Canon HF10 or 100 vs. HV 30 workflow: Which one is less painful?
I am in the market for a new camcorder.
Would love to hear from people who have hands on time with the Canon HV20 or 30 and Canon HF 10 or 100 and can talk about which workflow is smoother.
I realize that with HDV you have to log and capture the tape realtime; and AVCHD you must convert it to Apple ProRes 422 or AIC before editing.
What I want to know is which process is less painful. I am more concerned with the workflow than picture quality or storage issues.
Thank you for you thoughts in advance.
I work with a canon HV20 and have had no real problems with it. The only problems I have had have been user based when I was first figuring out the workflow. As you will find if you were to search for this topic (since it is brought up so many time) is that all you will need to do is import it as HDV Easy Setup and make sure you set your sequence settings to rener apple Pro Res. Once you have that you should have no problem. Hope that helps, In my opinion for the price and the amazing picture quality you really can't beat the HV20.

Log and Transfer Issues - Canon HF10
I have just recently acquired a Canon HF10 video camera and have had success getting some of the video to my Mac via log and transfer, however when the video files seem to be much longer than a few minutes the process fails. The status bar while it's transferring makes it all the way to 100%, but the file itself never moves up to the browser. When I click the file in the log and transfer window after the status bar has stopped moving I get a red exclamation mark with unknown error. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.
I believe I have figured out what the issue is. I was using an old 250Gb external as my scratch drive. Well - this drive is in FAT format and I just discovered that the FAT drives are limited to 4GB limit, hence the reason I couldn't transfer my larger files. I'm planning on reformatting this drive to Journaled OSX and I should be cool.

Working with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 and am not sure how to get the 24p footage into the software. Everytime I bring it in, it reads as 29.97fps. Any thoughts as to why it does this? What's the workflow to get the 24p footage in there?
Hi -
The HFS 100 records 24p as 60i, which is 29,97.
From the Canon USA spec sheet for the camera:

What is the best project setting in Adobe PE 8 for Canon HF10 Camera?
I have a Canon HF10 camera and I am trying to import the video but can't seem to find a setting that does not require significant rendering before the file is even editted. I am currently using NTSC > AVCHD-HD1080i30 Once I import a file I get the redline across the top of the timeline. I have tried just about every preset the app offers.
My imported file says video is 1440 x 1080 BR 7300kbps FR 29 fs audio is 256kbps sample rate 48k
Thanks

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

How to import video from Canon HF10?
I'm probably just an idiot, but I can't figure out to import the video footage from my Canon HF10. My comp has no problem recognizing the internal hdd and the extra sd card I have for it, but I normally don't work in iMovie, so I'm a little technically ******** when it comes to it's operation. Help?
To all who care,
I have a MacBook unibody and am running Snow Leopard. I have experienced all the same frustrations listed above and on other related posts with respect to the Canon HF10 and Leopard/Snow Leopard. I will tell you that it made absolutely NO SENSE to me why Canon, a very Mac friendly company, would make these procedures SO difficult. Why would I purchase a compact high definition camera that fits in the palm of my hand if space saving and simplification was not a premium in the decision matrix of my investment? You're telling me I need to travel with a power cord, USB cable and an installation CD/DVD at every juncture of my video editing with cords scattered from heck to breakfast? Well, I don't, and Canon didn't intend on my doing that, either.
Procedure to be able to simply place your videos into a finger sized SDHC card reader after placing them on your SDHC/Class IV or higher/card directly from your camera:
1. Ensure your card in installed in your camera (duh)?
2. Turn Camera On.
3. Spin selector wheel to Video Playback.
4. Notice Four Options: Movies: Original (Built-In Mem), Movies: Original (Card), Movies: Playlist (Built-In Mem), Movies: Playlist (Card).
5. The work you've done all goes into the "Movies: Original" Locations. If you, like me, have popped out your card here and beat your head against your computer screen wondering why you can't get to what you know to be on the card, you've stopped here... Here, yes, you do need to follow the book procedure and play the musical cords and curse the poor ergonomic nature of this design.
6. **Clutch Move** Highlight the work you'd like to edit on iMovie in the "Movies: Original (Card)" section and press the FUNC. button.
7. **Clutch Move2** Select "ADD TO PLAYLIST", at which point you will be asked, All scenes on this date or simply this one scene. Do whatever you like, the camera means business. Confirm your request.
8. Check your procedure following skills by now moving to the "Movie: Playlist (Card)" category.
9. Whattaya know!!! Now something is there that wasn't before, that same video clip I've been trying to put on my computer now strangely exists in two locations on my camera... Well, just push the "I believe button" and trust me. When you extract your SDHC card and interface it with your computer, you will be very happy when you see iMovie respond to your request in familiar Mac style and fashion.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if any of you find success with the above procedure.
Godspeed, Mac friends,

