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.

For future reference, you will most likely get more knowledgeable answers if you post in the FCP forum where the folks who use the product regularly hang out:

What mac mini should i get to edit 1080p dslr (Canon 60d) home movies with imovie

Hi
I have a lot of 1080p (25fps) footage from a Canon 60D dslr (SD card) and footage from an old Sony MiniDV (firewire). Which I want to edit down.
I have two monitors24" Full HDs, so am looking to get a Mac Mini to do this editing (using Imovie). I dont need fcp. Its purely editing down footage into short home movies..
Out of the two mac mini's (the one with the Radeon HD and the one with the slightly slower i5 and Intel HD 3000 graphics) is it worth the extra £200. Or will the $699 model do the job?
I'm unsure if the GPU & RAM increase will make a noticable difference. I have no problem upping the ram myself.

Any of them will be fine for what you what you want. I have a 2009 Mac mini and it can handle FCP no worries. Make sure you get a decent hard drive and memory though. Although you may just want to run iMovie, final cut pro is very good and easy to use. I use the mojo plugin by red giant which does wonders for skin tones.

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.

Pro Res LT & Canon 60D

Many have posted that you should use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert CAnon 60D 1920x1080/24 to Apple Pro Res LT. My client is a local TV station and they currently air their programming in HDV 1080i. Which program converts with higher quality, MPEG Streamclip or Compressor and once in edit in FCP with Pro Res LT am I not using a much lower quality image? And when I play out to HDV won't that be a quality less than HDV? I'm trying to get a gist of the procedure for editing Pro Res and then delivering to a client. I may have the option of providing them each 30 minute show as a Quicktime File, but would I give them Quicktime Files as Pro Res LT or another higher codec? All new to me since I now use a Canon 60D. Thanks

Which program converts with higher quality, MPEG Streamclip or Compressor...
Both use the installed QuickTime frameworks. The quality will be identical.
..and once in edit in FCP with Pro Res LT am I not using a much lower quality image?
No. You will not see a difference. LT is absolutely fine for the images you aquired.
I'm trying to get a gist of the procedure for editing Pro Res and then delivering to a client.
Only the client / broadcaster can tell you that. Ask them for a copy of their delivery specifications.
While there are general guidlines, they usually specify permitted signal levels etc. But there will be a huge difference in what formats you can deliver to a local PBS compared with a national network.

Edit footage shot from canon 60D

Hi,
I am new to dslr video shooting. I want to edit the footage I shot with the canon 60D. I have some problems withe settings. I know that canon 60D shot in h264 so I have converted my footage to apple prores 422 (HQ)...I was wondering what setting should I set for the easy set up? I am not sure what should I set. I shot the footage in 1920 24p. And also, if i finish edting, do i just use the quicktime conversion and export the video to h264 again? or there is other setting? thanks!

That was overkill for the video produced by your camera. If you are using a recent edition of Final Cut Studio, you could have chosen Pro Res LT which would have given equal picture quality/FCP compatibility, in much less disk space.
I was wondering what setting should I set for the easy set up?
You don't need to worry about Easy Set Up as that is primarily designed to assist in the setup to capture material from tape.
Create a project, import you converted footage, and the first time you drag or edit an imported clip to your timeline, FCP will offer to match your sequence settings to your source footage. Say Yes and you should be ready to go.
And also, if i finish edting, do i just use the quicktime conversion and export the video to h264 again?
The answer to this depends on how you intend to use your edited video - are you planning on posting it on the web? The end use will dictate what format you convert your edited footage to.

Will my mac be able to handle Canon 60d footage?

My computer specs are: G5 PowerPC, 2.0Ghz Dual core processor, 8 GB RAM, 256 MB Ati Radeon 9800 pro graphics card and Final Cut pro 6.0.6.
Now my friend is thinking of buying a Canon 60d and my computer is the one we always edit on. Will it be able to edit the footage if I converted it to Apple Prores (LP, HQ or standard)?
Thanks,
Alfie.

To be clear, your is a dual processor, not a dual core.
An image is an image. As long as you can get the photos from the camera to the computer, your software should work as it always does.
Now, are you really asking about RAW support, or some other format support?

