Canon HG20 Log and Transfer at 24mbps

Quick question for those familiar with the camera. I posted this morning and decided to buy an HG10 after getting some helpful info from someone. For $69 more, I can get the HG20 with the larger hard drive and slightly greater zoom, as well as 1980x1020 videos verses the 1440 on the HG10.
So my question, is there any problem doing Log and Transfer for conversion to AIC or ProRes with this camera at the highest setting of 24mbps in Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. I will be using my iMac listed below. I checked the supported devices on the Apple site and did not see the HG20 but I did see the HG10, and all of its cousins.
Thank you very much to all who answer!

Hey man, I'm running FCE4.0HD on my MacBook. I have been recording EVERYTHING in 24mbps so far, and I've been having no issues what-so-ever transferring the AVCHD video via log&transfer on FCE4.0HD (Final Cut Express 4). I also have the Canon HG20. I also have done my research on the Apple support site and saw the exact same thing you did. But like I said, I haven't had any problems with it so far. I'm not too sure as for FCP6.0, but if it supports the log&transfer method for AVCHD -- I think you're good.

  • Canon T2i log and transfer, file size HUGE

    Hi everyone. I need help understanding why my canon t2i files are so large in fcp 7. i've downloaded and modified the script for canon os plugin for tcp, so i can use the log and transfer feature. i have the preferences set to apple 422

    This is a question for the Final Cut Studio forum. Your clips are being transcoded to ProRes, which are much larger than the original H.264.

  • Canon HG10 log and transfer

    When importing a clip longer than apx. 4.5 minutes I get a unidentified error message when the transfer ends. Works fine for clips shorter clips. This happens no matter what import settings I use. It's not the camera since I can import it fine into iMovie 08.
    Suggestions?

    That's a great suggestion and I'll take another look at my capture settings; what has me frustrated is that I've played with the settings so many times with no change in the outcome. And I can't see why it works up to about 4 1/2 minutes and not after that. I will also take a look at QuickTime and see if there are any settings there that might make a difference.
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Canon Log and Transfer problem

    Hello all,
    I'm trying to upload some HD files from my Canon HF20 on the latest edition of FCP to my iMac 10.58 and running into a problem.
    FCP recognizes the video captured on the internal memory. However, it does not recognize the video captured on the SD card in the camera.
    Any ideas?

    Well, I'm connected to my iMac using a USB. (iMac is running version 10.58 of Leopard). I'm using the latest version of FCP 7.0.2
    I can log and transfer files "taped" to the internal memory of my HF20. Files show up fine and import fine.
    However, the files that are on the SD card in the camera don't show up in the Log and transfer. ( I put the SD card on a card reader and still no luck.)
    I put the card back into the camera and hit the "Add volume" on the top left of the log and transfer and I can see my Canon drive and the other drive which is called "No Name" (I'm assuming simply because I haven't named it anything) I'm also assuming the No Name Drive is the SD card. However, I may be wrong. All the files are grayed out on this drive.
    Not sure what else I need to add to give you more info. Let me know if what other info needed and I'll post it.
    Thanks again!

  • Log and Transfer w/ Canon HF20  FCE

    I have the canon hf20 It worked perfect with imovie 09,
    I just bought Final Cut Express, I can't get it to log and transfer for the life of me. Is final Cut Express 4 and Canon HF20 compatible?
    How do you import video / log and transfer?
    I can't find the answer anywhere!

    I have a Canon HF S100 and am also running into the problem. It will bring my clips up but when I drag them over after setting up an in and out it says there is no data.

  • Canon HF11 not showing up in log and transfer window

    I am using FC Studio 6.0.6 and a Canon HD USB camera. The camera does not show up in the log and transfer window. It shows up on the desktop, works with iMovie '09 but not FCP. If I try to select files from the camera they are greyed out. Strange thing is is that it works fine on my iMac just not my MBP. I have trashed the FCP and Quicktime preferences but this did not help. HELP please.

