iChat based on my 1Mb down /256K up service.

  • Canon Gl2 Video Camera Not Recognized with Firewire 800 Connection

    I have a late 2010 mac with 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 Processor with 12GB DDR3 running 10.8.2 OSX.  I have a Canon GL2 video camcorder with a MiniDV tape I am trying to download to my computer.  I am using a new 4pin to 9pin Rocketfish Firewire 800 cable. My computer is not recognizing the firewire input from the GL2.  As suggested with other support threads, I have tried to turn the mac and computer off and on, as well as check to see if the cable is working.  I have also tried both a trial version of Final Cut, and Imovie 09 which is loaded on my Mac, neither of which will recognize the camera.  I clicked on the System Information icon and looked at the Firewire 800 status which was:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: Unable to list FireWire devices.
    Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec
    At least I know it recognized something.  I have also checked to make sure the Canon is set to DV-Out on the Menu.  Since I am unable to use a USB connector with MiniDV, would there be any other way to either A) Download the video to the computer, or B) get the Mac to recognize the source plugged into the Firewire?   Any help with this would be excellent.

    I believe that in order to be recognized, you have to start the process from within iMovie of Final Cut; as for your FW port, you can try these two different troubleshooting steps (may or may not work, but won't hurt):
    Reset SMC:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    PRAM:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    It may that your FW port is defective; it that turns out to be the problem, I hope you purchased Applecare because those ports are an integral part of the logic board, so that would have to be replaced ($$$).
    Since your footage is on DV tapes, you do need the FW to transfer it or it will not work. One other (involved) way would be to transfer your footage to a DVD if you have a DVD recorder and then get it on the Mac from there.

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • Elements 9 Freezes on Adding Canon DSLR video files

    I just purchased Premiere Elements 9 to edit my Canon T2i video files.  When I try to add the video files by going to Get Media - From File, the progress bar pops up and goes away quickly like it is finished processing the addition to my organizer, but the video file never shows up.  If I go to Filter By and select the project I am working on to only show the project files, I get the Windows thinking icon and that is all the further I can get Elements to go.  After 1/2 hour or so I close elements.  When I open the project file back up, the video I tried to add earlier shows up.  I don't think I should have to kill the program and reopen it everytime I try to add a video file to the project.  What gives?  My computer is a Core i5 M430 with 4gb of ram on Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

    Got a response from Adobe support and this is what they suggested:
    "Solution 1: Update to Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    Do one of the following:
    * Launch Adobe Premiere Elements 8 and choose Help > Updates.
    * Download and install updates from the below mentioned link.
    ( http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4930 )
    Solution 2: Update the graphic card driver.
    Many video card manufacturers frequently update their software drivers. If you haven't recently updated the video card driver, contact the video card manufacturer for an updated driver, or download one from the manufacturer's website.
    Solution 3: Update quick time player.
    Open Quicktime player> click help menu > click update.
    Solution 4: Re-create the preferences files.
    Re-create the Adobe application preferences file to eliminate problems caused by a damaged preferences file. For specific instructions, search the application Help system for "restore preferences" or "re-create preferences." .
    Mac Hard disk > Users > username > Library > application support > adobe.photoshop.com.plist
    (please remove the adobe.photoshop.com.plist file from this location and relaunch the application and kindly make sure the application is closed before your perform this step)
    Solution 5 : Install or run the Adobe application from within a new user account.
    Occasionally, a user account can become corrupted and prevent the installer from accessing or creating the necessary files and folders. Create an account, log in to the new account, and then try to install or run the Adobe application. For information on creating a user account, see "Creating a new user account" in the Mac OS X Help.
    Solution 6: Remove third-party plug-ins.
    Applies to Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Premiere Elements, After Effects, Bridge, Fireworks, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Photoshop Lightroom.
    Remove third-party plug-ins from the application plug-ins folder, and restart the application. If the problem recurs, move the plug-ins back to the application plug-ins folder. If the problem doesn't recur, identify conflicting plug-ins.
    To identify conflicting plug-ins:
    1. Move one third-party plug-in back to the application plug-ins folder.
    2. Restart the application, and try to re-create the problem.
    3. If the problem doesn't recur, repeat step 1. If the problem does recur, contact the developer of the plug-in that you last moved, and inquire about an update.
    Solution 7. Run the application while no other applications are running.
    To maximize available RAM and reduce the chance that another application conflicts with the Adobe application, quit open applications (including virus-protection utilities). Then restart the Adobe application. If applications don't quit as expected, force quit them by choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu.
    Note: Don't force quit the Finder, which is the core Mac OS component.
    Solution 8: Install or run the application with the Login Items disabled.
    To disable nonessential extensions located in the user accounts Login Items folder, press Shift while you restart the computer. Pressing Shift disables any applications that are in the Login Items folder.
    This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue."
    Nothing helped until I installed PRE9 under a different login.  I appears my install must have been bad from the start.  I had originally downloaded the trial and then used the key from the DVD copy I bought to convert it to a licensed version.  I'm thinking something went wrong in that whole deal, should've just reinstalled from the DVD when I got it.  Oh well, all seems well now and I can finally get some editing done!  It actually seems to work smoother than Vegas 9 did.  Could probably use a bit more RAM though.  I only have 4GB.  I know PRE9 can only use 4gb, but windows 7 and background stuff uses over 1GB when the computer is idle, so 8GB might give PRE9 a bit more headroom.

