Canon Vixia HF 200 import problem

I am using one of these at school and i can not get it to Log and Transfer a clip that is over 5 minutes long. This didn't kill the project I was doing (a DVD of the school play) because i had a DV camcorder going also, but if i shoot something over 5 minutes on this Canon i would like to be able to use it in the future.
Does anyone have any idea how to get this video to import without failing?

My Final Cut Pro is version 6.0.6. My scratch disk is 500GB external Seagate in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formating. And my computer is a iMac Mac OS X (10.5.8) 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am not sure what the scratch disc settings are I may be able to check by the end of the day.

  • 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:

  • Better AVCHD camera than Canon Vixia HFS 200?

    About 6 months ago, we got approval at our small newspaper to spend about $1,000 on a Final Cut 4.1-friendly camera. From looking around here for advice, we picked the Canon Vixia HFS 200. They are finally getting around to buying a camera (welcome to the world of beancounters). S the question: Is there a better, more current AVCHD model camera in that range we should consider?  This will be for shooting interviews and features and editing them on a MacBook Pro in Final Cut Express 4.1. Thanks,
    Doug

    And, being a newbie, I am just getting up to speed on AVCHD cameras. So, you just log and transfer the footage from the Panasonic and FCE tranfers it into Apple Intermediate Codec and you are ready to edit wihtout having to render, right? Thanks for the help

  • Canon Vixia HFM301 Audio Import

    I purchased a canon vixia HFM301 camcorder and the files download onto my computer just fine, but when I import the file into Premier Pro CS5, I only get the video file and NO AUDIO.  Can anyone help solve this problem?  I have windows 7 64-bit operating system.  Please help!

    Hello,
    Please, I think you posted this in the wrong forum, this is the forum for Captivate, not for Premiere Pro, could you repost here:

  • Canon Vixia HFM 31 import to IMovie

    I tried to import a movie from my Canon Vixia HfM31 into IMovie and the resulting .mov file was huge...like over 1g for 5 minutes of video.  does this make sense?  Someone at apple support said I should import to Mp4 format but I don't see that option in the import process when the canon video camera is attached to the Mac.  Any suggestions?

    What I'm doing is taking my video and using iMovie to edit it. There is no way to save the iMovie video back to the camera (either the HV 10 or the Canon HF 21S.) So, I save the completed movie to the USB drive. I have to change the exported file name to .mp4 extension first. Then I plug the USB drive into the Blu Ray player and play the video on my Samsung 55 inch TV. Works great. The only limitation I've found is, as I have said, the 4 gig limit on the USB drive. I have had to take most movies and process them in 2 parts to keep down the file size. Doesn't matter, because the Blu Ray player will automatically jump to the next file after it plays the first. Just have to name them so they will load in the correct order. When I said that I wasn't sure about reformatting the drive to Mac OS, I meant would the Samsung Blu Ray recognize and read the files if they were saved on the USB drive with that OS. It is important that everything will be compatible with the Samsung. That is why I could not save the .mov file to the USB drive. It will play the file if it has the .mp4 extension, but not the .mov. You do not have to change anything but the extension.

  • Canon Vixia HF10 and importing into FCP

    Can anyone tell me how to import from the Canon Vixia HF10's internal memory into FCP? It seems that there is only a USB connector on the camera and FCP only supports Firewire. Any suggestions?

    Dear Jerry,
    I have the same issue. Just got the camera. I can copy the "private" folder which contains all the information which I believe is based on .MTS type files.
    I was hoping that I could somehow just load these clips in directly as I used to use a canon miniDV which required me to play the entire clips.
    I have mpegstreamclip but am not too familiar. Is there any other way other than having to convert each and every clip?
    Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

  • Canon Vixia HF20 file import

    Hi,
    I just got a Canon Vixia HF20 AVCHD camcorder, but didn't think to see if it was compatible with Mac.
    Does anyone have this camcorder and know how to get the video files transferred into the mac from it? I can mount the drive on my mac, but cannot find any video to import, although I know there is some on there? I have Final Cut Studio which I am going to try to use this with-

    Jerry...so wonderful to see you are still delivering such helpful advice after so many years. I haven't visited this forum for years but remember how much I did when I first got started--and definitely needed and used your guidance.
    What brings me back is that I got the canon HF 20 and used the importing method you mentioned below. But the files are ridiculously huge. I have cleared most of the 250 GB of space on my computer just to import and burn a DVD of a 1:18 piece.
    Would I be able to get an external drive (I'm using a new mac pro 15" laptop) to import the files into and edit with, so I don't take up all my space on my computer? Or is there another method you might be able to suggest to import, edit and export these files?
    Happy 4th!

