Canon GL-2 compatability with I Movie?

Hi. I am looking into the Canon GL-2 for use with imovie and FCE. Does anyone have experience with this? Any advice would be great. I am filming sit down interviews in people's homes.

Hi SJ:
Being Karsten's personal translator, please let me be of assistance...;))
First, "beats of a camera"...yes-that's a good thing.
Secondly, the daisy chain thing has to do with an older Apple Article that warned against it in conjunction with certain Canon models:
Macintosh: FireWire Issue With Some Canon Mini-DV Cameras
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61603
Not necessarily going to affect you-he was just touching all bases.
Hope that helps!
Sue
...that OK with you, Karsten?

  • Compatibility with windows movie maker

    I purchased a song but it is not in the correct format for windows movie maker. What can I do?

    Where'd you purchase the song from? iTunes Music Store?
    If so, then you're out of luch unless you choose to break the law. It would be illegal to remove the DRM from an iTunes Music Store purchased track, which would be necessary to put the track ina new format compatible with Microsoft products.

  • Canon Legria HF20 - Compatibility with iMovie

    I have just ordered a Canon Legria HF20 camcorder. However, I have a concern.
    I just checked Apple's offical list of iMovie 09 compatible camcorders, and the PAL version isn't listed as a compatible camcorder. However, the NTSC version is, which is called the Cannon Vixia HF20. I am not sure if the reason why the PAL version isn't listed is just because they haven't got around to testing it.
    Can anyone confirm whether the HF20 works with iMovie? Am I safe to assume that if the NTSC version is compatible, then the PAL version will also be compatible

  • Compatibility with Canon XL2

    Hi there,
    I'm looking to hire the Canon XL2 for use with imovie 08 and just wanted to ask if anyone has had experiences good or bad in using them both together? I have a mac mini 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and also wanted to know if this is sufficient for the edit? Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance

    I have some experience with the XL2, and here's how I cured the fuzzy problem myself, though this may not be your same issue:
    The XL2 is very (and I mean VERY) light sensitive. You need just the right amount of gain, the right color filtration, and exposure. Since the viewfinder is a low resolution, it will not show these properties well. In iMovie, however, your resolution is large enough to increase the clarity, and so this is what you do. Hook up your camera via firewire (or what have you), with lens attached, and set the room ambiance to what you're aiming for in your picture (light, dark, heavy shadows, what have you). There are 3 things that will adjust the quality--Gain, Exposure, and Filter. These can all be found in the guide, but for a quick shot, the gain and filter can be modified via two dials at the bottom of the XL2's body, below the item selection wheel. The exposure is adjustable via the viewfinder options menu using 'Exp. Lock', a bar showing - and + at each end will give you a general idea of where your 'exposure' amount is. High exposure in bright areas will cause the image to look almost pure white, and in dark areas will cause noise (the 'grainy' effect). Vice-versa, an exposure set too low will make the color desaturated and gray, no matter the lighting. For me, I set the exposure around the middle, the gain at auto (or manually, I'll have it at either -3 or +3, no further than that), and the filter needs to be apropriate for your surroundings (they have outside light, inside light, night, et cetera) I know it sounds choppy, but 'just mess with it' until you get what you want.
    Editing is rather easy from there. You set it to VCR, import your footage as you see fit (Using Firewire, a whole hour can take only seconds on a fast mac). Edit from there using whatever program you've got (most of them make it pretty easy) and voila.
    As an aside, for most of you it won't be a necessity, but if you use a macbook laptop or anything with under a 240 gig hard drive, if you intend to be a serious movie producer (which, by simply owning the XL2, you must be), you'll need an external hard drive to save all your stuff. You can get over 320 gigs for just about 100 dollars, and obviously a whole lot more for just a small increment more. I suggest this because for professional movie production you need high-res video, which can take a lot of space up very quickly.

  • Looking at a Canon GL2, any issues with compatibility? Using FC 6

    The GL2 is rock solid for a good MiniDV camera and plays 100% well with my setup FCPS 6.0.3. I've heard and read the threads about Canon and Firewire but have not experienced issues at all with my workflow. I have used it as a deck in a pinch but I will also say that I use a deck most often these days.
    I'll second all of this...but I'm also from Bothell, so maybe it's a geographical anomaly

  • Is Camcorder Canon XA20 compatable with FCE

    I have purchased a camcorder Cann XA20 and hoping it is compatable with Final Cut Express HD.
    Can some advise please.

    There are types of footage that are known as Interlaced and Progressive.
    If using PAL footage that has a video standard of 25 frames it is actually made up of 50 fields.
    A field is one scan of odd lines followed by a scan of even lines, these two fields when combined create the one frame.
    This is the type of footage FCE can work with.
    Progressive footage is a self contained frame without the two fields.
    Simply put, FCE is designed to work with Interlaced footage.
    If your camera has shot Progressive footage do not expect it to Import.

