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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

My mavericks OS operating system won't install canon eos movie plugin

I recently upgraded to Mavricks OS and am in need to download plug-ins for FCP7 so that I am able to log and transfer 5D MII and MIII footage but it won't allow me to do so. I called canon but they were of no help and assumed that it would work although it does not. Does anyone have any suggestions? You all rock

The Mac Pro is a newer one "A1186" it says on the back.
Those models were first released in January, 2008, and discontinued in March, 2009. They shipped with Leopard, 10.5.x. That's what will be on the gray disks, if you still have them.
Perhaps you need to put on your reading glasses. I did wipe the drive.
Be nice. No one here is a perfectly functioning android. We all overlook things at times. What babowa is saying about Lion has nothing to do with retrieving your father's personal data. It's when you do a Recovery mode restart, it won't reinstall Lion without knowing your father's App Store ID and password.
If you no longer have the original gray disks (or even if you do), your best bet is to call Apple and purchase a retail DVD copy of Snow Leopard, which will be version 10.6.3. Install that and then update it to 10.6.8, which will put the App Store on the drive. From there, you can login to your own App Store account and install later versions of OS X you have purchased. Which of course would be Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks. All of which will run on that Mac.

Canon EOS Movie Plugin

Does anyone know how to use this thing? I can't seem to get anything to happen. My footage is on a hard drive (not the camera). Will it still work? What's the process, I'm following the instructions, and nothing happens.

You need the files in the disk image with Thumbnails. You add the Folder Name.
Folder Name
->DCIM
---->100EOS5D
Without the THM's it will not mount the folder. I had a similar issue, plus didn't have the THM's. I just replicated a THM and renamed them with the file names I was trying to import and it worked. You just need to construct your disc folder to look like your CF card. Any thumbnail will do so longer as the file name matches.....of course then your thumbnails won't be for the file, but at this stage, who cares?

EOS Movie Plugin-E1 not working

Can anyone tell me why the EOS Movie Plugin-E1 is not working?? Ive installed it properly, preferences seem fine but no thumbnails show up when i select my eos card reader, or DCIM folder as the folder to read....
Any advice!!!??

It's not an Apple item so you'd want to talk to Canon—or Sony or whoever publishes the plugin, information that would have been helpful, "EOS" could be anything. They may have a user group for you.

CANON EOS MOVIE E1 FCP PLUGIN

I downloaded the new EOS Movie E1 FCP plugin which is appearing in FCP log and transfer window. I have canon 5D files that I am attempting to transfer. I was under the impression that if your file structure is not 100% what it should be the files can still be transferred. That is the case with me, I copied these files from a friends hard drive to edit but the structure is not 100% what they originally were. Can I still use this plugin or should I just do the job in compressor.
Thanks!

What's that Canon folder? Just a folder with the clips in them? If so, that's right it's not going to work with log and transfer. Use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to transcode the media to ProRes or ProRes LT.

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.

Anyone had experience with 5D firmware 2.0.3, EOS Movie Plugin?

I just downloaded it. How does it work in terms of bringing in new 5D movies to Final Cut?

HI H.
If you are not familiar with using FCP's Log and Transfer interface then the process will be a strange new experience for you ... but a good one, I hope Following the introduction of the E1 Movie plugin there were a number of good workflow walkthroughs posted for folks in your position .. here are a few links to get you started:
