Canon 60D saved footage files in H264...need to convert...is there a way to automatically shoot and save as a different codec?

Hey,
My friend has the Canon 60D. We shot some footage and I uploaded it to my computer and saw that it was H264 codec. I now have to convert it all to ProRez Lite. I'm not too familiar with the camera but - is there a way for the Canon 60D to automatically save the files it shoots to a better codec so that when I upload them to my computer it's ready to go?
My friend only has an 8GB SD card. The stuff we would be shooting would'nt be too too much footage but if there was a way to make it save as something like Pro Rez lite where it can be editable in FC and still a decent file size that would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the replys. Since it's not my camera he was just letting me borrow his sd card, so I wouldn't be able to do the log and transfer thing because I won't have the camera/usb etc. But that seems like the transcoding would take some time regardless since it's still converting.
I usually use the regular Prores 422, but I mentioned trying out pro res lite cause I hear the quality is similiar and less on the file size.
I guess I will have to just deal with waiting to convert footage everytime I want to edit. It doesn't make sense to me why their default is a delivery format on a prosumer product... I can understand iphones being h264 cause they need it small compression on just planning to upload it raw to youtube or something but with a dslr which would most likely be used with editing is in a delivery codec... So is that the standard workflow with everyone to spend hours converting first?
Thanks

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

    Numbers should be able to read Excel files without any problems.    If Numbers does not read the graphics properly then you can try Excel Online. https://office.live.com/start/Excel.aspx

  • Is there some way I can insert and play these additional audio files, accessible via separate button

    I am converting a CD-ROM course to an online format with that software.
    In the majority of slides created I have used the Import Audio function to insert a primary audio file containing important curriculum information.
    This file typically activates the moment you open the slide.
    So far so good.
    However, in many slides I also need to insert some secondary audio files.
    While the Import Audio function permits me to splice several files into one, this isn't what I want.
    Instead, I need to insert one or more additional audio files that can be activated independently via separate buttons on a given slide.
    I can in fact do this with the Insert Button function, but in the process a Windows Media Player file opens when I convert the project into HTML.
    My question:
    Is there some way I can insert and play these additional audio files, accessible via separate buttons, without creating and opening a Windows Media Player file?
    Thanks

    It is hard to assess the situation without sitting at your computer and having a look myself.  First, if you're seeing space savings I doubt all your files are a compressed format.  Frequently if you try compressing a compressed format file such as AAC (don't confuse with AIFF) you will actually find the file gets larger because there is overhead to compression and if it cannot compress any more then you end up just adding overhead on top of no savings.  Second, normally if you zip the iTunes library it would basically make it inaccessible to iTunes and iTunes would make you a brand new library or at least flag all your tracks as missing (as you are seeing ain part).
    I don't know what computer you are running, which operating system, which version of iTunes.  Unless they have done something radical in Lion in terms of letting you zip your iTunes folder and still have it functional, you either didn't zip the whole thing, or... I don't know.  One scenario is that somehow your media have been split up and you have them in several locations.  One isn't really part of your library except for 80 tracks, so when you compressed it (and I still am puzzled by the compression unless it was AIFF files you were no longer using), it didn't really make much difference to the playability.  Then you have an untouched library elsewhere.
    Use the Reveal In Finder command to see where some of those problem files are located vs. where the playable files are located.

    Select/highlight the ones that you want to change in your iTunes library, do Get-Info (control-I) and change their Media Kind on their Options tab to 'Music Video' - and then similarly for the podcasts.

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

  • Is there a way on maxdb to force netbackup to use different initSID.utl fil

    (This thread refers to a question that was posted to a blog and where the proper location to handle it is this forum)
    Is there a way on maxdb to force netbackup to use different initSID.utl files ? I have try to do it with different bsi.env file . But if i start the backup it keep on asking for the default bsi.env file in /sapdb/data/wrk/SID directory . I have set the variable BSI.ENV to the new file but it looks like it ignore it. Its on a sun solaris operating system
    Due to security reasons the DBM server process does no longer inherit environment variables from its caller, e.g. dbmcli.
    see PTS 1155045, as especially in the area of external backup tools inheriting environment settings seem to be rather common.
    Idea is to add BSI_ENV to the dbm.cfg file with a command like:
      dbmcli -d ... -u ... dbm_configset BSI_ENV
    For further information please refer to this documentation section
    or for Backint also here 
    Best regards
    Jörg

    Hi Jörg,
    hmmm. I'd guess there are some problem with for which user the environment variables have been defined...
    Anyhow, usually it's easier not to use the environment variables but to provide the dbm-server it's own runtime variables via dbm_configset.
    Check the old thread archive_stage and archive_stage_repeat to different NSR_POOLs for an example application of this.
    regards,
    Lars

  • I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

  • When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically import old music files? Last time I got a new computer I didn't have to use an external drive to update my music library.

    When downloading iTunes onto a new computer, is there any way to automatically important songs from your previous computer? I recently cracked the screen on my computer and cannot access any files. Last time I got a new computer my iTunes media files automatically appeared in my iTunes when I downloaded it, and I did not have to use my external drive. Is this still possible?

    If your backup copy of the old computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.

    Restore them from the recycle bin if they are there, or your backup, or find an unerase or file recovery tool, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you have one.

  • Is there a way to search for and install all uninstalled fonts? I'm getting bored of opening all the files up.

    I've got a file of about 100 typefaces, which is 1000s of fonts. I want to install them all but I dont want to have to open each file and install them all individually (or in small groups).
    So is there a way to search for and install ALL uninstalled fonts in one hit?
    Cheers.

    The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.
