Canon HF 200 Compatibility

Am trying to determine if FCE 4 on Intel iMac will load video directly from the Canon HF 200 without need for rerendering.
Bulletin boards seem unclear on this.
Anyone know for sure?
The Canon HF 200 uses a flash card for storage.
FCE does not list this camera as compatible, but does list other Canon flash card camcorders.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I'm trying to use log and transfer function for the first time to get footage from a Canon HF200 camera. I've got an Intel-based MacBook Pro, upgraded to FCE 4, and all the clips shows up in the log and transfer window. But when I try to add a clip to the queue it thinks for a few seconds, then gives me a red stop sign and exclamation point. When I hover my mouse over it it says "Error: no data".
Any ideas on the best way to troubleshoot this?

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

Canon HF-200 1080i50 - Looks good in FCE but Export to Quicktime is jerky

Hi,
Title says it all really. I have FCE 4 and over the weekend I picked up a Canon HF-200 (PAL UK version). I am sort of impressed by the quality of the camera - I will probably post about that soon - but I have a real issue with 'Export to Quicktime' (the uncompressed MOV file).
I have the 'easy setup' set so that its 1080i50. I used Log and transfer. I dragged a couple of clips onto the sequence (which looks great - perfect playback on the Viewer etc), saved the project, chose to Export the sequence. It gave me a huge file as expected but its jerky and pixelated during movement. A similar test with 25p clips worked fine - the Quicktime Movie looks as it did on the viewer.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I also get the same problem. Just bought Canon HF 200 1080i50 European PAL model.
And i've filmed a bunch of test videos 50i fps and 25p fps.
And started to import in Final Cut Pro 6.0.5.
Video settings:
Sequence Preset: Apple ProRes 422 1920x1080 50i 48kHz
Capture preset: HDV-Apple ProRes 422
And it all seems so weired:
Clips captured at 50i - looks interlaced and jagged - when i look at Item properties, there is Vid rate: 25fps Field Dominance: None ????????
but
Clips captured at 25fps - looks OK - when i look at Item properties, there is Vid rate: 25fps Field Dominance: Upper (Odd) ????????
This all is not right .... there should be where 50i Field Dominance and not with 25fps

Which is the better lens for wildlife, sport action canon 70-200 is usm ii series L or Canon 100-400

Which would be a better for wildlife and sport action Canon 70-200 mm is usm ii serie L f/2.8 or Canon 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6?

On what camera? It makes a big difference depending upon whether you are using full frame or a crop camera.
Also depends upon the particular sports and type of wildlife most commonly involved, how much reach you might need. Outdoor, daytime sports vs indoor and nightime sports is another key factor.
On a crop camera a 70-200 is generally a lot more usable than it is on full frame, for sports and wildlife. An f2.8 lens and 70-200 might be ideal for indoor sports even with a crop camera. It also might be plenty for large game that can be pretty closely approacted. But for small and more shy wildlife, sports on a larger playing field, you'll more likely need the 100-400. But as an f4.5-5.6 lens that's going to be more of a daytime-only lens.
The 100-400mm is unusual in that it's a push/pull zoom. This can be particularly fast to use and makes the lens popular among photograhers shooting fast moving subjects such as birds in flight and air shows.
If you give serious consideration to the 70-200/2.8 IS II in combination with teleconverter EF 2X III, I'd suggest renting and trying them toghether first. The reason is that a stronger 2X teleconverter has more effect on image quality than a weaker TC. The specific combination of the 70-200 Mark II lens and the 2X Mark III TC is pretty darned good.... better than the combo earlier versions of each item. But whether or not it's up to your expectastions is a judgment call only you can make. So it might be wise to rent before you buy, just to be sure.
If instead you start to take a hard look at the 100-400mm, once again you might want to rent it and give it a try. Some people really like the push/pull zoom design. Some don't. (I'm one of the latter... but to be fair this is largely an old prejudice from trying to use that type of zoom in the past, long before IS. I always found push-pull zooms hard to get a steady shot with.... But the 100-400's IS goes a long way toward solving that problem.)
And those two really aren't your only choices.
Personally I use a pair of crop cameras (7D), most of the time one fitted with a 70-200, and the other fitted with a 300/4 IS, sometimes in combination with an EF 1.4X II teleconverter. Or, when I don't need to be mobile and can set up a tripod, I'll use a 300/2.8 IS, both by itself and with EF 1.4X II or 2X II teleconverters.
Another possibility is two lower cost lenses... such as a 70-200/4 IS in combination with a third party lens such as the Sigma 120-400 OS or 150-500 OS. Those lenses are considerably less expensive than the 70-200/2.8 II and the 100-400, respectively. You might be able to afford both and still find they meet your needs very well.
I use the 70-200/4 IS, as well as a copy of the first version of the 70-200/2.8 IS, and they are excellent lenses too. No doubt about it, the 70-200/2.8 IS Mark II is top of the heap and exceptionally good... but rest assured those other 70-200s are no slouches.
If using a full frame camera, for large field sports and more distant, smaller wildlife.... better start saving up. You're going to need one or two of the super telephotos, such as the new EF 200-400/4L IS 1.4X that I'm saving up for!
p.s. By the way, if not already doing so you might want to try Back Button Focusing. It's a very popular technique among sports/action and wildlife photographers. I've been using it for years for virtually everything I shoot, and can't imagine using any other method now.

Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Lens Profile

The Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Lens does currently not have a lens profile in LR 5.x. What is the likelihood that Adobe will add one?

The lens profile delineates corrections for geometric (barrel or pincushion) distortion and for light fall-off (vignetting). The CA correction and defringe functions are separate tools that just happen to be grouped together with profile application function and the perspective distortion tools in the same panel because there is a certain logic to having them under one roof.

Maybe you can help me with settings to import AVCHD from Canon HF200 to FCP ???
thanx,
Kaspars

FIRST thing to check: BEFORE you Log and Transfer.. check the FORMAT column in the L&T Window.. this will give you the actual format of the video in its native form before FC gets it hands on it. Compare this to the Item Properties AFTER you ingest and see if it's any different.
Also, when you selct your EASY SET .. PRESS SET UP then start editing.
Ive got a Canon HF100 (PAL) and a Panasonic AG-HMC151E (PAL) they are both AVCHD.. both Shoot 25P .. when I import the two.. Canon is 50i field dom= UPPER .. Panasonic is 25P field dom=NONE.
Video seetings for both ProRes422 HQ 1080/25P 48kHz
Capture: ProRes HQ (though FC can only ProRes from L&T of course!)
Canon does 25P but over 50i .. However, im not sure about my Panasonic as i just got it! .. Will find this out asap.
Hope this helps a little?

Canon ZR-200

I have a Canon ZR-200. When I connect it to my MacBook (10.5.6) via firewire and open iMovie to upload the video - it sees the camcorder - rewinds it - and goes to import - but it crashes...every time. Does anyone know a solution? I have even tried to upload to OneTrueMedia - but I cannot find the camcorder. If I put the camcorder on the photo function - the computer reads and correctly uploads the pictures taken.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!

Canon G7X RAW compatibility

Is Adobe working on incorporating Canon G7X RAW compatibility into Camera RAW 8?

The only answer you will get is, probably. Adobe doesn't make those kinds of announcements in advance. Since support has been added for every other Canon camera that shoots raw images, I see no reason why this model would not be supported. It isn't listed as one of the newly supported cameras in that Camera Raw 8.7 release candidate. But that doesn't mean that it couldn't be added to the final release. This is one of those wait-and-see situations.

Is the canon vixia hf 200 compatable with a mac?

I just got a canon vixia hf 200 but can't get the computer to recognize it. I can't understand what i'm doing wrong. I wanted to be able to load my movies into imovie to edit them. I thought this camera would work with the program. can anyone help me?

That camera should work fine with iMovie 09.
Try connecting your camera with the USB cable and turning it on without iMovie open.
The camera should register as an external drive.
Otherwise you could try taking the SD card out of the camera and using the SD card slot (macbook) or a card reader.
If you get that far, create a new folder on your desktop and copy/paste your video files across from the camera/card to the new folder then eject and disconnect your camera/card.
Now open iMovie and click on File > Import > Movies... and navigate to that folder.
Here is some other info about your camera:

Windows 7 64 bit canon rebel xti compatibility issue

I am having trouble to get my canon rebel xti (400D) to work under windows 7 64 bit. You see the canon camera icon in the devices and printers window with a yellow triangle indicating it's not working properly. Did anyone have the same issue and even got an answer to it?
Thanks.

