Canon mvi files import

Hi
Will Premier 6.5 import MVI movie files used by canon cameras
Thanks
Paul M

I have never heard of MVI... do you mean MOV?
The key is... what codec is inside that MOV wrapper?
Read Bill Hunt on a file type as WRAPPER http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below... a screen shot works well to SHOW people what you are doing
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
For Mac http://mediainspector.massanti.com/

If you have a red line over the timeline after importing a video and before adding any effects... your project is wrong for your video... read above about codecs
Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project
Also, if you are talking about a HiDef camera... your old Premiere 6.5 is not likely going to work... but, what is the exact codec?

Canon XF300 files importing without video track

When I import files from my Canon XF300, either directly off the card or from a duplicate of the card on my hard drive, only the audio tracks come in. I've tried doing the import from Media Browser and from the import dialog with the same results for both. The video files work fine in Canon's XF Utility and on the camera itself.
I tested this with another set of videos--some work and some don't. I have no idea what's making one set of files work and others not. I have one older project from when XF300 import did work for me, and one of those files has since changed to just showing audio on its own. What's going on here? I've tried Adobe phone support but it's impossible to get ahold of anyone as the callback system doesn't work properly (calls you back and then puts you on hold for 20+minutes.)
I really need to get thsi working as its for a project and it's frustrating as there are no errors. I've tried re-installing Premiere Pro with no success.

Doesn't look like Beyond Compare has a mac version, so I used Diff to check the differences. The only thing that was different was in the XMP files, which much be something Premiere makes?
Here's the output of diff -rc in one specific folder:

Aperture 3.1 can't find/see my Canon RAW files when importing

Aperture 3.1 cannot see my CANON RAW files when doing import!!!
Do I really have to re-reference each image in the library if I have moved the library to a different volume? Images are not moved to the library, only referenced.

You don't want to re-import files if you move the library. You just need to reconnect the masters.
If you moved the whole thing over at once it should be easy; if you monkeyed with the folder names you could have a lot of work on your hands.

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is no relevance.
The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

Problems Importing Canon XF Files

I am running Premiere Pro CC (v 7.2.1) under Windows 7. I import footage created on a Canon XF300 and XF100, among other cameras. Prior to v7.2.1, I would import XF by clip name, each clip containing one or more 2 GB files. The files would load separately, with a length of about 5 minutes. When placed in a sequence, the files would be loaded sequentially, but remain separate. They would play across the boundaries without jumping or losing sync. While not convenient when editing, I completed many projects in this manner. The time code of each file was displayed as recorded, head-to-tail with the previous file.
With 7.2.1, the same video is automatically merged when imported into the project. Each file assumes the same content as the entire clip. However the time code has the same starting value as the last file in the clip, whether I import directly from Windows Explorer (ctl-I) or use the media browser. This appears to be what version 7 intended to do, and I can work with it.
Whatever the merits of this "improvement," it is not documented well. It took me a day and a half searching the web and experimenting before I could proceed. Thank heavens for the holidays and extended deadlines.
My problem is, projects completed under previous versions and updates did not automatically merge the clips, but when I open them in the latest PPro, it attempts to "correct" this deficiency and merge the files. Consequently, I cannot revisit earlier files without starting from scratch. I have CS6, but only files created in that or earlier versions can be opened.
How do I best proceed to open recent projects without messing them up? When will the product manual (PDF) be updated from the October 2013 version? What ever happened to the concept, "backward compatibility"?

Here is what I found out...
If you use Media Browser to import files directly from the Canon XF card, and select the Canon XF option in the menue, only a single file appears in the list, with the name of the first segment in the clip directory. If you import that file, it has the contents of the sum of all segments, but with the starting time code of the last segment.
If you copy the clip directories from the card to your hard drive, Media Browser sees all of the individual segments and does not offer the Canon XF import option, only the File Directory option. If you import the clip, all of the segments appear in the project window, but each segment is identical to the first, and contains the sum of all clips and the starting time code of the last segment.
If you remove the CIF files from the clip directory on the hard drive, PPro 7.2.1 imports each segment without merging their contents. Each segment contains about 5 minutes of footage (50 MHz video), and the starting time code of each segment is consecutive. This is same the way PPro 7.1 and previous versions would import Canon XF files from the hard drive, even if the CIF files were present. If you open an earlier project with 7.2.1, these files will be automatically merged, destroying the integrity of your sequences and edits.
In conclusion, if you want to use the full power of 7.2.1 to merge the segments within a clip, from a copy of the clip on your hard drive, import only the first segment of each clip.
If you wish to use 7.2.1 on projects created with 7.1 or earlier, remove the CIF files from the clip first, and the project will be opened with the same individual segments as before. (This does not change the behavior under v6 or V7.1, since these versions ignored CIF files on the hard drive.) You must be careful to use shift-select-all to move all following segments together. Alternately, you can nest the segmented sequence inside another sequence, which will allow you to edit the sequence as a single file.
PPro 6 and 7 apparently imported Canon XF files correctly ONLY from the original card, which has certain directory names and structure, and ONLY if you used Media Browser with the Canon XF import option. If you do this, PPro writes additional information (XMP and PEK) files on the card, which may render it unreadible on the camera. In any case, it's best to preserve the original intact and work from a hard drive copy.