It is highly probable that your G5 is a bit old, slow, and that the software a bit late to be fully compatible with the Canon.

Vertical lines showing up after rendering chroma key on Canon 60D footage...

Ok so I am working with Final Cut Pro 7 right now and this is my first green screen attempt.
1) I shot the footage with my Canon 60D and did a log and transfer so I could make the H.264 files into Apple Pro Res 422, the correct method.
2) I then applied Color Smoother 4:2:2 , then Blue and Green Screen and selected green, then Spill Supressor, then Matte Choker, then Mask Feather. After tweaking the parameters throughout the filters I came out with a perfect image.
3) I then tried placing another ProRes video underneathe of the clip so that the video would show in place of the green. It worked and looked great.
HOWEVER
4) Upon rendering and playing back through the final image I noticed vertical lines running down the 60D footage. At first I thought it was the image underneath coming through, but even after removing the image and simply using chroma key until the green turned to black and rendering again, the lines were still present. Am I doing something wrong?
Please help, I have a deadline

The HQ flavor of ProRes is overkill for this footage (I also have this model Canon), but that's not really important to fixing your problem.
Further to what Rv told you: I've long been advised by people who are savvy about keyers to avoid the stock FCP keyer and use the Primatte plug-in – and that's been my go-to tool. Recently, I tried the new keyer in Motion5 and was very impressed. I tested it on a project I'd been only OK about and found it made a huge difference. If you're going to do a lot of this kind of work, check it out. For $50 the keyer alone is worth it.

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

Canon 60D not recognized by iMac

My early 2013 iMac 27" running Mavericks does not recognize my Canon 60D when plugged in via USB.
I've tried Image Capture, iPhoto, Lightroom. Nothing will recognize it. I've also tried plugging via USB hub and straight into a USB port of the iMac. Even tried different USB cables. No luck.
I also have a late 2008 MBP running Mavericks and it reads my camera just fine when plugged in via USB.
I know I can just use a card reader, but that's not the issue here. Why does my MBP read the camera just fine but iMac doesn't? It was working fine last week and out of nowhere it just stopped working. I'm baffled.

                                                                                                                    2014.06.15
Some questions and suugestions.
When did it stop functioning ? If it works on another computer, you at least know that the Canon is OK.
So the Canon works, leaving the iMac as the most likely culprit, but I think you may be looking in the
wrong direction. Go to the Canon web site and see if they have a later driver than what's in your iMac.
I would also send separate emails to Canon and to Apple. I'm sure that both would be interested.
               I hope that this may be of some use to you; when any product fails to function, its' usually
driver related. Other than that, take two asperins and call yourself in the morning. ( lame, but I couldn't resist )
                                                                                                  théo de boer

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?
Message was edited by: Brett N

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?

I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? the same program on stationary mac can open the same raw files, whereas new lap top can not? Why? can not go to updates either- error, why?

Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
What error do you get when going to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5.1?
You might try downloading and installing the 6.7 camera raw update from here:

Camera Raw does not read previously saved XMP files (Canon 60D)

Hi,
I want to ask if it is a real problem or just me doing something wrong.
I open RAW files made with Canon 60D (Photoshop CS5, Camera Raw 6.6), then I do what a do (cropping, exposure changes, sharpen ... etc.), then I click the Done button. Camera Raw saves XMP files along with the RAW files. After this I want to do some more editing, I open the RAW files, but Camera RAW does not "remember" what it did just minutes before. I suppose that it is not reading the XMP files that it created.
So is it me or it is some kind of bug?
I don't have this problem when editing RAW files made with Canon 400D.
Thanks for your time!

If I understand correctly the issue is not viewing in Bridge, but rather that ACR doesn't remember the changes.
There is a discussion in the Camera Raw forum about this issue of not always reading the changes after clicking Done in ACR.
But no solution.

Yes, ACR doesn't remember/show the changes I made.
It seems that I have the same problem as the other forum member from the link. I tried to recreate the issue, but this time all went well and ACR displayed the changes I made ...
It is strange because I had the issue numerous times on two different windows PC's ...

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?