  • Canon 5D Mark II Import Problem

    Using Canon Utility to import, appears to not recognize the camera ,but, does work with a Sony Camcorder HXR-NX30P using Windows import for Adobe CS5.5.2. USB 2 Cabling has been checked for stills..
    Any ideas ?

    Well it worked, I never thought of Importing the images still or video  directly  into the C ; drive pictures.
    i still cannot understand why it worked on the Dell Precision  M6600 but not the Dell Precision T5500
    The Sony HXR-NX30P had no problems , it is automatically Imported by Windows.
    Many thanks.

  • Canon Elura 85 clip import problem

    My school just purchased three new Canon Elura 85 camcorders. The problem we are having is that everything imports as one clip. iMovie does not automatically seperate the pauses in recording into different clips. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a setting we need to change in iMovie or on the cameras? Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Did you happen to timecode the tape before you recorded any footage? We have a few 85's and they break the clips up.

  • Aperture and Canon 5D mark II import problem: copyright and author metadata

    After importing RAW images to Aperture, I missing my name and copyright info in metadata, everything els is there; lens, focal length, shutter sped... I try several methods from camera direct, from memory card, using EOS software to HD and to Aperture. Nothing works. Did anybody have same problem?

    Ah. I didn't know that.
    This type of information is defined typically in IPTC, not EXIF. Aperture probably ignores those EXIF fields; in general if it gets EXIF data it doesn't understand, I think it ignores it.
    As to your other comment about making this data unmodifiable -- it's not really possible to make it immutable. EXIF in general is a lot harder to modify than IPTC, but unless the file is encrypted and self-checksumming, a person with a sector editor (or an application designed to change EXIF) will get around this.
    I don't think there's yet a standard way to really "protect" full-sized image files, at least for JPEG or TIFF files.

  • Canon 5D MII raw import problems in LR3

    My installation of LR3 will not import .CR2 raw files from the Canon 5D MII. My LR2 imports fine. What am I missing?

    Are you importing them from a card reader, camera via cable, or from the hard drive?
    If one of the first two, just try copying them to the hard drive and seeing if they'll import that way.  If they do, it's a clue as to why.

  • Canon camcorder taped video importing problem

    I recently upgraded to Tiger from Panther. Before the upgrade, I was able to import video from the tape and memory card in my Canon ZR85 camcorder. Since the upgrade, I can only import from the memory card. I've done all the troubleshooting from iMovie HD help, and am wondering if I should just install the previous version of iMovie (not HD) to have the capability to import the video on tape again or if there is a workaround. Anyone?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    that would be a fine workaround....
    however it's puzzling why you can't import from a DV tape at all...
    you should be able to do that without a hitch...

  • FCE and Canon Vixia HF s21 Dual Flash media

    I have searched the forum for feedback on whether Final Cut Express has any file and transfer issues with a camera that has both SDHD cards and an internal hard drive, like the Canon Vixia HF s21 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder.
    Before I make the purchase, I just wanted to make sure if there are any problems with this set-up when doing log and transfer and whether the HF s21 or the Canon Vixia HFS 200 would be better in working with Final Cut Express 4.0.1 in a newsroom setting on MacBook Pros running Snow Leopard? I am supposing based on checking the forum that since both are AVCHD cameras all will be fine, but I wanted to check.
    Thanks,
    Douglas

    Thanks. Being the old newsroom hand that you are, a follow-up question. I am in the process of recommending a switch away from PC/Premium Elements video production to Final Cut and Macs for my newsroom. But we are only able to upload .flv or mpeg4 files to our website. My (hopefully not illiterate) notion is to shoot in HD on one of these Canons, import and edit into Final Cut and export out as .flvs or mpeg4 for upload to the paper's site. Am I missing something in this or is there another, better workflow under these constraints?

  • 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.

  • Canon Vixia HF200 Import Trouble

    Hi there,
    I'm using the trial version of Adobe Premeire (with intention to purchase in the near future) to import from a Canon Vixia HF200.  The HF200 uses the AVCHD format, written as MFX files.  I shot at the highest quality afforded me by my camera (MXP it's called) at 24 frames per second.
    Here's the problem: when I import the MXF files into Premeire, they're imported as video ONLY, without any audio.  However, when I open up the MXF files in VLC or Windows Media Player, they play with audio.  How come Premiere is not recognizing/not importing the audio tracks?  How can I fix this?  Help!
    Thanks,
    Matthew
