Canon 60d help

Currently I am shooting with a 60d and I just switched from FCP to Adobe Premiere. Every time I try to use the footage it makes me render. Are my settings off or is there a way to edit without rendering after every edit?

Decoding and playing back H.264 as it is used by the Canon DSLRs requires a reasonably powerful processor and a fair bit of RAM; you didn't mention processor, but 4GB is really not quite enough.
You might get OK playback by right-clicking on the Program Monitor (or clicking the Output button) and selecting Playback Settings and changing the setting to 1/2 Resolution or 1/4 Resolution. If that doesn't work, you'll either have to consider a more powerful computer (obviously not the most attractive option from a financial standpoint), or you can transcode the files--that's essentially what you'd be doing with Log and Transfer in FCP. If you go the latter route, you can drop all your files into Adobe Media Encoder (AME) and pick a format and codec to use for converting the files. Assuming you're still on a Mac, and with FCP installed, you could use QuickTime as the format and ProRes as the codec (check out The Video Road – A ProRes workflow end-to-end) or any other codec you like. AME has many different container and codec options, so a little experimentation may be required, but if you're already familiar with a ProRes workflow, you can be up and running fairly quickly.

I have a canon 60D and I'm trying to view images on the Ipad using the sd reader but no luck. Any help or ideas?

I have a Canon 60D and I am unable to view or transfer photos to the Ipad using the SD Card reader. I have been able to view images with a Canon T3i. Are there certain settings I need to set on the 60d or should it work automatically? anythoughts or ideas? thanks

Are the photo's you're trying to view/download in Raw? I've had difficulty downloading Raw files, but have had no issues downloading JPEG files. Also, check a setting in your Canon, called communication. From what I've read (I'm a Nikon D5100 guy myself), communication needs to be set to PTP, not normal. I'm not sure how that will help if the pictures are already encoded?
Well scratch what I've written. I just googled the 60D and supposedly, JPEG and Raw are supposed to transfer through the SD card reader easily. So, I'm clueless. Sorry.......

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

Unable to Open Canon 60D RAW files in PSE9

Since I got my new camera Canon 60D, I have not been able to open the RAW (CR2) files in my Photoshop Elements 9. The ones from my previous camera I could. I have installed the Solutions software that came with the camera and have gone to both the Canon and Adobe sites to see if there is something I am missing. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Can you check which version of Camera Raw is installed - it needs to be version 6.2 or later for the 60D
Open Full edit on the menu bar click:
Help >> About Plug-In >> Camera Raw
Press Esc to close the pop-up.

I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? can not go to updates either- error?

You might try downloading and installing the 6.7 camera raw update from here:

All clips from Canon 60D come out lagging

I just recently bought both a Canon 60D and Final Cut Pro X for my Macbook Pro. I have since tried repeatedly, in several ways, to upload my shot footage from that camera, and all of it lags and is choppy, at many points, having the frames dropped left and right.
I have tried:
1). Converting my .mov files to Apple ProRes
2). Changing the frame rate
3). Uploading the clips from their converted states off of a 1 TB hard drive into Final Cut
Among many others. The above methods didn't work.
I also tried editing the clips in Adobe Premiere... it lagged on there, too!
Two things though....
1). It DID play on iMovie just fine... along with Quicktime Player and a few other mediums that don't do what I want to do
2). Playback on the camera itself is smooth and clear just like I shot it.
HELP!! I've been trying to figure out my lagging issues for a week now. Help, PLEASE.

If they didn't play back smoothly with Pr or FCPX, I would wonder about hardware issues. Check to se that you have adequate free space on your system drive ~ 20% would be good. What are your system specs?
Also, here you're singling out the DSLR clips. How about HD footage from other sources?

Canon 60D - RAW files not opening

I have recently taken pictures with a Canon 60D and i am unable to open the raw files in ACR.
I am running PS CS5 and have ACR 6.7.
I have read forums which say that the 60D require 6.2 and yet i am still unable to view the files.
Other applications as the Digital Photo Professional open them fine when i have downloaded the drivers for that camera.
Can any one help?

The raw file you posted is not corrupt; however, it is from a 650D which wasn’t supported in ACR 6.7. See screen capture, below.
Do you have a 60D file that doesn’t work that you can post?
You could convert the 650D raw files to DNGs to process them in CS5/ACR 6.7, or upgrade to CS6/ACR 8.1 for $200, or subscribe to the creative cloud single-app, or perhaps expierment with Lightroom, with the longest timeframe would be available with LR 5.2 RC that expires Sept 30.

Can Canon 60D raw files work on Photoshop cs4, PowerPC G5?

So I recently got a Canon 60D for photo and video, but I can't seem to find a program that will read the 60D RAW files that is also compatible with PowerPC. Help! I am running photoshop CS4, the camera raw updates aren't compatible with PowerPC. The newest adobe DNG converter (6.5) isn't compatible with PowerPC, and the older DNG converter (4.4) that came with my 30D won't read 60D raw files. Is there anything that has a universal binary (PowerPC compatible) and will read 60D files? I really don't want to have to take my photos to another computer just to convert them. Thanks!