Confused by Canon HF10, iMovie '09, AVCHD and file size
Please forgive me for these (probably) basic questions, but right now I feel like a complete idiot.
I recently purchased the Canon HF10. At first I thought it was going to be great to have an HD camcorder (a reason to buy an HDTV, too) for home movies, but evidentially this isn't going to be as nice as I thought. I don't understand the following:
I basically want to shoot video of softball games and save for family use - nothing professional here, just good/great quality home videos. Also, need to be able to stop-action and step through video for softball skill analysis.
1. When I use iMovie '09 to import my video, it is taking forever to transfer. Why?
2. If the internal memory is 16GB, why is it taking up >100GB when I transfer it to my computer? (I don't get it)
3. What does the camera frame rate setting mean by i60 Normal or PF30 or Pf24? (again, I feel really stupid)
4. Is iMovie '09 the right app or is there something else? If something else, why? Again, I basically want to shoot video of softball games and save for family use - nothing professional here, just good/great quality home videos. Also, need to be able to stop-action and step through video for softball skill analysis.
Thanks for understanding my lack of knowledge and all your help and insight is appreciated!
SPRegarding stop action, this camera has the ability for you to take stills while video is recording. It's pretty interesting. Even better, iMovie lets "Add Still Frame to Project." Also if you play video from iMovie Project or Event window's, you can easily view one frame at a time by repeatedly pressing the left or right arrow.
Hard disk storage is cheap now, save up and buy a drive to archive your video. That way later on you could re export your movies to an HD compatible format since burning to DVD as your doing now is not HD.
Also, yes definitely use 60i for action video. This camera really does a great job.
The thing about 30p/24p with this camera is that the resolution is reduced: 60i=1920x180 pixels whereas 30p and 24p modes on this camera is 1440x1080. -
Canon Pixma pro 100 Ink how to identify the black cartridges when label was accidently removed
I just started putting a new Canon Pixma Pro 100 printer together- I was not thinking and removed two of the grey (light), and grey cartridges labels. Now I do not know which to put in the slots, I cannot see any gradient by holding them up to the light, and the actual cartridge is not marked. I am soooo dumb, any suggestions.

Hi guys,
I've just received my new canon pixma pro 100 printer & I'm having problems setting up. When powered up the printer instantly made a grinding noise. Switched it off a few times but the print head holder failed to slide along the rails. All stoppers & tapes have been removed so nothing to obstruct the set up process.
Can anyone help or had similar issues?
Thanks in advance.You are possitive there is no packing or tape left inside? 100% sure?

Canon Pixma Pro-100 prints very dark
I see that this is a recuring problem with the Canon Pixma Pro-100, but as nothing I have found online helps I'm asking and are hoping that someone can solve this problem for me.
Just picked up a Pixma Pro-100 today, and installed it on my 2011 iMac 27" (Yosemite) with downloaded drivers from Canon's website to be sure i have the latest ones. I also checked the printers firmware but that's the latest at 1.100. Wether I'm printing via Lightroom or Photoshop; or via Canon Print Studio Pro, My Image Garden, or via LR / PS directly; with- or without PS as color manager; the prints turns out to be much to dark.
I have to set an exposure of +2/3 in LR to be anywhere close to getting the same result as on the screen. I'm also careful to select the right ICC profiles for the correct paper. My monitor is calibrated with an Spyder4pro and I also re-calibrated it during this process to see if that helped.
Well. Long story short; the prints are to dark. So i borrowed my wife's 2013 MacBook Pro (Yosemite) Spyder4pro, and installed the latest drivers from Canon. Again; on this machine the prints are also to dark with about +2/3 to correct for the printer to do something that looks like the monitor. Both monitors are also set to about 30% brightness.
I also have access to an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and the prints from this comes out much brighter.
Sadly I see that many others also have the same problem. So; here's the question. How do I fix this? Do i have to return the printer again and get a refund? Because this is clearly not good enough.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:

