Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro Now Available...

There's been so much talk about the 5D, 7D, 550D on this board that I'm going to point to the EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro. This is supposed to speed to transcode of Canon Camera H.264 to FCP-friendly formats and let you add more metadata along the way.
Enjoy!
Canon webpage. Under Drivers & Downloads. Once you select your OS, "Mac OS X", the download should appear near the top of the "Software" list.
Note: (from Quickstart Guide)
This plug-in software allows you to convert MOV movies shot with an EOS Digital camera into ProRes files at high speed in the (Log & Transfer) window of Apple's Final Cut Pro.
FWIW: The quick start guide says cameras involved are 7D, 5D, 1D, no mention of 550D. Sort of odd.

For users in North America to make the Canon EOS REBEL T2i work (550D for Europe):
1. Install the new Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro (http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/co...nloadDetailAct)
2. Go to Library/Application Support/ProApps/MIO/RAD/Plugins/CanonE1.RADPLug/Contents/Resources/
2. Open up cameras.plist
3. After the 7D info add the following lines of code (keeping to the coding structure):
<key>T2i</key>
<array>
<string>Canon EOS REBEL T2i</string>
</array>
4. Save the text file. Close it. Everything should work now.
Cheerz.

  • Problems with Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    After about two weeks of using the Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro, I've found some clips are cut short when they are transcoded to Prores and appear in the browser. Has anyone else had this happen?

    Yes, just started using this and noticed pretty soon afterwards. Seems to happen when I start clicking around or doing anything that uses the processor more than just surfing the web, but that's just anecdotal. I immediately stopped and started using MPEG Streamclip, but I really want the timecode.
    Most recently, I had Log and Transfer open, transcoding some 7D footage, and a few of the clips didn't come in—they were left with the red stop-sign symbol/exclamation point. When I clicked to "retry," it stopped importing the current clip and started on the clip I retried. I clicked "retry" on another unimported clip, and again, the clip import stopped and the new clip began processing. I let it go through and, after the checking the footage, I discovered it had been incorrectly named the first clip's filename! Needless to say, I hand-checked every file to make sure it was the right duration (a few weren't), deleted the files from the Capture Scratch folder, and reimported—making sure I didn't touch the computer.
    I hope they fix this bug, whatever it is.
    BTW, I've experienced it on two separate Mac Pros.

  • I cleared out a movie I made in final cut pro, now fcp will not open completely, I get the logo with all the names running through but never get timeline, browser or anything else?  Help!!  Larry

    I removed a movie I had made and now when I try to open final cut pro, all the stuff shows up with the names, etc, but that is it, I don't get anything else, and, final cut does not show at the top of my computer.  I have the 27 inch iMac with the intel processor, any help will be appreciated.  Larry

    Sounds like you may have deleted more than just the movie file.  It the FCP application in the Applications folder?  if so, try launching from there.  If not, you'll neeed to uninstall the app completely using this: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/  then reinstall from the original install discs.
    You may want to first try trashing FCP's preferences.

  • Mpeg streamclip avi to mov conversion settings for Final Cut Pro

    Some help please.
    I have just started to attempt to edit some avi files on the latest FCP, and for one reason or another, I'm having trouble converting the AVI files to MOV files in Streamlip, I have tried quite a few variations, but with very little joy. When i try to import a recently created MOV file into my FCP project, it either has no audio or both video and audio need rendering once placed on the timeline.
    When I try to play the created MOV on QuickTime, again, there is no sound.
    I was just wondering if someone would be kind enough to tell me the exact Streamclip AVI -> MOV settings they have used to combat this problem, or simply just tell me where I'm going wrong.
    Hugely appreciated.

    Hi again,
    I have spent the last few hours trying all different types of variations of conversion, but with no lukc.
    Thanks for the tutorial link, but the problem isn't that I don't understand how to use Streamclip. i just don't know which video and audio settings to use to create a .MOV file that will provide me with audio. This seems to be my major problem so far. Audio isn't even present when I view the .MOV clip in quicktime.
    I have tried DV - PAL, H.264, Apple Motion Jpeg A, Apple DVCPRO - PAL etc etc, none with any success. It may be the way I'm trying to compress the audio, but I'm pretty sure that I've now tried everything!
    I simply need to know a good conversion and compression setting that will at the very least allow me to play the video with audio in QT. once I have that, I don't mind rendering the audio in FCP as it takes no time at all to do.
    Cheers!

  • New Canon EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 and FCE

    Does anyone know if this plugin will work in FCE?
    here is an info link:
    http://blog.planet5d.com/2010/03/canon-eos-movie-plugin-e1-for-final-cut-pro-now -available/
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The plugin also allows you to convert to a regular Apple intermediate codec, >which is supported in FCE though.
    That reference is to FCP7 only and not FCP6 that does have the same AIC as Express, check the details:
    http://blog.planet5d.com/43l
    I don't use FCP7 and cannot access a Canon cam to test.
    I'm not at all sure if the mentioned AIC in FCP7 is a new codec or a typo.??

    Re: Trash and Restore FCP 6 Preference Files
    by Alan Smith on Sep 18, 2008 at 8:20:00 am
    There are four files to trash when trying to trash the preferences.
    workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs
    workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProObj Cache
    workstation>Mac HD>Users>Workstation>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data>Final Cut ProProf Cache
    When you delete these files and restart FCP each of these will be rebuilt.