    I also am wondering what you mean by "file structure"? Do you mean the AVCHD files or something in FCP?
    If you look for a particular file on a drive, there's a file structure or "path" to get to it. For instance;
    Macintosh HD > Users > Nick > Documents > FCP > Projects > My latest project.
    If I don't follow that path, I won't get to the file I am looking for.
    Similarly, Final Cut Pro is expecting to see a certain path to the actual video files on your camera's Flash drive. If a folder name along the way is missing or had it's name changed, the path is no longer valid.

    Download and install the latest version of the E-1 plugin from Canon’s website here:

  • Canon HF10 avchd file will not transfer in Log and Transfer window

    Hello-
    I just installed Final Cut Express 4 on my MacBook (intel core due with 4gigs ram... running snow leopard/ 10.6.1) and I cannot get any video to load in from my Canon Vixia HF10. When using the Log & Transfer window my camera is recognized and I see and can preview all the clips that are on the camera (attached via. USB). All video is shot at the highest quality FX rate. When I add a clip to the "Que" the wheel spins for about 10 seconds then it says '1 clip queued' and an orange "!" appears. If I hover over the icon it says 'failed- no data'.
    I am using the apple intermediate HD codec 1060i and stereo audio. I have re-installed FCE, removed preferences files, rebooted the computer, restarted and reconnected the camera etc... and no luck.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated. I have seen a smattering of others with a similar issue but no resolution that works.
    Thanks for your help!

    I cannot get FCE to recognize my m2ts (AVCHD) files either. It seems FCE, like iMovie, will import directly from the camera but it will NOT import m2ts files already off-loaded from the camera onto a drive on your computer or network. Some have said it will work ONLY if the entire file set, including the support files the camera creates in addition to the video file itself, is present at the time you attempt the transfer. Worse, Canon's software that most people use to transfer the video files from the camera do not also transfer these support files. It may be doable if you connect the camera and transfer the entire file and folder structure as-is but that's only a guess.
    If you are like me who offloaded these files long before I purchased my MAC (and did not also offoad the support files), you may be out of luck. This caveat to working with AVCHD files is a subtle distinction that Apple should clear up, especially since it is prominently highlighting this new capability. I was in the Apple store and viewed the product with a sales associate BEFORE the purchase. The sales associated looked at the Log and Transfer utility and also thought this would work-- so I bought FCE on the spot.
    If anyone knows how to import previously off-loaded m2ts files directly into either iMovie or FCE, I would like to hear how it is done. Please note that I have been down the file conversion route too. Toast 10 de-synced the audio and other file converters left horrible jagged edges to moving pictures. De-interlace programs made it worse. Most conversions will introduce some corruption or undesireable artifact.
    Others have said, boo hoo, AVCHD is a garbage codec that the pros will not touch and Apple shouldn't either. OK but Apple is attempting to sell its computers to the average Joe and people who like SIMPLICITY. Would be nice if Apple better supported AVCHD "for the rest of us."

  • How to speed up Log and Transfer in FCP 7.0 of Canon 7D footage on my Macbook

    Hey there,
    I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0 and the Log and Transfer of my Canon 7D footage is taking forever.
    I have both the Canon XF MPEG2 plugin and the Canon EOS Movie plugin.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers!

    Are you transferring the files directly from the camera, via a USB cable?
    Try taking the card out of the camera and using a good quality card reader, or better yet, try copying the camera storage card to a hard disk (preserving the complete card file structure) and then Log and Transfer from that copy on hard disk.
    See if that speeds up the L&T ingest.

  • How to import Canon FS100 footage (.MOD) via Log and Transfer?