You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

How to print from Lightroom 5 to Canon Pixma pro-100?
Using Lightrooms printmodule with this printer is a big problem for me. Using Cannon Print studio Works, but then you
loose a lot of great functionallity in LR print module.
It seems that when I make a preset or set up printer with correct ICC profile the canon printer driver automatically resets to its own default.
It looks like a print driver in the background resets everything i do. Very confusing and Canon support points to adobe.
My setup:
Macpro with OSX 10.9.2 (latest version)
Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud member, always latest version)
Canon Pixma pro-100 (bought new april 2014)
I have looked several places on internett and it looks that there are a lot people having similar problems.
I would appriciate any help to find an easy setup/soltion !
Thanks in advance
NicolaasI have the Pixma Pro-100. But I'm using Windows 7, so I'm afraid I can't be a lot of help to you. I tried to help someone in another forum the other day and showed some screenshots, but he said he didn't have anything like that on the Mac.
If you're going to use ICC profiles, you have to turn off color management either in the printer or in the printer driver. It doesn't matter which one, just make sure that it gets turned off. Then what I do is I use soft proofing with the appropriate paper profile to prepare a soft proof copy for printing. After I have set my printer settings the way I want them and have everything just right in Lightroom, I save the preset for printing. And it seems to keep what I have set. If you can show me some screenshots of your printer driver, perhaps I can be of assistance.
Regardless of whether I allow Lightroom to manage the color or allow the printer to manage it, I am getting really nice prints. So I'm sure there's something that you are probably just overlooking. -
I'm thinking about buying the Canon HF10 and in my research I've got a couple of questions that I just wanted to be sure about. Am I correct that the file one would download off of the flash card is an AVCHD H.264 formatted file? What is the exact file extension? Also, does the built in 16gb card capture about 2 hours of footage at the highest quality? And let's say I pull this 16gb of data off the card and onto the computer via iMovie, will this take 16gb of hard disk space? Or does it somehow decompress and expand as I pull it off the camera? And, even though it's a h.264 compressed file, I won't be able to directly play it over my Apple TV? What do I need to do in order to play it on the Apple TV. I saw some posts saying it was best to record it in 24fps, but I'm not sure what to do after that.
Thanks!
Rodhey there solsurfer,
if your cam is AVCHD, your footage will be converted to AIC in iMovie 08 or FCE4. these files will be about 4x the size of standard -def/MiniDV. so if 1 hour of DV=12.3 GB, then 1 hour of AVCHD/AIC will be 49.2GB. you might want to consider a large(320GB or more) HDD for your movies & events.
in iMovie 08 you edit your footage, then "Share" to Apple TV & the movie will be encoded & sent to iTunes.
specific questions about a cam's capture format/codec, quality & quantity on flash media should be available @ the manufacturer's 'site.
good luck. -
Problems importing Canon HF10 media into FCP7
Hello everyone, hoping for what I hope will be an obvious answer, but one I've yet to find myself!
I am trying to import files directly from a SDHC card from a Canon Vixia HF10 into the latest version of FCP Studio 7, ( and also I've tried to import into FCExpress ver4 too ), but without success when I put the card into the SDHC reader slot in my new 27" Quad iMac. I get a message when using Log and Transfer saying that it is an incompatible file format. However I can import the files if I download via the camera and USB connection into Log and Capture, that's not always possible of course when the camera's not here, but the used cards are. I have also tried another SDHC card reader into an open USB slot, ( the way I normally import files from my Sony EX1R for instance....), but that doesn't work either.
I know there's an issue with the AVCHD files that the Canon produces, but I thought that recent FCP and FCE applications could deal with that. I am running OSX 10.6.3. In the Log and Capture import prefs the AVCHD option is set to Apple Pro Res 422 HQ. The iMac is a new 27" 2.66 GHz Quad core i5. But I have the same importing issue with my 17" MBP as well.
Any clues would be gratefully received, thanks!OK, just found the solution, and as pretty much always, it was "operator error"........
The camera, Canon HF10, was set to record to it's internal memory, not the SDHC card. So that's why media could be read when you downloaded via USB2 cable connection, but if you tried to read from the SDHC card slot on the Mac there was nothing there to read. Would have stumbled across this earlier if the error message stated "no media", but it didn't it just said the media could be read.
Solution, set the camera to record to the SDHC card not the internal memory and Log and Capture picks it up just fine with the card is in the reader.

Hi,
I saw something similar in some of the other message boards but didn't understand it.
I shot a feature film using a canon hf10 at 24p and a panasonic hpx170 at 24p. I brought the panasonic footage into fcp using log and transfer. however, when i try to bring the canon footage in log and transfer reads it as 30p, and not 24. the camera is clearly set to 24p. Is this a problem with FCP or with the Canon? Will I have to convert my footage? Will this cause any problems? Please advise.
Thanks,
JordanJordan-
What you'll need to do is to take your .mov files you log and transferred from the HF10 and put them into Compressor. Inside of Compressor convert them into ProRes 422 LT with Frame Controls On - and select "Remove Telecine" under the Deinterlace drop-down.
What's happening is that the HF10 shoots 24p footage and then wraps it in a 60i wrapper using a processing called telecine. You just need to remove the telecine and the footage will be fine.