You may be in luck:
The 60D is from late 2010 and is only supported by Camera Raw/DNG Converter 6.2 or later.
According to this page, 6.4 was the last version to run on a PowerPC:

Corrupted RAW photos in iPhoto 9.6 (Yosemite) from Canon 60D

Early 2008 iMac, 4GB RAM, Yosemite 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.56 (910.29), Canon 60D. Downloaded images/thumbnails from camera via cable, card reader or backup hard drive are partially to fully blacked out in iPhoto. This does not happen with cable down load to MacAir or on iMac with older Canon camera. Have formatted and changed memory card in camera, reinstalled Yosemite and iPhoto to no avail. I need iPhoto to work seamlessly with my camera the way it used to or find an alternative. No work arounds, please. I can do that. I'd like my system and software to work the way it's supposed to work. Thank you.

Which version of the RAW support do you have installed?
If the problem directly started after installing the latest RAW support, try reinstall the RAW support by downloading it from Apple's download page.
That helped in similar cases, e.g.: Re: Digital Camera Raw Compatibility 6.02 - Nikon D800
Make a backup of your system and try to downgrade the RAW support to version 6.01
To downgrade the RAW Support to the last version from before the last update try this:
To reinstall the 'RAW Compatibility Update' it is necessary to uninstall the currently installed raw support. Otherwise the installer will rightfully say, that you already have the latest version installed.
If your tests are showing that the problem happens also in a different user account, try this:
The RAW support files are installed in the System Library in the folder "/System/Library/CoreServices" Folder:
To open this folder, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Click the smiling Finder icon in the Dock to bring the Finder forward.
Then type the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘G (for "Finder > Go > Go to folder") and copy and paste "/System/Library/CoreServices" into the text field. Click the "Go" button.
In the Finder window that will open, delete both the files "RawCamera.bundle" and "RawCameraSupport.bundle". You will have to enter your Administrator password. (don't empty the Trash, so you can put the files back, if need be)
Download the current RAW support update from Apple's Support Site:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1777?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
In the Downloads folder you will find the disk image with the installer. Double click it to open and run and the installer.
Then restart your Mac.

Canon 60D RAW Photo Granulation in LR3 normal? Or is this a BUG?

Hello, in most Photos from Canon 60D RAW is the Photo Granulation very high in LR3.
Is this normal or is this a bug?
This photo grain occurs immediately after the load on the RAW file without any aftertreatment.
It looks as if the LR3 sharpens automatically.

The noise granularity is normal when working with RAW files because this is how the data comes off the sensor.
It can help to change your LR defaults to use a sharpen mask that is quite high. I use 75. The higher the sharpen mask the more distinct the edge needs to be before the capture-sharpening is applied. Hold down the Alt-key while you adjust the Mask slider to see what is being sharpened and make it high enough that the general areas are not sharpened, only the edges.
For lower ISOs, this noise isn't necessarily a big problem for ink-jet printing that already consists of little dots, and actually helps the export sharpening have something to bite on if you are resizing significantly smaller, but it can be a problem is you are cropping down instead of resizing and displaying images close to full-resolution. In this case you'll want to adjust the Luminance slider up a bit more than normal. Don't go overboard with it, though.
Having worked with RAW files for many years, I actually prefer my images to be a little grainy and don't like in-camera JPGs where things are smoothed out too much.

I am new to FCP. I have a canon 60d camera and purchased fcpX. I was recommended to download mgep streamline and convert my files to prores422. I do not have an option for prores 422 in my download. How can I fix the problem.

I cannot open my RAW pictures from Canon 60D in CS2

I cannot open the RAW picture in CS2. I realize its a really old version of CS, but I don't want to upgrade if I don't have to. What can I do to open my RAW pictures? I am taking the pictures with a Canon 60D? Please help!! Thanks!!

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The 60D requires Camera Raw 6.2 or later which is only compatible with CS5 or later.
Raw support is never added retrospectively to older versions so you'll never be able to open 60D Raw files with CS2.
If upgrading is not an option then your best option is to download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all 60D Raw files to DNG format then try editing the DNGs in CS2.

Canon 60D work flow

I have just purchased the Canon 60d and would like some advice on editing work flow. Right now I have not upgraded to fcp 7. Would this make a difference when using the tape-less workflow? How about a RAM recommendation for DSLR HD editing? Any other advice that might help me ease into editing footage from this camera.
Thanks

FCP 7 will give you more options with ProRes. Proxy, LQ, 4444 in addition to SQ and HQ available in FCP 6.
Be sure to copy the entire card to your hard drive when transfering your content.
Don't edit the native H264 files, convert to ProRes LQ or SQ is good enough.
RAM isn't an issue so long as you have a minimum of 4Gb, (all that FCP can access) add more if you run a number apps at once.