Canon 5d markII file import

I am trying to figure out how to get the video files made from the new Canon 5D to import properly into FPC. the file is
H.264, 1920 x 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
fps: 30
I cant seem to find the right sequence preset and I keep getting error messages.
when I try to log and transfer I get a warning that says
MVI_0992.mov contains unsupported media or has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure maches supported media.
when I just drag to a timeline of a new sequence its allways mismatching( I have tried many presets)
and the file will not play for more that one or two frames before giving me the "warning dropped frames" window
do I need to convert these files in compresser BEFORE I edit them? Im confused.

Ive been told to convert the 5dmk2 files in to proress then import them in to fcp
I havent had a proper look at this yet but you might try this

let me no how you get on when Ive finished the project Im on I want to have a go with the 5dmk2!

Getting WMV and MVI files to itunes.And ipod

I recently filmed a video of a family event. And wanted to transfer the video to Itunes. The original file extension was mvi. but i also changed the file to wmv. But, itunes would not allow me to import or click and drag into my library. Any Help?

iTunes cannot play WMV or MVI files (nor, BTW, can you change a format just by changing the filename extension). You'll need to convert the video to a format iTunes can handle. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads with suggestions as to utilities you can use to do the conversion.

My scanner isn't a choice in File Import in PSE 8 for Mac

I just loaded PSE 8 in my new Macbook (Snow Leopard), but my Epson scanner doesn't appear in File>Import. I've followed all the instructions I can find including loading Rosetta and downloading the Twain drivers from the Epson site. Can anyone help?

You will need to go to Epson's site to see what is available for your scanner model. If you find one, download it and follow the instructions for installing it.
Sorry I can't be more specific, but I have a canon scanner (and it's so old there's never going to be an intel plug-in for it).

How do I move mvi files from iPhoto into iMovie?

In finder, locate the video, then drag & drop it on iMovie's icon.

CS5.5 hangs on file import

I have been using PP for several versions and have never experienced any major issues until now. At some point in the last few weeks (cannot link it to a recent PP update, but that may be the case) I have started having extreme problems when importing files. It started on my laptop, then I experienced the same problem on my desktop.
I nearly always import .mov files and have had no problems in the past. Now PP hangs randomly on file import. It seems to work more often than not if I import one file at a time, but even then it may stop randomly on a file. If I restart it may successfully import the file it stopped on, or it may crash again. It is impossible to import a large batch of files at once, so working on a large project is now almost impossible. I cannot see anything in this forum that relates to it. I am running Windows 7 an PP version 5.5.0. In addition my laptop version randomly shows 'pending' against different files - this changes to other files if I re-start. If I try to re-link it can also cause a hang.
One other change in my workflow. I have switched from a Canon 5D mark II to a mark III. But I can read and edit the files succesfully and play them in other applications, just as with the mark II. But even with the mark III I successfully imported my first batch of files about a month ago and had no problems whatsoever.
Any ideas?

Update
I have been researching this further. There is a possibility that this is related to the new container format in the 5D mark III. This camera now allows high or low compression .mov files to be created. In the mark II they were all low compression. The last batch that I created was high compression. It is possible that PP is having trouble with these. It still randomly rejects files and randomly reports some as being off-line, yet the next time I connect they are back on-line. I created a batch of 10 with low compression and they loaded correctly, but have not tested this with a large batch of real files. I am also checking with Canon to see what has changed.
If anyone has any further advice or experience I'd be grateful. In the meantime it seems that the only way I can safely process these files is to run them all through the media encode and convert them to mp4 or something similar.
Further update
I am gradually answering my own question here. For anyone with a Canon 5D mark III you might be interested.
First batch of footage shot on 5D mk III set to 1080P high compression. This caused PP and Media Encode (ME) to crash frequently. Even footage already loaded came back with an off-line message randomly.
Test set of footage shot on 5D mk II worked perfectly in the same project. There are no compression options on the mk II.
Could not convert original batch with ME so used MPEG Streamclip to convert the batch of 100+. Conversion worked first time. Import into PP worked perfectly.
Shot a test batch of 10 with the mk III in low compression and they all imported with no problems.
This points to an incompatibility between PP/ME and the new 5D mk III low compression format files. I'll report this as a bug to Adobe. I have already reported it to Canon.