  • Canon EOS movie plugin: can't convert; status = !

    Hi there!
    I'm trying to log and transfer the H264 files from my Canon 7d into Final Cut 7 via the Canon EOS movie plugin.
    (The new one: EOS MOVIE Plugin-E1 for Final Cut Pro 1.3) from 04/17/12.
    This happened with the version before that as well, I never followed up the problem then...
    The Plugin is recognized, I can select it in the log/transfer prefs, but after dragging it down to the converting window, it calculates for a sec then just shows a red ! under status. (see pic)
    What can this be? Or what am I doing wrong?
    I restarted Final Cut / the Computer /
    I threw away the prefs, under user/library/prefrences/com.apple.FinalCut(pro)          (there where two I guess one is from the X version?)
    thanks for your help!
    Joe

    Thanks for your help guys!
    Hi mishmumken!
    It says "Error: Stream Error" (Translated from german: Fehler: Stream-Fehler)
    Why would there be a stream error??
    @Michael
    What more does this Application do? (Pref Mangager)
    I trashed the prefs in
    user/prefrences/com.apple.FinalCut.plist (& the com.apple.FinalCutpro.plist one)
    are there more prefs to delete?
    Regarding the installation, I did as described...
    For conversion I use the great free MPEG Streamclip App.. http://www.squared5.com/  Ill check the ones you mentioned.
    I would prefer to do the conversion in FCP but I guess I can do it externally.
    Would love to get the EOS Plug to work though...
    Regards

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin Inop

    Canon EOS Movie plug in for Final Cut Pro is inoperative. The log and transfer window inadvertently got changed so just the screen viewer shows. I can not see the thumb views of the clips or the queue window The arrows that usually allow adjusting of window size show but do not allow clicking and grabbing for adjustment.
    Any suggestions on how to revert back to the original log and transfer window or how to find the preferences to trash and start over? Reinstll?

    Trash your preferences using the application on the link below.

  • Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7

    Canon EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not recognized in Final Cut Pro 10.0.7
    I just installed the new version of final cut pro 10 and the canon plugin-E1 version 1.4 for the canon 5D mk III but after starting final cut pro I can not find the Log and transfer button., with the result I cannot import my files.
    Is there a solution for this problem.

    There is no L&T function in FCPX.
    The import media dialogue window does what you want.
    OS versions later than 10.6 should be fine importing Canon DSLRs.

  • New Canon EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro

    Just thought your would like to know. From canonrumors.com
    http://www.canonrumors.com/2011/04/canon-updates-e1-plugin-for-fcp/
    Canon today announces the latest update for EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro – the company’s custom-developed software application that provides quicker and easier editing of EOS Movie footage in Apple’s Final Cut Pro software suite.
    Launching to coincide with the start of the 2011 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show in Las Vegas, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will make the importing of EOS Movie files even easier, allowing users to transfer files from any folder, without needing to mirror the folder structure on the camera itself.
    The update also enables smoother importing from Canon’s EOS 7D, EOS 5D Mark II and EOS-1D Mark IV models, allowing users to import footage without requiring the THM file generated by the camera.
    Originally launched in February 2010, EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro is designed to quickly and seamlessly convert EOS Movie footage from Canon’s leading range of EOS DSLR cameras to Apple’s high-quality ProRes 422 codec. The plug-in allows users to convert footage at approximately twice the speed of Apple’s standard conversion, creating a smoother workflow for the rapidly growing number of videographers shooting HD video content on DSLR cameras.
    EOS Movie Plug-in-E1 for Final Cut Pro version 1.2 will be available to download for free from 25th April 2011.

    And I just spent over an hour yesterday explaining to a client how utterly essential it was to maintain the exact folder structure for proper log & transfer:/
    If I say that once a day to students, I say it a thousand times.
    On top of that I just started Carbon Copy Clone today with all my updates in my editing lab. Not the end of the world but it's a little time consuming on 80 stations. Oh well.

  • Canon EOS Movie plugin-E1 not working

    Can anyone tell me how to properly install the Canon EOS Movie plugin-E1 properly? Ive tried putting it into the library/application support/final cut pro system support/plugin folder but nothing happens when i try to log and transfer...
    Any ideas?

    This plugin is available for download from Canon site in installer form. You need to launch the installer and don't have to copy any files by hand.

  • Plugins for Final Cut Pro X

    It looks like Final Cut Pro X does not support import or export of FCXML. My company wrote a plugin that appears under the import,export menu using a Final Cut Pro provate API we had to sign an NDA for.
    We now need to rewrite for Final Cut Pro X. Who can we contact to answer our questions?
    ps: I'm part of both the Mac and iOS developer programs yet I don't see any forums or developer information for this...
    best,
    Tuviah

    no it was another plugin API that I got from Apple to develop plugins such as the one by YouSendIt, or EVS, or Automated Duck which allows adding a menu item to the FCP import and export menus.
    Unfortunately the Apple contacts we had 3 years ago, such as Adam Green, who gave us these APIs no longer work there or are not responding.
    I've actually tried using my technical incidents to get answers but keep getting told that I need to ask the final cut pro team without so much as an email or other link.
    so I'm REALLY REALLY hoping someone at Apple is monitoring this list and can help out. Or perhaps another plugin developer.
    I would think Apple would want to make it easy for 3rd parties to integrate..