    Sounds like a problem between your external DVD player & your TV.  Start w/the basic & easiest.  Use a drive cleaner on your external DVD player.

  • Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?

    Which project settings for project for Canon Powershot Video Editing?
    I want to edit video taken with a Canon Powershot SD 550 taken in NTSC 640 x 480. When I start a new project, which project settings should I be using? Also when exporting the project to view on a computer should I stick with the AVI or will MPEG or another universal format give me better end quality?

    Hunt,
    This user has two thread topics here that are identical to ones at the forum which I frequent. Early on I  downloaded video from the Canon Powershot that he says he is using for the basis of my comments. So, I have put that video through gspot myself. Since the user is going between the two forums (mostly here), I did not want anything lost in the back and forth. The goal is to help attainment of the goal. That is why I am including comments at both locations:

    The user has gotten back to me on the video rotation issue, thanking me, but telling me that another workflow was identified...and, as I note, generously shared with both sites. I am in the process of personally checking out what he said worked for him in that regard. However, the user has not gotten back to me on the topic of project settings.
    So to expedite matters, when you get a chance, could you please check out my comments in that thread? I would be interested in your perspective on the matter and what I wrote.
    Thanks.

  • Premiere 10, and Canon rebel 3Ti Blurry!

    I am using windows 7, and canon T31 film camera on the movie recording size is set at 1920 x 1080
    I do not know what my settings should be regarding opening a new project, so please don't ask me what settings I am using, I am using whatever opens up on the software.
    When i go to "share" which used to be export I guess, i share for other computers.  There is a message of "format of clips you are adding do not match the project settings format. For best results you should use the project presets that match your clips" When I chose, YES to this, i still get a blurry end result.
    Please help.  I've got a great camera, great software, don't understand why this ins't working.

    You say...
    I do not know what my settings should be regarding opening a new project, so please don't ask me what settings I am using
    AND
    No one brave enought to answer???
    AND
    The settings are whatever pops up automatically
    AND
    don't understand why this ins't working
    I'm sorry... I don't know you, but I am going to say what I've not seen anyone else say
    If you are not able to read the help file to find out how to use the program, you may not be cut out to do video editing
    You do not get into an automobile with a standard transmission and complain it does not drive well... after saying you do not know how to change gears so you just always drive in the same gear on all roads
    For video editing you really need to READ and learn how to use the program
    Saying "please don't ask" just is not going to work... for anyone here to help, we MUST ask what you are doing... and YOU must read and learn to help yourself
    Different kinds of video require a different project setting to work properly
    Do some reading and learn how to change gears... see below

  • Xha1 video blurry when played but not paused

    ok so i shot video on the canon xha1, hdv 60i.
    when the footage is paused it looks super clean, but when i play it, its all blurry. both render bars in timeline show grey. not green and blue. this wont be the export quality will it? and can i fix it?

    Your real time preview is showing you a proxy image (decreased quality) in order to keep the playback up to speed.
    No, your export won't look like that.
    You'd do well to connect an external ntsc (or pal as appropriate) monitor to understand how your material really appears. The manual has a section on connecting external monitors and this forum has a plethora of posts explaining it as well. Recognize what works for DV will not work for HDV.
    good luck.