    I have a Canon FS100 video camera. I records in standard definition 480p video, and saves the files in the .MOD format. Lately, I've just been using iMovie to edit my videos because it can easily import to files. Final Cut Express cannot, though, as far as I'm aware. What I've been doing is copying the files onto my computer, then using a convertor to convert the MOD files into .MOV files, but then FCE has trouble editing it. It causes it to have to render after each edit. Is there an easier way to edit my video? I've tried converting the MOD files into other formats such as DV video, but it still has the rendering problem. My FS100 doesn't show up in the Log and Transfer window of FCE. Is there a way I can make it appear? Thanks.

    .mod files are a problem. Are you shooting in 4:3 or 16:9 mode?
    What app are you using to convert them ... and what are you converting them to?
    The .moi files are index information associated with the .mod files that contain the actual video.
    MPEG Streamclip should be able to convert the .mod files. You may need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Componen, if you don't already have it on your Mac. ($20 download from the Apple Store). (You may need to change the .mod file extension to .mpg then open it in MPEG Streamclip.) If you are shooting 4:3 then in MPEG Streamclip convert the videos to QuickTime using Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC compression (this is a selection on the conversion screen).

  • Log and Transfer with Canon 5d mark iii footage on OS 10.5

    FCP is not recognizing my SCDH card in the Log and Transfer window
    and I'm wondering why this is.
    I am running OS 10.5 - and there were no additional EOS drivers available
    on Canon's website for my OS.
    I am shooting with the new 5D mark iii. When I first got the Rebel T2i a few years
    back, I had the same problem and installing the Canon driver worked to
    get the card to show up in the Log and Transfer window.
    Does anyone have tips for how to get my Log and Transfer window to recognize
    a card from the 5D mark iii?
    Thanks.

    Hi, guys.
    In my experience, the best native format is ProRes MOV while the 5D Mark III recorded file is H.264 MOV. So I have been using a H.264 to ProRes MOV Converter to help me change the 5D Mark III H.264 MOV files before importing to FCP on my iMac. I found the way from Google. The below is the link.

  • 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.

  • Log and Transfer Crash FCP 6.06, from Canon Vixia HF20

    I am having a strange problem in logging and transferring from FCP 6.06. I have been logging and transferring from my Canon Vixia HF20 without any problems for monthes. Then I have been granted access to a Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM from work, I logged and Transferred from the flash memory unit HXR-FMU128, without any problems. But ever since I logged and Transfered from the sony flash unit, in attempting to log an transfer from my Canon Vixia has caused FCP to crash every single time. I then log and transfer again from the Sony Flash unit without any problems, after having dealt with the Canon transfer crashes.
    Currently log and transfer from Song Flash unit always works, from Canon Vixia never works in FCO 6.06.....boooOOO!
    Anyone else experience a problem like this?

    Hi Eugene
    Seems like maybe your FCP's preferences have taken a turn for the worse ... at least I haven't heard of this being a widespread issue so I would recommend you start by using a free app like Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to make a backup copy of your current FCP user preferences, then use the same Preference Manager app to "trash" those existing prefs. Now restart FCP and see if the problem still persists .. hopefully not. If the problem is still there then you can use Preference Manager (again) to restore your previous prefs from the backup copy you made ... and you are back where you started.

  • Log and Transfer for MXF files (Canon 300XF) suddenly doesn't work

    I've searched for a solution and I've pulled out a few hairs...
    We have 2 identical FCP7 MacPro workstations (2x2.66 dual-core Xeon, 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7300GT, 256MB VRAM, OSX 10.6.8).
    Both systems have successfully ingested MXF files captured by a Canon 300XF using Canon's XF plugin for FCP.
    Until today.
    One system doesn't ingest the footage anymore.  One still does.
    The faulty system sees the footage in Log and Transfer, but as we add the footage to the queue, the red exclaimation point pops up.  Hovering over the alert gives us: ERROR: UNKNOWN.
    Nothing has changed in either system.
    Any ideas?  Gremlins maybe?
    Thanks!

    ...and a Canon XF Utility software uninstall/reinstall solved it.
    Oops.
    Should have tried that before the 17 other things we tried.