How do you get canoscan lide 110 scanner to display in "file import" menu?

I have several older versions of Photoshop Elements running on various computers. In ALL of them, if you go to "File>Import" you see "Canoscan LIDE xx". when you choose it, there is a great scanning application that runs. On a newer computer, i had Photoshop CS5.5 installed. It only shows WIA under the import menu. The scanning software there is horrible. I tried installing the same scanner (lide 110) on an older computer running older photoshop elements and it showed up. i then installed a older version of the elements software on the new computer. Again, the scanner showed up. Not wanting to break licensing agreements, i just downloaded a brand new version of photoshop elements 12 and installed it. it only shows WIA in the file/import menu and not the scanner. therefore, i dont have the scanning software/application i need. without it, this version of elements is 100% useless to me. can someone please help me get my scanner to appear in the "file>import" menu? Yes, i do have the latest version of software downloaded from canon's website.

Hi,
I believe that this is where PC & MAC versions differ.
The PC version will "get from scanner" in the organizer but the MAC version has to "Import from scanner" in the editor. I don't know why they act differently.
It has been posted on this forum (can't find thread at the moment) a fix for the windows version of copying a module from a previous version if you had one. That is not an official fix.
If I find the link I'll post back.

Previews missing from Canon Raw Files

On the last few imports from both Nikon D800 .nef files and Canon .cr2 files the previews are missing. The machine is a
Mac Pro Tower
2.66Ghz with 8gig Ram Plenty of HD space Running 10.6.8   Adobe Photoshop CS6 All updates for both adobe products and Mac OS have been installed.   Camera Raw is upto date.
So when using the camera downloader in bridge the files down load fine. Then when you navigate to the folder to look at the files all you have is the white icon of the file type not the Jpeg preview.   I   have reset Bridge, emptyed it folder as well as main cach and this still happens.    So my question is how do I fix this?
Thanks

Can't open Canon RAW files in LR1.3, Photoshop, Bridge

Hi.
I'm having a problem with some Canon RAW image files a second photographer sent me. He sent about 800 files and I'm only able to import into LR (1.3) about 15% of the files. The remainder will not import. Upon import, LR says something to this effect: "files appear to be unsupported or damaged." I tried them on both of my macs (my G5 and laptop) and had the same thing happened. Photoshop says: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file."
They show with this icon: file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%203.png
When I do the "get info" on these files, under "General:" it says, e.g., that a file is a 10.8MB file. Under the "More info:" box, it says the dimensions are 0x0 (that's weird because when I look at this for other good files there are numbers for the dimensions).
This is a picture of the "get info" window:
file:///Users/marthafitzsimon/Desktop/Picture%201.png
I have tried to open these files in LR, Photoshop, Bridge and Preview and nothing will open these.
The files are locked so I unlocked one, but that made no difference whatsoever.
I noticed one thing about the naming convention on the files,but I don't think this matters. My own Canon RAW files always have the .CR2 extension. All of his files have the .cr2 extension. Mine are all uppercase and his are lowercase. However, I don't think this could matter because the files I was able to download of his all had the .cr2 extension, just like the ones I couldn't download.
(PS: Just in case you saw my earlier posting, this problem has nothing to do with that. This is another second photographer's files that I'm having problems with. Jonathon LeFaive solved that other problem for me.)
Thank you for any help you can provide! Martha

LR 3 is a complete new build so it will not overwrite the earlier version of LR 1.3 or its catalog or other settings.
The install procedure will recognize your LR 1.3 catalog and ask if you wish to create/ convert to a LR 3 catalog. This procedure will not overwrite your 1.3 catalog but will create a LR 3 compatable copy.
Download the trial which is good for 30 days before you will need to pay the upgrade price of $99 if you decide to keep. The trial is the full package and you will not be restricted in any way.
The new features are a substantial upgrade with significant improvement in the conversion output of your raw files.
Full details are provided in the "read me file" included with the download which should be read carefully before you install. The decision should be a no brainer.

PS CS5 not seeing scanner in File Import

I've upgraded from CS3 to CS5 and PS doesn't see my scanner in File > Import.
I looked in the CS3 PS Import/Export folder and see a TWAIN.plugin, but don't see one in the CS5 PS Import-Export folder.
Should I copy the TWAIN.plugin into the CS5 folder? Or is interacting with scanners handled differently in CS5 vs CS3?
The scanner is a Canon LIDE 600F, and if I launch CS3 I can scan no problem.
Thx,
Steven

You'll need the TWAIN plug-in for CS5 (moving the old one from CS3 or CS4 is NOT a good idea)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html

After you install the TWAIN Plug-in, you will likely need to run Photoshop in 32bit mode because most scanners have 32bit TWAIN drivers.