  • Hyper-V Live Migration Compatibility with Hyper-V Replica/Hyper-V Recovery Manager

    Hi,
    Is Hyper-V Live Migration compatible with Hyper-V Replica/Hyper-V Recovery
    Manager?
    I have 2 Hyper-V clusters in my datacenter - both using CSVs on Fibre Channel arrays. These clusters where created and are managed using the same "System Center 2012 R2 VMM" installation. My goal it to eventually move one of these clusters to a remote
    DR site. Both sites are connected/will be connected to each other through dark fibre.
    I manually configured Hyper-V Replica in the Fail Over Cluster Manager on both clusters and started replicating some VMs using Hyper-V
    Replica.
    Now every time I attempt to use SCVMM to do a Live Migration of a VM that is protected using Hyper-V Replica to
    another host within the same cluster,
    the Migration VM Wizard gives me the following "Rating Explanation" error:
    "The virtual machine virtual machine name which
    requires Hyper-V Recovery Manager protection is going to be moved using the type "Live". This could break the recovery protection status of the virtual machine.
    When I ignore the error and do the Live Migration anyway, the Live migration completes successfully with the info above. There doesn't seem to be any impact on the VM or it's replication.
    When a Host Shuts-down or is put into maintenance, the VM Migrates successfully, again, with no noticeable impact on users or replication.
    When I stop replication of the VM, the error goes away.
    Initially, I thought this error was because I attempted to manually configure
    the replication between both clusters using Hyper-V Replica in Failover Cluster Manager (instead of using Hyper-V Recovery Manager).
    However, even after configuring and using Hyper-V Recovery Manager, I still get the same error. This error does not seem to have any impact on the high-availability of
    my VM or on Replication of this VM. Live migrations still occur successfully and replication seems to carry on without any issues.
    However, it now has me concern that Live Migration may one day occur and break replication of my VMs between both clusters.
    I have searched, and searched and searched, and I cannot find any mention in official or un-official Microsoft channels, on the compatibility of these two features. 
    I know vMware vSphere replication and vMotion are compatible with each otherhttp://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.replication_admin.doc%2FGUID-8006BF58-6FA8-4F02-AFB9-A6AC5CD73021.html.
    Please confirm to me: Are Hyper-V Live Migration and Hyper-V Replica compatible
    with each other?
    If they are, any link to further documentation on configuring these services so that they work in a fully supported manner will be highly appreciated.
    D

    This can be considered as a minor GUI bug. 
    Let me explain. Live Migration and Hyper-V Replica is supported on both Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Hyper-V.
    This is because we have the Hyper-V Replica Broker Role (in a cluster) that is able to detect, receive and keep track of the VMs and the synchronizations. The configuration related to VMs enabled with replications follows the VMs itself. 
    If you try to live migrate a VM within Failover Cluster Manager, you will not get any message at all. But VMM will (as you can see), give you an
    error but it should rather be an informative message instead.
    Intelligent placement (in VMM) is responsible for putting everything in your environment together to give you tips about where the VM best possible can run, and that is why we are seeing this message here.
    I have personally reported this as a bug. I will check on this one and get back to this thread.
    Update: just spoke to one of the PMs of HRM and they can confirm that live migration is supported - and should work in this context.
    Please see this thread as well: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsazure/en-US/29163570-22a6-4da4-b309-21878aeb8ff8/hyperv-live-migration-compatibility-with-hyperv-replicahyperv-recovery-manager?forum=hypervrecovmgr

  • OBIEE 10g compatability with IE 10

    Hi
    Can any one help me in Does Obiee 10.1.3.X is compatable with IE 10 rignt now we are using IE 8 we want to move to IE 10
    Thanks,

    While I'm not advocating to change delivered code, there is a way you can upgrade to IE10 but have browsers downgraded behind the scenes to run OBIEE 11g as IE versions 7-9 by doing the below
    navigate to
    Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/display/featuretables/
    and open iecommon.xml
    modify the line that shows below:
    <feature name="requiredMetaTags" xsi:type="xsd:string">&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=100" &gt;</feature>
    and change to
    <feature name="requiredMetaTags" xsi:type="xsd:string">&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" &gt;</feature>
    This will force the meta tag that's push with each html page to be rendered as document type IE9.  You can take this all the way down to IE7. 
    Keep in mind, this method isn't officially supported.  However, when you have no control over how IE is rolled out in your organization you're really forced to do things out the ordinary to keep the application functioning
    Thanks!

  • IMovie '08 compatibility with upper end HD cameras?

    Hi All,
    I am looking to buy a more upper end HD camera for a project I am working on. I like working in iMovie '08 but cannot find the information from camera manufacturers or from apple about the following cameras and their compatibility with iMovie '08.
    Cameras of interest:
    Canon XL H1
    Canon XH G1
    Canon XH A1
    Panasonic AG-HVX200
    Thanks All for the help and yes I know I should be working in final cut
    Tim

    The problem arise from HD format.
    Imovie 8 wants a Mac format. It don't accept a MS-DOS format.

  • Can anyone recommend a moderate priced camcorder to use with I movie 08'...

    I recently purchased a i mac OSX version 10.5 and would like to buy a new camcorder. I would like recommendations for a good moderately priced camcorder to use with i movie 08 or i dvd. Thanks.

    Take a look at the Panasonic line of miniDV tape cams. Their better cams have 3CCD's, which is desirable.
    If you think you may wish to use iMovie 06, the earlier and, in the opinion of many iMovie faithful, the best iMovie version, you will require a miniDV tape cam with a Firewire port. Hard drive or DVD cams will not work with iMovie 06.
    If you choose a format other than miniDV, make sure the cam chosen is on Apple's compatibility list and be aware that even that is no guarantee of glitch free connection to your Mac, as can be seen in the iMovie 08 postings.

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

  • Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

    Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

    I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
    Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
    Thank you,