I believe I have a solution for you and any other XTi owners who don't have the "Print/PTP" option in their menu. I was able to get my XTi to function with Windows 7 64-bit last night. Here is what I did:
1) Installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera).
2) I downloaded the updated EOS Utility version 2.6.1 for Windows Vista x64 from here:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=314&modelid=14256
3) I installed the default Canon utilities disk that came with the camera (which installed and opened without an issue, but wouldn't recognize the camera to download pictures).
4) I executed the 2.6.1 EOS Utility update that I downloaded and received the following error: "Installation program of EOS Utility requires administrator priveleges" even though it was being run as an administrator. Any compatibility options that I selected on the installation resulted in the same error.
5) When you receive the error mentioned in the prior step, DON'T click the "OK" button. First, navigate to the follwing path: "C:\Users\admin-user\AppData\Local\Temp\". Inside this directory, you should see a directory named something like "CanonUPW_000". Copy this whole directory to another location, then click "OK" on the installation program error on the screen (which removes the directory you just copied).
6) Open the directory that you copied in the last step and navigate to the following location: ".\CanonUPW_000\INST\INSTALL\COMMON". You should find an "Install.exe" file in this directory.
7) Open the properties of this "Install.exe" file, then select the "Compatibility" tab.
8) Select the "Change settings for all users" button and select the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
9) Under the "Privilege Level" section, select the "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK twice.
10) Execute the "Install.exe" file. The installation should start and finish succeffully.
11) The EOS Utility should successfully open after you execute it (following the installation).
12) The only thing that doesn't work exactly the same as with using EOS Utility with XP. When you plug your camera in, the program doesn't automatically open. After opening the EOS Utility, you can connect the camera and download pictures, or utilize the software's remote control function.
I hope this works as well for you as it did for me.

Borderless Photo Prints on Canon CP-200 (Selphy)

I am trying to print photos on a Canon photo printer, a CP-200 (small 4x6" photo printer). The printer is recognized by Leopard, and it does print.. just not the way I want.
No matter what settings I adjust, I cannot get it to print borderless (which is the normal printing mode, if I hook a camera directly to the printer it prints borderless). I tried the custom printer settings, where it had an option for "Borderless: Yes/No" but it still didn't print borderless.
On my old G4 Mini, I installed the Canon drivers, and was able to print borderless. But, Canon doesn't make Intel drivers for this printer, so I cannot go that route. My only workaround so far is to print from Windows (in a Parallels VM), which is really clunky.
Any tips?

FWIW, In Mac OS X 10.5.1, I did not have any drivers available in "Add Printer" for the CP-200, so I downloaded the ancient "CP Driver 2.41 OS X" from Canon's web site (2/17/04, certified for Mac OS X 10.2) and ran that installer and rebooted. I didn't even have to go through the "Add Printer" step. My CP-200 simply appeared in the Print dialog's popup.
I can print borderless in iPhoto, but I haven't tried any other settings or applications, given the cost of experimenting.
I installed Leopard with "Archive & Install" and I believe I let it install Canon drivers, but I didn't see more than 2 or 3 Canon choices when I initially tried the "Add Printer" popup.

Canon Vixia M500 Compatability

Is anyone using the Canon Vixia M500 with Final Cut Pro-X? I see that it is not on the compatability list.
Many thanks.

A friend of mine has the M300 that I've worked with a few times. Seems to work just fine in FCPX. I imported media from an Archive (same file structure as what's on the camera.) So if you import directly from the camera (and transcode for optimized and optionally proxy upon import) you should be fine.
PS - Apple is improving compatibilities all the time; not all cameras are on the list. Mine aren't, and in the beginning, I had to transcode 1080 footage in another app first (720/60p imported without issue). Now, FCPX imports the files just fine.

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:

Not necessarily going to affect you-he was just touching all bases.

Canon Mark III Compatibility

I'll be receiving the Canon 1D Mark III this coming Monday. Is LR 1.0 ready to process the Mark III files or will I need an upgrade? I've already installed Camera Raw 4.1 for Photoshop, does that have any impact on LR?
Thanks,
David

Not sure if anyone is still having this issue. I was, and searched forever. Finally found there is a Camera Raw 4.1 upgrade!! Yes - same file name, same version number, but a newer file (can see increased version number in file info). This is for the Mac, but there is one for Windows platform too.
